My first dog

Gunner is my two year old chocolate lab.I got Gunner from my ex-boyfriend my sophomore year at Ole Miss. I was so excited to get this dog. I had his food and kennel bought before i even got the dog. We were so happy to bring him home. I took him to the lake, he loved the water. He also go all dirty and rolled in the mud. Gunner got to live in the fraternity house with my boyfriend of that time and his female lab. He had the best life a dog could have. My parents were not to happy when they found out i got a dog. My roommate and i both had big dogs. I love my lab. He is was a good puppy. I never thought about giving him away till the other week, when he chewed my car seat. I walked outside to my car to let my dog out and there was a hole in my seat. I told my parents i had to find a home for Gunner. They were ok with my choice. We found a home for him in a different state. The reality started to set in, i could not give my dog away. He does nothing but keep wattch over me and my house. He is in love with me. He will give me a hug and has to be close to me all the time. I started to cry and told my mom, i was going to keep Gunner. After i thoguht about it, i was not giving Gunner up to anyone. He means more to me then i thought, he is my world. Everyday I wake up, and am so happy i still have my baby. He is like my best friend! He is always there for me to talk to if i need anything. I love my chocolate lab.

  2. This reminds me of my first pet. It was the cutest little kitten. Within the first week he clawed a huge slit in my mothers leather jacket and that was the end of him. We had to give him away. Sad. =(
