My Dog Skippy.

When I was little I loved animals. Although most children have pets, I could not convince my parents into allowing me to have one until my pre teens. I could not have been happier the day my family went to the pound and I picked out my dog Skippy. Skippy loved to run and he was loyal to me and I will never forget the day I lost him. My mom and I would take …

…see if Skippy was OK. Her friend said Skippy had run off and hadn't returned. Skippy never came back to that farm. I still think about my old dog from time to time. It's funny how attached you can get to animals. I felt Skippy was part of my family just as important as the other members. For a child that only had one pet I don't think I could have had a better friend.
