My Pet DogI have always been an animal lover, especially dogs. When i was young I was never aloud a dog, then one summers night, me and my friends were sitting by the grassy burn near to where we all lived. An old cream car drove past and through a little black and white pup out of the car window. You could tell they done it in a way that they did not want to harm the pup.
The little pup came running over to us and started jumping all over us, licking us to death. We where having fun playing with the pup but were shocked that someone could do such a thing. We deiced to use the first initial from all our names and came up with the name for the new pup - Megg.
An hour later we where going round everyone's door, trying to find it a new home, unfortunatelyty no one wanted a new pet. Last chance saloonon was to try my mum, I already new what the answer would be but thought I would give it a go anyway, luckelyly enough for us and Megg my mum was just back from an evening out and was quite happy, and to my astonishment she let me keep the dog. happy days I thought, new pet and all that, my mother was not to pleased with her self the next morning when she awoke to rememberer telling me I could keep my new pet.
BouncerAfter a few days we decided to change my new pets name to Bouncer, just for the plain fact that he loved to bounce all over the place.
About two years had passed and Bouncer was everybodey's best freind, he done everything with us from playing football to playing tig, but he had one very nasty habbit, he chased car tyres. I know I should have had him on a lead all the time but it was just not possible if he was to play with us all the time. He always escaped getting run down till my brother went past on his mates motorbike. Bouncer tried to bite the back wheel and got cought underneath it. I rushed him home and we took my pet dog to the vet where he patched him up. He had badly damaged his back leg. My mother struggled to pay the bill and it ended up taking weeks and months of going to the vet and getting operation after operation. It amounted to hundreds of pounds and that is a lot of money now, never mind back in the early 90's.
Pet InsuranceIt was after that, my mother decided to get pet health insurance, it only cost a few quide each month and would help in the future should any accidents happen whilst chasing car wheels. Bouncer lived a good life thanks to my mother being a little happy after an evening out with her freinds. Nowadays Bouncer is long gone but never forgotten. I have always had pet dogs and now I always make sure I have a
pet insurance plan that will help me cover any vet bills that may arise.
