My Dog

I was thinking the other day and I as thinking of what it would be like if I was in my dog, Rascal’s shoes. This is how I see my dog’s life and how he- as a dog- lives. My dog rascal has inspired me to think like him and the way he sleeps, looks and how he is aware of the people around him. My thoughts about being him take place when I got my little dog Nani and how she entered the family. This is me telling you about how I think my dog would tell this event. Christmas time was coming up and my dad had promised me a puppy because I was very mad at him for making my family move from Singapore to Australia. 2 days after a grate Christmas with my family I heard a knock at the door and sure enough… a new puppy.

It was all a blur; I couldn’t see anything as my eyes filled with tears. I rascal-the dog they had for 5 years- was being replaced. I can’t remember much only the sound and smell of the rain out side and the bright blue Honda that drove up our driveway. Little did I know that in that blue car was a tiny dog the size of my dog dish. The sound of my paws hitting against the wooden floors tickled my ears as began to approach her. At first I didn’t know what to do with her. All she did was sleep. I remember when they (my family) bought me. I was so happy and so young. I guess the magic faded away because know I am old and they obviously don’t see me the way they used to. When she wakes up in the morning she gets a bowl of food and a long walk around the neighborhood. When she gets home she eats more food and gets more pets. When I wake up I get a bowl of dog food and no pets. My walk is boring as they don’t have any enthusiasm and they don’t smile. When I get home I don’t eat more and they don’t play with me. She is so lucky she actually get to see their faces, all I see is the back of there heads ready to run back to her and just watch her sleep. She has grown up now and her love for chasing the birds is as bright as the love for our family. She will just never know how much she was praised and pampered. I think she will forever and always be a spoiled dog. But I love her, she is like my little sister and at the end of the day I am glad to have someone to share my last barks with before I go to sleep.

Okay, okay. I know what you are thinking. I abandon my dog just for the comfort of my new one, but things have changed now and I love them both, but each in a different way. My dogs are like my best friends and I could not live without them.
