Pets

Pets are best friends.  In my case I'm not talking about cats or fish, I'm talking about my dog.  My dog Junior is almost seven years old now and I've had him since he was just a puppy.  Originally, we had gotten his brother and sister but they died the night we brought them home.  As it turns out, the litter he was born in had some sickness they contracted from their mother.  We got Junior the next day; he was the last puppy left.  He was a mix of cocker spaniel and some sort of terrier.  I couldn't help but get attached to him, even though I didn't know how long he would live.  Well, almost seven years later, here we are. 

I've had a lot of pets in my life, but Junior is by far the best one ever.  He's house trained, he listens, and he's just a loving dog.  I can't help but think now though that he could leave me at anytime.  Watching the movie Marley & Me made me really think about it.  I don't know what I would do if I lost Junior.  He's part of the family.  We almost gave him away when we moved to Conway, but I'm glad we didn't. 

As far as best friends go, Junior is one of them.  He might not be able to give me advice, but he does know how to comfort me when I've had a bad day.  He can tell when I'm sad and when I'm scared.  I love my dog.
