5 years ago I learned how much a pet can have a positive impact on someone's life. Since I can remember, a dog was always on my Christmas list and every year there would never be a dog under the tree.
5 years ago my sister brought our first dog home. She walked in to the house with the little girl Ollie and I instantly fell in love. Now 5 years down the road, the little puppy I fell in love with is a big beautiful girl. About 2 years after she was brought home, my other sister decided to get a puppy of her own. Our little boy Cooper was brought home the next day. The love I have for those two dogs outweighs the love I have for many things. Though they are not real people, I do and would do almost anything for them. Leaving the house is always hard especially when they aren't going where I am. Ollie always knows when she's going for a walk or for a car ride, and Cooper always knows that when Ollie's around, life is good.
Having these dogs by my side everyday has shown me that the love you have for your pets is as real as your love for your family.
Whether we are sharing food or my bed and whether I'm happy, sad, or mad. These two dogs give me joy and I am so thankful for them each day.
