From Birth to 5th grade
When I was a child, I had a crazy obsession with dogs. It went to the extent where i actually believed I was half dog and half human.. I would litterally crawl on my hands and knees and bark at people like a dog. Whenever i needed a drink, i would pour it into a bowl and mimic the way a dogs drinks. My ceral was also eaten the same way. My friend, who lived down that street, and I would bark to each other at night believing that we were participating in the ''twilight bark''. We also had a dog club with a few other friends and we would have dog themed sleep overs. There were four of us, so we made a dog club, and we were each the ''dog queen'' of the season we were born in.
The picture located above contains me and my cousin, Jackson. For Halloween my mom made me the best dog costume every, which i am found sporting in the picture. My mom told me that for a month that was all i would wear. The costume contains sweatpants and a sweatshirt with painted black dots on it, representing a Dalmatian, and when i wasn't wearing the entire costume, i was wearing the jacket at least.
My favorite movie was 101 Dalmatians, and this movie is what made me believe, or at least hoped, that i was half dog. One time i had a leather bracelet on and i would always wear it. After wearing it for a while and washing my hands with it on it began to leave black spots on my wrist. When i noticed it i thought i was finally turning into a Dalmatian, but alas, when i went to wash my hands again my Dalmatian spots vanished. That day was both the most fantastic day, and the most heart breaking of days. Never will i forget the excitement i felt when i saw those black spots, and never will i forget the anguish i felt when the black spots washed away.
In kindergarden, after many letters to Santa, i got a Yellow Lab for Christmas. I named her Jewel because that was the only girl Dalamtian, at the time, in 101 Dalamtians. She instantly became my best friend. I would always crawl into her krat with her and sleep with her in there so she wouldn't get lonely. One night, i tried to hand cuff my hand to her paw so that when i fell asleep my parents wouldn't be able to carry me up to my room. I figured I would inevitabely have to stay downstairs and sleep with her. That didn't really work out, but to this day, even though she can't play as much as she used to since she's so old now, she's still one of my best friends and i love her.
