My Dog
One day in 2010 I was brave enough to adopt a pet. I remember when I walked into the shelter it was really funky because of all the different animal scents but I wasn’t going to let a smell stop me from what I came for. After walking up the first 3 isles I couldn’t find any dog that I really wanted until I walked down the last isle last cage and saw the most beautiful dog in the world a black golden retriever mixed and lab with a white belly. When she looked into my eyes I knew I had to take her home so I did.
Her name was Sasha but called her sha-sha for short, she got uses to that name really quick. Whenever you call her she would run to you and turn around and shake her butt because she didn’t have a tail they chopped it off for some reason but that was her favorite thing to do. She also loved to jump up on two legs and lick on my arm and face but she wasn’t always this loving she was very shy and depress but I am happy she broke out of that stage. Sasha was a very unique and weird dog but I loved her to death.
You know when you first get a dog the first couple of weeks you walk the dog and don’t want them to go anywhere but after a while you let them run around on their own well I was the opposite, sha- sha didn’t like to be tied down I knew that when I adopted her. So one day I took her off her leash and she took off I was so scared because I didn’t know if she was coming back home, 30 minutes later she was back and at that point when she came back I knew she knew where home was.
They day she got hit my heart almost failed. Normally when I let her loose she usually runs around the neighborhood with dog next door but not that day she had other plans. When I took her off the leash she took off and at the moment I felt something was going to go wrong and it did. As she sprinted around the corner she has an encounter with a car. I guess the car didn’t have enough time to stop because you could hear the brakes screech and Sasha scream. I ran around the corner and there she was with a broken leg” thank god” is what I shouted I was so blessed that she wasn’t dead. I picked her up and took her in the house to wrap her leg and since it was a Saturday afternoon I had to wait a whole day to take her to a vet. Monday came I just ended up taking her back to the shelter cause I didn’t have the money for a vet. Letting her go was the hardest thing to do but at least I knew she would get the help she needed.
The love I had for Sasha was unconditional she was my first pet I ever had I missed all the great times we had together and I wish she didn’t have to go back to the shelter. Even the dog from next door still comes to my house to see if she came back. Some days I would drive up in the drive way and call her name but after a second I realize she’s not there anymore or I would go outside and wait for her to run to me turn around and wag her butt then reality hits. Whoever adopts her next I hope they treat her kind because she is a great dog who just needs love.

    When I was around four years old, we got our very first dog. I can remember driving to the breeders house. I was very excited to be getting a dog. When we got to their house, it was very small. My parents talked to the breeder for what felt like ages. We finally got to see all of the dogs that they had. The room that the puppies were in had a crib, and dog beds. I saw some very, very little puppys, I really wanted them all. The one that we chose, was hiding under the crib. We named him Poncho after the parent's name.…

    When Grendel fights Beowulf, the reader learns that the monster’s “time had come,” and he will soon die. What does this idea say about the Danish belief in fate? Write a short essay in which you show how the belief in destiny influences the thoughts and actions of the characters. Provide several other examples from Beowulf to support your position.I think Grendel would go back to Herot and want revenge. He would want to kill Beowulf for trying to kill him. Grendel would not like the fact the someone tried to stop him because he had been going to the hall for 12 years and no one could stop him.He would want to kill more Danes. Grendel is a monster and he expects people to be afraid of him and he wouldnt like it that Beowulf isn's scared.The best answer choice is B, becuase he drove alot of pain and suffering away when he had his battle with Grendel, because then the people didnt have to deal with Grendel going to the hall and killing people.When Grendel fights Beowulf, the reader learns that the monster’s “time had come,” and he will soon die.

    I am the proud owner of a little brown dog named Bruno. I rescued him from the pound while I was in high school. The pound was unsure exactly what kind of dog Bruno was, but stated he is part Dachshund. I mentioned earlier, I rescued Bruno, but in reality he rescued me. My senior year of high school was not the greatest time for me, but owning Bruno got me through it. At the time, I just broke up with my high school “sweetheart” so to my immature young mind, I thought the world was coming to an end and I would never find someone else. Whether it was taking Bruno for walks, or trying to teach him new tricks he kept my mind occupied. I was given the responsibility to take care of him. I made sure he had all of his shots and there was fresh food and water for him. Until he was house broken, I was responsible to clean up after him. By being responsible for another being, it keeps a person centered not always thinking about themselves and their needs.…

    In el salvador there are more stray dogs than people in certain places and its a house rule that you dont feed or pet them no matter the reason or how scrawny or near death they may be. My grandmother the one who made this rule, was the first to break it. My grandmother was born in bloomington indiana into an alcholic family both my great grandmother and grandfather were alcholics for most of their lives and so are most of of their children now, up until 2012 my grandmother was an alcholic and for most of my child hood I dont have good memories of her but while I was in el salvador the grandmothe I had always hoped for returned. When I was little and my mother left to adopt my siblings in ukraine my grandmother stayed with us for months at a time and I do not remember these times fondly my grandmother was still a drunk and extremly abusive this was 7 years ago and after this happened I didnt see my frandmother for many years almost 3 or 4. until my grandmother stopped drinking but even then it still wasnt like what I saw when my granparents retired to el salvador. For the first time in my life my grandmother was kind and caring to the best of her ability which is astonishing considering shes bi polar and legally crazy, its not a short stretch to say that for the first time I saw her as a human being and not the demented being she once was. This changed me but it wasnt nearly as much as when she had me feed a starving puppy one day, I didnt know when I fed this dog that hed eventually become “my dog “ but it felt good to try and help him. I learned the back story to this dog a few hours after he left, it turns out his former “owners” kept him tied to a tree 24/7 and didnt feed him so that he…

    My first dog was a disaster. I’d gotten a Shih-Tzu as a seventh birthday present. She forewent obedience training and socialization. I didn’t walk her, didn’t clean up after her, and spoiled her rotten. Literally. It was unsurprising years later when she’d nipped at people unprovoked or would race around the house in a dizzying state, knocking vases off stands and knocking over unsteady chairs. Though on occasion, I found humor in her badness. The most hilarious incident being…
