I just got a dog named Scarlett! She is a Labrador. She
brings so much joy into my life and helps me not to be so bored anymore.
Scarlett keeps me so busy and is a great way for me to stop thinking about
rubbish all the time and do something fun. I used to feel so lonely and bored.
But now, I’m too busy to give a thought! I get lots more exercise with Scarlett.
One evening I was talking to my roommate that how dogs
are! Our discussion on this went till few days. One night I started telling him
about our neighbor’s dog and suddenly he said, “Damn, I need a Pet.”
I replied; Let go and see some good breed. He agreed.
On the Pet shop I found Black little cute puppy and I
immediately told my friend to book this one. She connected very well with me.
The minute I saw her, I knew she was the one. Once I held her, I knew she would
be mine.
We had to pay for her shot that’s all. We instantly named
her "Scarlett." She already felt like a good friend! Now, I had my
very own dog and my very own responsibility.
We teach her to go to the bathroom outside. She would
wake me up really early by her light barking voice at the foot of my bed so I
had to get up and let her outside. Then she climbed back to bed and snuggled
with me. She is so warm and cozy and we both fell back fast asleep.
Now Scarlett is all growing up. We play outside or on
terrace. I make sure Scarlett goes for walks and that's a great way to make
sure that I go for walks too. So, we both win! Scarlett gets walk and so do I.
I make sure she gets lots of water when we come back, just like I do.
Scarlett loves to eat any kind of food that comes from a
noisy bag. You can even put regular dog food in a rattly bag and she thinks it
is a treat. As she is growing she needs more food. I learned from the
veterinarian what to feed her and how much so I don't over feed her. Dogs are
like people, they need the right amount of food and exercise to be healthy.
This helps me to learn more about watching what I eat and to eat only when I am
hungry.
Scarlett learns some tricks. She likes to play and run a
lot. I try to teach her few tricks. She sometimes does it right and when she
doesn't, I have to remember, she is only a pup. I give her extra hugs for
rewards when she does a trick, not food. That way I don't over feed him.
Having Scarlett makes me feel needed and loved. I would
recommend getting a pet if you are nice to them. A pet can fill up your day
with lots of activity and keeps you healthier by exercising more. I feel better
now and I'm just happier. I think about getting healthier and enjoying my new
friend. I hope you like my story.
Note: They are our friends. They entertain us, keep us
company, play with us, protect us, serve us and, in turn, they rely on us. They
are loyal, caring, funny, mischievous, stubborn, adventurous, independent,
athletic or maybe just lovable couch potatoes. They come in all shapes and
sizes. And they are an endless source of stories. Simple stories of humor, of
bravery, of caring or just of little slices of life.
If you've spent any time around dogs, you must have some
stories to share and perhaps a few photos as well.
