Personal Narrative: What Good Dogs Do

And on our way home, she almost peed in the backseat of the car because she was so scared. However, when we finally got home, she was overjoyed that she finally had a good home where she would be loved forever. Not only by six humans, but by three other animals including, two cats and one other dog named bella, tiger, my two cats, and libby, the other dog. She had to go right into the backyard because we were worried about how she would act around the other animals. But when she smelled Libby’s breath on the toys she busted through the screen door and she licked all of the animals until they looked like they swam in a pool.

Most dogs can act very unpredictable, especially in new surroundings and just like the author of the second article wrote, "some

Yale is a wonderfully unique and supportive place filled with brilliant, interesting, and fun people. From reading numerous blog posts from the Bulldogs' Blogs, everyone seems so passionate on what they intend to do and I want the same. The Bulldog's Blogs blog post, ""What's Cultural Representation?" a Shades Perspective," is what really intrigued me into applying. Yale is a place where I won't feel left because of my skin color since I come from a white-majorized city. Although I haven't attended a MOH, I imagine it to be an empowering and beautiful event. Overall, It would be a dream come true to get admitted and enter the halls of Yale.

make her be quite. The dog has also managed to follow us the whole time she started to lick

Instead she just laid there and let the dog chew her up like that. Not that I want her to fight, but I was so

“Oh, that’s just like my dog!” said Pat. “She’s always dreaming she’s chasing rabbits or something like that. She starts kicking and making little barking sounds; it’s the cutest thing. She’s only a terrier, but sometimes I swear she thinks she’s a mastiff.”

She saw it on TV for weeks, and she couldn’t wait to play with it. But she was disappointed to quickly find out that the puppy did not do all of the things she saw on TV. The puppy did not talk to her or sit down to tea parties or ask to go on long walks to the park.

It wasn't until Ashley pointed out a light down the road did we start to notice the sound of barking. I was so nervous that it was a guard dog to notice Abby escaping my grip. She was running to the light, hollering at the top of her lungs, 'puppy'.

She won’t run away, though because she knows we’re the people that feed her treats and food. Since Poppy knows my dad’s the boss, we thought that she only let him teach her to do tricks. My dad taught her to sit, lay, and shake. But I proved that theory wrong. One day I kept on rolling, and rolling, and rolling her over. Three days later I was going to give her a treat for going on a walk, so I said TREAT and she got so excited she rolled over! My dog is the #1 greeter in the world because every day my family and I get home from something, Poppy greets us at the door by wagging her tail really fast, barking and smiling at us. I once had a black cat named Schmitty, but when we had to put her down I was really heartbroken because I had lived with her her for my whole entire life. 2 years later on a Friday in March, little did I know that this would be the day we got the 2 years old bundle of love that made my life 100 percent better. My dog loves food better than anything, but cuddling with us is definitely a close second. She will bark at any person or dog walking by and personally I think she likes barking so loud that it almost shakes the house. Poppy absolutely hates it when people get into her face, even her

“BARK, BARK!” Dogs everywhere screeching at the top of their lungs like it’s the end of the world all hoping to be adopted by a loving family. This is the story of when I got my first pet, Landis. Landis is a lab pointer mix. We got him in October 2010, therefore I was about 5. My family rescued him from the Voorhees Animal Shelter. Landis was his name when we got him and my family and I decided not to change it. We were walking through the shelter and my sister, Rachel, saw his cute little face and exclaimed this is the one. We all agreed to get him and he’s been our dog ever since.

First, hears a question I’m wanting to ask you about your beloved pet. What is one of the most important things that you have learned from having this ball of fun in your life? Is it that the floor is just going to get dirty and you shouldn’t clean it regularly? I’m guessing not. I’d say that it was closer to what I learned. That you must have an amazing skill called patience, when working with your animal. Wouldn’t it be better to learn this through experience with an adorable creature? I had learned when I was teaching this bustling pooch anything from sitting before eating to not always jumping and barking with joy when someone new walks into the house. I couldn’t just tell her to do or not to do something. I would have to wait and tell her several times until she understood why she couldn’t do that. For example, Neveah couldn’t jump onto me in excitement when I had a large silver bowl of dog food since she couldn’t eat until I cleaned all the food up that she had made me spill when she jumped. We would both have to wait until she would sit before we could move on with her dinner and the rest of our day. Learning to wait and to be patient is important for anyone. That’s why I would suggest to everyone to get a pet and to learn as much as you can from

None of my dogs withhold affection when I don't immediately doing something they want to do at the moment. After a 12 hour shift on 4 hours sleep if I don't want to play catch once I get home, it's ok. The next day when i return home my dog will still be shaking her ass when she sees me. She won't for the next three days not respond or respond coldly when I call.

This happened a third time, and she stuck her give out and the canine quit yowling and came and licked her hand. She remained alert a couple of minutes a short time later and the puppy had quit whining. She backpedaled to rest once more.

Scarlet was a very playful and stubborn puppy. She loved to run and chase anything that would move, including her tail and the neighbor’s cat. Although, a very playful and stubborn dog Scarlet was undoubtedly a very intelligent animal as well. She was completely house trained in under a week and learned how to play fetch in two weeks. Occasionally of course her playfulness turned our games of fetch into games of me chasing her around the yard trying to get the tennis ball back.

She was gleeful. It was always harder to control her when I was distracted by emotion like this.
