The First Day

So for my 20% time, I am going to be journaling about my dog (Shasta) for my project. Like in the book, Marley and Me, I have been inspired by the main actor/character in the book/movie. So for the next couple of weeks, I am going to be journaling about her telling stories about her life or the different things she does. So for instance, in the next paragraph, is a story about her when we had first gotten her.

The first day we brought Shasta home, we couldn't believe how big she was. She was already three months old when we got her; she was born October 29th, 2010. It was a Saturday when we got her, and I still remember the feeling I had when I saw her for the first time. I fell instantly in love with her. Her ears were floppy at the time because she was still just a puppy, and so the muscles in the ears had a hard time keeping them up, but I didn't care. Her eyes were ice blue, and huge! She looked at me, at first with curiosity, then with a type of trust that can only happen between an owner and his dog. She snuggled up on the way home and it was a moment I will cherish forever. Her love was and is unconditional and has in some way, shape, or form has changed not just me, but my family as well. It’s funny how a chubby, little, ball of black and white fur, could bring so much joy and laughter into someone’s life.

So everything is going well, and I cannot wait to tell you more about Shasta and the different things she has done. I will also be posting pictures of her soon, so everyone can see her.
