Go buy a loaf of bread and a jug of milk.” “Here’s $.50 to get you and your sister some candy.” Trent went to his cooking mother and got the money, then left for the grocery store. Trent was walking down to the local supermarket, which was one block from his house when he heard a squealing animal. It was near, yet distant. He looked over to the playground and started walking to it. He heard the crying sound again. He looked under the slide and saw a puppy crying. He scooped it up and looked for a collar. He didn’t see one. Trent then carried the dog home. “Mom. I found a dog”, Trent said. “A dog?”,Trent’s Mom said. “Yes, a dog.”,Trent said again. …show more content…
Shipley just laid there on his mat. Several months had passed since Trent had met the Australian Shepherd puppy. Trent and his mother were very suspicious about how Shipley was acting lately. Shipley hadn’t ate or drunk anything for 3 days, he yelped every time Trent touched him, and he vomited nearly every time he moved. Trent and his mother had finally decided to take him to the vet. “I don’t know if he ate anything.,” Trent said sadly to the vet “He just came in from outside one day and laid down. I didn’t think it was weird.,”. “Well...Let us take a sample and we will tell you the results of our scan.,” the vet said. 2 more days passed when the tests came back. Shipley still hadn’t ate anything but a piece of Trent’s donut. “I have some pretty bad news.,” the veterinarian announced “Shipley has Parvovirus.,” “There aren’t any available cures for the virus.,”. “What choices do we have?,”Trent’s mother asked. “The only options are to put him down or let him suffer and die.,” Trent cried at the decisions he had. for he wasn’t ready to let him go, but he didn’t want to let him suffer. “Put him down!,” Trent sadly agreed with his mother. Trent then kissed Shipley on his forehead and said” Goodbye
Once upon a time there was a young boy named jack. jack was 15 years old and lived in austin, texas. He has been wishing for a dog for a very long time now. While decorating the Christmas tree in the family room, a blue Dog jumped out from behind a couch and tackled jack to the ground. But just when he was about to let out a scream for help, jack realized that the blue Dog was only licking his face, not trying to bite it off. At that moment, jack decided to keep the blue Dog as a pet. Since it was Christmas Eve he decided to name his pet clifford the blue Dog ''.'' Then he heard a noise from the front porch. That's right, it was jack's mother, susan. And boy was she surprised to see a blue Dog next to jack by the Christmas Tree! ''What in world is that?'' shouted susan. ''It's a blue Dog,'' answered jack. ''ah, I can see that, jack, but what on earth is it doing here?'' said susan. ''It's my new pet!'' answered jack. ''Oh you think so do you?'' remarked susan. ''I wouldn't get your hopes up. You know how your father hates blue Dogs. But, well, I suppose you can keep him until your father comes home.'' And with that jack grabbed by the scruff of the neck and led his new pet into the kitchen--even though he knew his father was probably going to dissaprove. Once in the kitchen, jack and his dog played and played, that is until jack's favorite television show, ''spongebob,'' started.
“Well,” Mrs. Johnson interrupted, “how about we settled down and talk about our plans for the morning?” Everyone agreed and sat in a circle discussing their ideas. Next, they decided they should head to bed due to the early times they would have to wake in the morning. As they woke up, they put on their layers of clothes, grabbed their bags, and headed for the Johnsons’ business. They would be staying in an attic, which luckily had a bathroom, but would have to sleep all in one room. They set up their belongings and set rules which they would have to follow to stay safe.

The thump of Lila landing on the floor had startled Tom momentarily and slightly brought him back to his sense. However, not fully. The character he'd inhabited on the journey home was still in control, but the noise and the look in the woman's eyes, caused her name, and her relationship to flash into his mind, and also why he'd thrown her to the floor as he had. Because she wanted it, it was her fantasy, and he was here to provide it to her. In as realistic fashion as possible.
Is there any coffee left?” Ernest asked, holding up his cup. “Sure,” Don said and filled it. “I don’t know if you knew it, but once Butch healed, he was the sweetest dog, I have ever seen. He lived in our home for years until we gave him to my nephew for his son.” Ernest smiled and said, “I never knew that. It was funny at the time you scared the hell out of me when you told me you gave no one discounts. If anybody asked for one that you charged them double.” “I remember the expression on your face was priceless.” “It surprised me when you told me, your name was Don and to never call you doctor again.” Ernest said, "It sure didn’t take you long to decide you wanted the sick animals, and I could have the healthy ones until we found homes for them. Was that your original plan?” “Oh, no, when I saw you with the injured dog, I knew at once, we could work together, and the stories around town about you were bullshit,” he said, as the phone rang. “Dr. Kelley, my I help you,” answering the phone, he said. “What’s wrong with Fluffy today?” “Sure, I’ll come by after work. It will not be necessary to bring Fluffy to the

“I leave on Satur-”, the conversation came to an abrupt halt as the golden puppy bolted into the room catching everyone off guard. The puppy went straight to the one person who was well-known to give the best belly rubs, my dziadzia. His aged hands slowly reached down and pat the puppy. His rosy cheeks lit up with joy as the puppy rolled on his back. Dziadzia’s wrinkles by his eyes grew bigger and his pearly white teeth made an appearance. He adjusted his brown rimmed glasses from the tip of his nose to the top and proceeded with his conversation, “my flight leaves on Saturday at 7:30 am”. As my mom and dziadzia talked about his upcoming honor flight, I sat there, observing him. I never genuinely took a moment to think about the little things
Awkward. It is difficult to act when she’s around. He finds it difficult to breathe, difficult to think, difficult to move a single muscle. The point is that: he does not want to find himself under her scrutiny. Consequently, his frustration is bound to be never-ending. But why should he feel awkward in the first place? Why should he stress about this? She’s clearly the one at fault for having the audacity to still be the most beautiful girl that he knows, even after breaking his heart.
Yes, this one of the few parts of the days I have freedom! It was time to go potty! Prancing out of the room, I saw my competion for love. The other dog living in this house. He is like triple my age and since nobody can resist an adorable puppy like me, it’s no sweat. Wilbur is easy to overpower and control because he waddles everywhere since he is super chubby.
“Take that dog back wherever you picked it up from”, my mother yelled across the front yard. “No, it’s hungry, you can see his ribs,” 7yr old me replied in sorrow. Mother rolled her eyes at me and made a hand movement, agreeing to let the dog in the front porch, because she was already used to it. Yet again she reminded me, that I was only going to feed it and not keep it. I looked at her in grief as if I wanted to cry, and she didn’t budge and walked inside. “Stay here”, I told the dog, as if he knew what I was saying he sat there. I ran inside and grabbed some steamed carrots and broccoli mother had cooked, I mashed them into little pieces and put in onto a paper plate.
