Never thought I would see myself getting pets so soon in life. Since I was little I would visit shelters and such just to see animals. Seeing an animal on their daily walk would cause me to melt. I told myself when the time is right I would know.
"I can't wait much longer" I told my dad while walking to my car after a long shift of work.
"Well dogs are big responsibilities if you feel like you are up for it go for it" his words echo in my head as I drove. I asked myself if i were to get a dog i would spoil it and give it all the love that I could. I pulled into the drive way wary of the loneliness that waits inside for me. I remember that night i was getting out of my car and it was dark. I was opening the door i felt like this presence behind me like someone watching. I turned around and there was a black figure running down the street. I was appalled to what look like a puppy running down the street in the cold. I placed my bags inside and walked down my driveway to get a closer look.
I remember saying to myself "no this can't be" this was a legit real black puppy running down the street. I was in such shock that I actually lost track of the puppy. I put food and water that night . I sat by window waiting for it come back. I paced back and forth waiting, hoping i would see it again.
I actually slept by the window that morning. I woke up and check out side the food was gone and the water was half gone. i was happy to see that it had came back so immediately i got ready and went to the nearest pet store with a mission. I brought toys, bed, food and leashes and a cage. I immediately set up a cage outside my door and i placed food inside with a blanket and waited. A couple hours went by, I was on the couch literally biting my nails. I was so anxious i would not eat.

Around 5:30 i heard this cry outside i jumped running to the window. I saw a black snout biting the door to the cage trying to get out. I wanted to cry right there and then. I called my dad immediately yelling "i got a dog! i got a dog !" i ran outside with tears in my eye and my bag of treats. I crouched down and it back away immediately shaking. i slowly pushed the treats through the cage. He was eyeing my move as if he was telling me he didn't trust me. Eventually he gave in to the food and started eating . That gave me a chance to look over his body. His ears were completely infected and he had a few injuries on his body .
I immediately called the family vet and took him there. I was worried when i first brought him because the last time i was here, the news i received for my family dog was not good at all. Throughout the whole process he was reassuring me that everything was looking good so far except for the fact that he was dehydrated, his paws were bruised and he had to get ears cut because there was no saving them. so he ended up staying the week.
It was actually hard for me for to go home but at the end of the week . I was there early in the morning. the vet had actually named him midnight because of his coat. i had planned to take him that same day. Turns out while he was there he had made some friends there during the week. Jacob (the first one )and AJ


The dog lover i am couldn't separate the group so adopt all three. Its safe to say that i am full house dog lover now. They have changed me in more ways than i can imagine. I wouldn't trade them for the world. Plus i get to spoil them so that's a bonus for me. My partners in crime.
