Personal Narrative: Fur Babies

We have two pets, both dogs. One is a Yellow Lab, his name is Bruiser. Bruiser and my husband love to duck hunt together. The other one is a Chinese Crested Powder Puff named Cashew. Cashew is a rescue dog and extremely lovable.

I got my very first animal in September of 2009. It was a dog and we named him Buddy. I walking into shelter trying to find the right dog to bring home. I was so excited to get my first dog! Thinking which one is going to be the one. When we walked in all we could here was barking. Walking by cages of cute puppies, then we found just the right one, Buddy!

Two years ago, I adopted a dog. Barkley was a gift for my daughter, but he has become a big part of my life as well. Barkley is a long-haired chihuahua, just under 9 pounds. Even though he is small, he has stolen a big part of my heart. Having this little dog in the house has filled my life with companionship, unconditional love, and gives my daughter and me something to bond over.

We called him Tank. He was just sent to the Fort Myers ASPCA from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was alone and homeless after the Hurricane Katrina destroyed his hope for a future. It was fate that he was meant to be with our family. Seeing all of the good that was done to get my new puppy a forever home struck a place in my heart and made me appreciate all of the awesome work that this organization has done, not only for my dog, Tank, but also for the millions of other animals desperate for a better future. This is why I chose to feature the ASPCA and the many things that they do to make a difference in our world

Many pets have come and gone throughout my childhood; some were memorable and some were not. Two of my pets, cats Blanca and Onyx, were by far the most memorable furballs to paint my world a brighter shade of red. Never have I seen two cats so uniquely different from one another. Blanca and Onyx were both cats, but they were like night and day. They were a contrasting pair that impacted my life in different, but equally strong ways.

I remember the weekend we first got Jenna like it was yesterday. I had been begging for a dog for a million years and my mom finally let me get one. Don’t tell Jenna this, but she wasn’t my first pick for a dog. Actually, I never even thought I’d get her.

Passaic, New Jersey (February 12, 2016)-Recent study has shown that by having a pet companion can make any person happy by boosting trust, relieving stress, and improving hormone levels. Sharil Orellana (CEO and company founder), Buddy Orellana (CEO Assistant), and Ariana Grande (Company’s Planner) have decided to give owners and their pets an extra helping set of hands.

My mom convinced him the circumstances would only be for a few months. Despite my dad 's hope in this temporary adoption,16 years later, we still had Belle! Named after a Disney movie 's princess, our cat, Belle! was far from princess-like. She made Garfield look compassionate.

My pug Milo. Milo is super soft after he gets his bath. He has had two accidents in PetCo,and the workers only said how cute he was and it happens all the time. The first day I got him he scratched up the shirt I was wearing that day. He is the most playful puppy I have ever seen.

Late one evening when I finished my plate of spaghetti and meatballs, my dad asked me which cat, out of Oscar and Moses, I loved the most. This was a very hard and difficult question that will take a lot of time to answer. I have two lovable cats. Oscar, one of the cats, is a big, fat, orange cat that has a lot of energy. Moses, the other cat, is a small, skinny, black, cat that acts more reserved. Both of my cats may be different when it comes to hygiene, appetite, and companionship, but their unique traits are what makes them so important to me.

I spent the morning digging through voluminous Intelligence reports, mapping our antagonists activities, trying to make sense of the disjointed data. If there was a pattern, I failed at finding it. It was clear that we did not yet have all the puzzle pieces. Was that what Dr. Mathes had meant? “The job's not done,” she had said. I have been feeling clueless, powerless and frustrated, demanding to do something tangible.

Throughout life I have experienced numerous events that have shaped me into becoming the person I am to this day. Out of all these events, my adoption has been the most significant and life changing event of my life. Two weeks before my first birthday in, I was adopted from Nanchang, China. As I grew up, my parents never once tried to conceal my adoption. Without them, I believe I would have grown to be a totally different person. Although I was adopted and brought in by my adoptive parents, I see myself in the everyday. I see them as nothing less than my real parents and I aspire to be as generous and compassionate as they are. Without them, I would have never been able to experience half of the life changing events I have gone through. As

My baby cousin was abandoned by her parents in California when she was six weeks old. Two years later she became my baby sister. This happened after my parents decided to adopt her. The process took longer than expected. I’m happy that things turned out like they did.

Two years ago I got a job at an animal shelter, I was eighteen and needed money. What I didn’t know, is that through this job, I would find something that takes more money than I earn, but is completely worth it. His name is Jerry, he is an Irish Wolfhound.

When I was twenty-two years old, I answered an advertisement in the paper for free Labrador puppies. Driving up to the house, I saw all the little critters running around and having a ball of a time. I got into the pen with the pups, and finally decided on the shy runt who spent the majority of his time hiding under a board. I loved his personality and instantly
