your pet will die.

People says a dogs a mans best friend, and while a dog is just a part of your life, you are a dog's whole life. I believe both of these are true. I have a 4 year old Bernese mountain dog. It took a long time to convince my parents that we needed a dog, because they believed that we would eventually stop paying it attention. But, after years of begging, they finally agreed to get us two big bernese mountain dogs. We named the dogs Cooper and Biscuit. The two dogs were brothers with contradicting personalities. Biscuit was a adventure enthusiast to say the least. He was always looking for a way to make a mess, no matter where he was. Biscuit loved to meet other dogs or go running in the mud. Cooper, on the other hand, had no interest whatsoever in interacting with other dogs. In fact, most dogs terrified him. Whenever other dogs bark, he tries to hide behind you not realizing he is triple your size. He prefers to play with small cats and other animals. Cooper's favorite thing to do is sit on people's lap, cuddle, and eat socks. Though the two dogs were polar opposites, they still loved each other. Biscuit would always run away, finding hidden creeks and visiting other people’s houses. Eventually, when cooper developed the confidence too, he would trail biscuit. This became practically an everyday event. We would have to drive to our neighbors house, where he would stash away the two mischievous puppies in the backyard. Our parents soon realized that this was to much to handle alongside four kids, so we had to give away Biscuit to some family friend’s who were looking for a dog. Giving away biscuit was very hard for all of us, but i now know that it was the right thing to do.

I also have had many cats. Our first cat was named smokey, he was a small grey cat. We named her Smokey because he looked like he was covered in ash. Smokey was very skittish, and did not like to be touched. Eventually, we realised that Smokey seemed to have lost her appetite, and wouldn't do anything all day. We were told this is because he was feeling extremely lonely, and due to he fear of people wasn't much we could do. So, we got Smokey a brother. This seemed to cheer her up immediately. Our new cat was a fat, cross-eyed, siamese. We named this fat cat marshmellow, because he looked like one. All was going well, until one day we couldn't find smokey. This worried all of us, because we knew he could have easily been attacked by coyotes. After looking around for a little while, we found him stuck in the pond. he had been there all night, and was soaked. He had fallen unconscious. We took her to the vet right away, where they told us he had had a heart attack. Sadly, he passed away. We had once had 4 pets, and were now down to only 2. Losing two animals that i had loved so much was the hardest part of owning a pet. When you get a pet, just know that it is gonna die one day
