My love for Nova

I had dogs growing up but never have been a pet lover. It was not until I was older and in a relationship I did not want to be in anymore that I found out that a dog can be your best friend. My mate at the time and her sister came over to our house and gave me a male dog.I named him Nova. He was so independent so I was turned off by that real quick. I opened the front door and he jetted towards the front yard so I went in the house. He would come back to go in the back yard and eat. Then I do not know what made him want to come in the house but i let him in and he made himself welcome sniffing all around and then he jumped on my lap and from that moment on we had a bond. My mate at the time had her dog and her step daughters dog in the backyard and when I would let Nova in the back yard they would not let him eat and bully him and i would hear him bark and howl. I would hop up and go help him by letting him in the house and he would look back at the other dogs as if he were saying ha ha my owner let me in. Well I had to move and I could not take him where I moved to and I had a hateful and mean person I knew watch him at the time. I did not know that she was like that however I found out when I went back to get Nova to find out she let him go and he was no where to be found. I cried I do not know how many nights and I said I would never get another pet or get attached to another animal again as long as I lived. Well last year I kept telling my friend I wanted a puppy and she was like no Leslie you remember what happened last time. I ignored her and I searched high and low for someone that had puppies for sale. I asked everyone and nobody knew where to get a puppy from. Then my friend that I called nephew came over and I asked him and he said his friend had some puppies. I called her and now I have my baby his name is Boss and his name matches his personality. He gets mad if I am on the phone late at night and I better not pet or talk baby talk to another dog he goes off and will try to fight the dog. I never thought I would get so attached to another pet after what happened with Nova. I have to have a babysitter when I am going to be gone all day or overnight because he can not be home alone. I treat him just like he was my child. I wake up and make him oatmeal and toast in the morning and he gets a good dinner and yes he does get punished if he is bad and they hardly happens. I do not think I could ever live my life without Boss he loves me and is excited to see me no matter what now that is unconditional love for you. I could not ever be without a dog now. They make life better.
