One snap shot image that sticks out in my mind is at my fifth birthday party, when I received my dog as my present. She was just a sheltie puppy, wrapped in a pink baby blanket, only a couple months old. My grandma had died 5 days earlier, so everyone in my family was in mourning, and we all needed something to smile about. I had begged my parents for a dog for such a long time, I was pretty much convinced that I was never going to get one. She was so small and shaking when I got her, I could see the fear and excitement of new people in her eyes. I remember how I instantly thought of the name Lady, because she was so pretty. I petted her head and held her in my lap to comfort her. Nowadays, she’s old and slowing down, but I will never forget how special that dog is to me.
