Mr. Miles
For years and years, my parents stood firm in their beliefs of not getting a family dog. We are a bunch of busy bees to say the least, so they didn’t think we would have the time to train a puppy and watch over him or her. But then, all of a sudden, the world got put on pause, and we were all locked in our houses with nothing to do. That’s when a brilliant idea struck my sister and I, it was the perfect time to get the puppy we always dreamed of having.
As long as I can remember, my sister has always been begging for a dog. Every birthday, holiday, special occasion, she would always ask for one, but for every ask, it was always a firm no. This time was different; we teamed up and put fourth a convincing argument. The COVID situation was only getting worse, so there was no way we would be out of our houses any time soon. In addition, school had just gotten cancelled for the rest of the year. With so many convincing points, there was no way to deny the puppy this time. After years of hearing no, we finally got the yes!!
And so the hunt began, we spent days and days on end searching for the perfect dog. We found tons that we thought would be perfect, but unfortunately, we weren’t the only ones who thought it would be convenient to get a puppy during quarantine. After weeks of searching, we finally found the perfect one. He was a ginger cockapoo ready for an adventure.
On May 22nd, my dad, sister, and I picked him up from Lancaster. He was so cute and tiny. We decided to keep his original name, Miles. My mom had to work that day, but she couldn’t wait to meet him.
He was a little ray of sunshine and instantly lifted everyone’s spirits. For a while, we had become sick of being at home everyday doing nothing, but now we were dealing with our crazy little pup. I have countless stories and could go on and on about all the silly things he has done. There truly is never a dull moment with him. From chasing us around the house biting our ankles to sitting on top of the air conditioning vents to cool down after walks, he is quite a wild child, I wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world.

How cute! I didn't think that the lockdown would be the best time to get a pet, but you guys made it work! I hope you and your dog have many happy memories together!
ReplyDeleteAw, your dog is so cute! I am extremely happy for you that you were finally able to convince your parents to get you a dog. A dog is a lot more than just a pet, they provide a lot of comfort and love that is needed in families. I'm so glad that Miles is the newest addition to your home. He sure got an amazing family.
ReplyDeleteIt also took some time for my sisters and me to convince my parents to get a dog. When they finally agreed, it was so exciting! Miles is adorable. Dogs definitely bring a special light to many people's lives, especially in uncertain times like this.
