Today is National Dog Day, a day to remember our canine friends for all the love and joy they bring into our lives! http://www.nationaldogday.com/
I decided to blog about my first dog Mugsy. My family adopted Mugsy from the North Shore Animal League back in the spring of 1992. We had previously tried to adopt a female pitbull names Sasha, but my parents disagreed so we went to Long Island.
At the North Shore Animal League, my brother and I walked through the puppy adoption area and we were immediately drawn tro two very different dogs. We first came across a yellow lab. This lab was 6 weeks old and was very hyper.
We then spotted a quiet brown and black puppy laying in the middle of his cage. We were drawn to this pup and because my brother and I both agreed that he would be easy going, we decided to adopt him. Mugsy instantly fit into our family. That first night we brought him home he was a little scared so my brother and I let him sleep in our room to comfort him and try to bond with hime. He quickly adapted and became the friendliest dog in Sunset Park. Every time when we went to the Park, the kids would run up to Mugsy and pet him. For his part, Mugsy would run up to the other dogs in the park and invite them to play with him. And when my brother left home, he became my best friend. He was simply the best dog ever.
Mugsy was our constant companion and he lived be 14 years old until our mom had to put him down. At the end, Mugsy could not even stand up to eat or use the bathroom. We struggled to bring him food but even then he wouldn't eat.
But everytime I think of Mugsy, I remember how good he was and how happy he made me and my family feel.
Thanks Mugsy!
