Getting My First Puppy When I woke up this morning I thought it was just going to be an ordinary day. Boy was I wrong, what happened today will change my life forever… I walked groggily out of my room to the kitchen, as I do most Saturday mornings in the summer. Made myself some coffee, and dug through the cabinet looking for something to eat for breakfast. I eventually just decide on normal basic cereal. After finishing my breakfast, I find that my dad has left me and my sister a note on the counter. So I call my sister in the kitchen and we read it together, it basically says that we have some chores to do before we can go swimming at my uncle's house, but at the end of the note it said that if we do as we are told we will get a surprise. I try to get my chores done as fast as I can so that we can leave as soon as possible to be able to swim for the maximum amount of time. Then I put my swimsuit on and some clothes over them. …show more content…

As I'm sitting in the car waiting for my dad to get done with the groceries all I can think about is how excited I am to swim. Eventually my dad comes back to the car and we are off to my uncle's house. We jam out to some country music, as we are approaching the house I'm getting more and more excited by the second. I´ve loved to swim ever since I learned how. Nevertheless I can't stop thinking about what the surprise was that my dad hinted about on the note. So I asked him about it, but he told me that he couldn't tell me because that would ruin the surprise, I hate surprises and he knew that so he was doing to on purpose to mess with me. It worked for a second, but I wasn't going to let that ruin my mood about swimming. Shortly we pull onto their road and

    When I walked inside the front door something didn’t seem right. The feeling of sorrow overwhelmed the house. It was so thick I could literally feel it in the air. Everyone was motionless. They were sulking;I was befuddled. The most energetic people in the world, doing absolutely nothing. I repeatedly asked them what was wrong. After an hour or so, my dad pulled me aside. He said that my Aunt Feli had passed away last night. My mind went for a loop, I was so confused. I thought that he was joking, so I replied “You’re lying, don’t mess with me like that.” and punched his shoulder softly while I chuckled. My dad quickly started tearing up and said, “There...

  • Personal Narrative Essay: Paw

    “That’ll do this batch, Paw.” Announced Earl as he tightened the lid on the last jug of shine for the night’s run. As he added it to the others in the back of his beat up Ford pickup, he glanced over at his sleeping dad haphazardly leaned up against an oak tree, his chest rumbling with a drunken snore. All too often, this was the way their nights played out; Earl would work the stills while Paw would drink until he passed out, leaving him to finish up for the night, but he never complained to his father; he understood what led to his Paw’s nightly search for the bottom of that mason jar. As he climbed into the back of the truck to make sure the delivery was covered and tied down, safe and secure, Earl considered how important this particular run was, the moneys raised that night would be used to pay the land taxes, thus protecting both their homes and their main income, these stills for the next year.

    Bam! My door swung open so hard it smacked the wall behind me. My mom stormed in my room like a little kid on christmas. Before I could even open my mouth and ask her why. She asked, “What would you think of getting a new baby brother?” I really was confused. She had told me just last week that she wasn’t able to have babies anymore. I replied, “Wait.. so does this mean that your tummy started working again?” My mom laughed and told me that we would try to adopt a baby who needed a new home. “I thought you could only adopt dogs?", I said. We had adopted my dog, Brady, for my 7th birthday just six months earlier and I always called him my brother because I wanted one so badly. She told me that sometimes mommies put their kids up for adoption so that they can have better homes. I didn’t even know that was legal! I had so many questions. I tried asking all of them but all she would say is that we would have a family discussion tonight at dinner.

  • A Day at the Lake

    The grass was soft and green, reserved for those who wanted to lie down or sit. A sweet aroma of flowers overflowed near by like s shinning light, but was hidden by the untrimmed bushes and wildly growing trees. Up above me was the beautiful, high noon blue sky spotted with fluffy, white clouds and airplanes flying by. I emerged into the parking lot and stopped happily as a squirrel under a tree. Hesitating to proceed anywhere further I took a few minutes to treasure the moment of silence and peace. As my girlfriend and I got out of the car to get ready for the picnic, she happened to be distracted by the water; a rhythmic ongoing resemblance of rhythm in her heart. The water was clam and beautiful in every aspect. To me she was like a wave, never stooping to catch attention or go unnoticed. Before doing anything else, we began setting up the picnic. By the time we ware done, her temptation was unbearable and was finally unable to overcome it, consequently she eagerly ran towards the water pulling me right behind her. Each step was like an imprint in my heart, a fossil that would always remain the same and special inside me forever.

I was really scared of her when I first saw her because she was a big dog and all the pets we have at home are small so I wasn’t used to her size. She didn’t bark at me she just wanted to jump on me and always smell me. After awhile I would pet her more and more and then I wouldn’t mind her being all up on me. When you first look at her she looks kind of silly because her bottom teeth just stick out. I don’t know what kind of dog she is but I love the way her fur looks. Junior didn’t come along till later, Anthony’s mom bought junior from a friend and he is a smoky grey Pitbull. They got junior before they moved houses so he was still a baby. Now he is 5 months. A week ago he got out of the gate and he was lost for about two days but then we found him thankfully. Junior likes napping with Anthony’s mom, he loves eating fruit loops and he loves Pattycake.
