If your not loving them your to busy judging them. Your childhood pet is very important and you dont realize that until its gone. Death it happens to everyone and everything.So as you know dogs go through it to.I know its very sad and we can not stop it from happening. My name is Gabe i'am 10 years old and growing up to an abusive mother named maradith.My mom she would always hit me with whatever is in her hand or whatever's the closest object to her. She would also yell at me for no reason when she got home from wherever she was.She always use to tell me I was mistake and I never understood why.I was never able to talk to her about anything because she would always tell me to shut up because I sound stupid or sometimes she would slap me across the face and then tell me to go to my room.I had so many things I wanted to talk about but I had nobody to tell any of my stories to.

The next day going to school I waved my mom goodbye and I could remember hearing her say "just get out of face". I was not surprised at all because thats the way she always talks to me. By lunch time I was hungry and it was monday so they always gave chicken nuggets,and those were my favorite. While I was sitting at the lunch table eating I herd my friends talking about when they got there first dog and how awesome smart,and overprotecting they are so I thought why not ask my mom for one.That day when I got home I walked inside the house to see my mom with bottles in her hand laying down on the couch.I was to nervous to ask her about going down to the dog shelter because she looked like she was drunk.So I went to my room and waiting a couple of hours.A few hours went by and I went to ask my mom to about taking me down to the shelter to get a dog.

"mom can I ask you something"

"what do you want" said maradith

"I was thinking if you can take me down to the shelter to get a dog,I promise i'll take care of the dog its like you won't even know its here please mom" said Gabe repeatably

maradith looked at Gabe for a few seconds with anger in her eyes.

"A dog Gabe?Are you seriously asking me that right now?what you want a dog for?You dont need no dog now go to your room before I throw this bottle at your face,I dont want you coming to me with this bullshit again, YOU HEAR ME ! "

I went back to my room and started to cry.I should of known she would of said something like that to me.Theres times that I wish I grew up with different parents.One who will love me like never before.I never met my dad,my mom tells me hes dead because of me, but deep down I know that is not true.On my way to school I see parents taking their children to school and giving them hugs goodbye and kisses on the cheeks.I never got that, but I wish my mom could love me just like every child I see getting love from their parents.One day on my way to school I also wish I could find a dog that I could love and will love me back no matter what.
