About my dog named "JC"

Since I was a little girl I love dogs and puppies. They are the wonderful animals in the world that stay very close and faithful to their owners.  I received my puppy when I was 8 years old.  My parents promised me if I get grade A they will buy me a puppy so I worked hard and got an A in the whole class so they were proud of me and bought me a puppy.

My parents brought me to the place where I could choose my own puppy. That day I was so exciting about having a puppy. When I arrived there I saw so many puppies that wanted me to choose them. In the group of puppies I saw my shiny brown puppy who came to my foot and bit my toes. I picked her up and she looked so adorable. I could see from her face that one day she was going to be a very loyal dog for me.

I brought her back to my home after I chose her. She was a very tiny puppy and in my country the weather is very hot and at night it is dark so my parents worried about the puppy and decided to take it back to the place where I got it from for a while. I didn’t want to do that but I had to, so I let my parents do it. She is a mixed breed of Jack Russell terrier and Cavalier Kings Charles Spaniel.

I named her JC because she is always jumpy and bouncy just like a jelly and very cute so I gave her JC. One week later my parents brought her to our home in the afternoon. As soon as she got out from the car she came to me and licked my toes and my face. She knew me already. She was a very playful puppy as she is very young. She never liked to be left alone in the house but if we had to she understood and stayed quietly at home. She understood human beings very well. She became a member of our family.

She loved to come with us for a ride in the car. I still remembered how she stood up near the window and her head was out and she loved to stay like that anytime we took her for a ride with us. She just loved us a lot and she never liked us to leave her. One day she got pregnant with a Pug and we took extra care for her to be healthy all the time. Even though she got pregnant she never cared for herself and always came into my bedroom and slept.  A few weeks later she had a litter of puppies of her own. Her puppies were so adorable just like her. We decided to keep one for her and sold the other puppies to a good home.

Her daughter’s name was Punkey because she got a penguin sign wrinkle on her forehead.  My JC didn’t care about her own daughter after 8 weeks of the puppy’s age. She kept coming into my room and wanted to sleep with me. She didn’t care even though her daughter was crying because she didn’t’ stay with her. She just loves human beings. She always needed attention from us. Her daughter is totally different with her. She didn’t really like to cuddle to her, to be picked up or kissed by her.

JC was so jealous of her daughter because we took care of her daughter like how we did when she was young so she didn’t like it. She only wanted us to take care of her. When we left both alone at home her daughter didn’t mind but she kept crying, barking. We made both of them used to it and they both got used to it and fine at the end of the day.

One day we left both of them in our big garden and planned to go out in the car. JC she used to come with us wherever we went so she wanted to come with us a lot. When we left our house she was looking at us and her daughter was making her play but she didn’t give any attention to her daughter and stared at me. My housemaid forgot to close the door because she was trying to put both dogs in the house. As soon as we left and got quite far away from our house JC ran after our car and didn’t look around her and a mini car hit her and drove away.

I was shocked because I saw everything and I started to cry and we turned around our car and went to JC.  Sadly she passed away straight away because her head and body got separated as the mini cut it off.  That was the saddest day for us. As a tradition people say your dog saved your life instead of us going to die, she saved us. Her daughter didn’t know because she was in the house. I cried a lot so did my family. She was the best loyal dog for us and we had to lose her in this way, which is just so sad.

I took her daughter near her to show what happened to her mother, which I shouldn’t have done. The puppy didn’t know what had happened so she didn’t care. We made JC a grave in our garden and we put stuff that she liked when she was alive.  On the same night my mum dreamt about her that she was playing with us and jumping. A few days later her daughter was waiting for her in front of the gate. She didn’t know her mum passed away and she kept waiting and waiting. This is the best memory for me from my childhood. Her daughter is still alive and she is a very healthy dog and loves to be alone because she is a lazy pug.

JC is the best dog I’ve ever had. She was a friendly, very loyal and playful dog.
