If you have had a pet before, you know that they are more than just a furry friend; they become part of the family. I've had many pets over the years, and they all hold a special place in my heart!
Molly has been in my life the past two years, and I wouldn't trade her for the world. She's always there for me, whether I am in tears or just happy to see her. Every time when I walk in the door she is always so excited to see me. She follows me all around the house and at night time she has to be touching me in order to go to sleep. She has a personality like no other and I wouldn't change a thing about her.
If any of you have come in contact with her, you know how crazy she can be. She hates when I dress her up, but I can't help but buy little outfits at the store. She won't even sit next to me when I put those on her.
She makes my day, every day. She is someone I can talk to without judgment. She's seen me during my good moments and during my not-so-good ones. No matter what is wrong, she is always by my side. Now I am an RA and she has about 40 new friends who love to take her for walks and play with her. She is never lonely.
All in all, I feel that if you were a kid who grew up without a pet, you definitely missing out on some good times. They become apart of the family and when the day comes that you must outlive your furry friend, it will be terribly hard, but you will know that you gave them the best possible life possible.
Until that day, I'm looking forward to all the memories that Molly and I will make together. Yes, it is not the easiest thing having a dog in college, especially living in the residence halls. However, she makes everything worth it in the end! I love you, Molly.
