I love my dog, but there is only so much you can handle before you don’t want to deal with it anymore. It’s like listening to a song that you love, only to begin hearing it wherever you go, and you don’t want to

listen to it anymore because it’s become annoying. It all started with the day my mother brought the puppy home; a small, all black pomchi and chihuahua mix, we decided to name her Osa. I played with her all day long, excited to have a new puppy in the family. It began to feel like a norm in everyday life. However that norm began to include things that puppies do, such as using any space she likes in the house as a bathroom, trying to eat anything she “My dog comes to play rehearsals and sits in the folding chairs to watch.” - Chiara Powers. can find, knaw on wires and couches, and whine every time nobody gave her attention. However the worst part is whenever my mother isn't around, the puppy goes ballistic, starts frantically running around the house, never sitting still Second Place Winner for more than two seconds, and whines and barks as high pitched as she can. My mother once left for work for the Bear evening, leaving me alone with the puppy for about 3 hours, and since then, I no longer think of puppies the same. This process of raising a puppy has been torture filled, however as the puppy grows up, she has began to learn more and calm down, becoming less frantic and much

more fun to be around considering she has been trained more. However I will forever be scarred by the amount of trouble a puppy can cause, and never again will I be able to see puppies the same way, and that can go for anyone who has raised one. So to anyone who is planning on getting a puppy, be prepared, it’s no easy road. You will have to deal with a tiny machine of trouble, however, it will be worth it in the end as you watch them grow up and become loving dogs.

Once she has calmed down, she is much easier to deal with. She sort of looks like a fruit bat. “My dog bear [does] a funny thing [...] he will ram his head into the cabinet whenever he's hungry.” - Jazzmin Serrano
