When I Met Ozzy for the First Time

´´Squeak´´  “Did you hear that?” I asked my mom. “Here what”  my mom replied as she took the groceries from the car.  As I walked inside  the kitchen  I tripped on a bag ‘’OW,’’  I shrieked as I got back up.  I saw a  … dog?!  He was black, brown, and a pinch of white.  His eyes  were sparkling black. He looked soft and cuddly.  He looked hopeless in my uncle's hand with not a care in the world.   ‘’Am I in a dream?’’ I said softly as I walked up to him.  ‘’No,’’  said uncle Alan as he held out Ozzy as if he wanted me to hold him.   ‘’Where did you get you get him ?’’   I asked as I stepped back  to get the collars that Buddy had when he was six weeks old like Ozzy. ‘’ I got him from my friend,’’   My uncle said as he petted Ozzy.  ‘’Bark bark,’’ said Ozzy softly.  I looked out at the night light sky and realized that it was not a dream and had to expect that it wasn't.

I looked deeply into Ozzy’s eyes and felt our souls touching and saw our universe.   As if he was mine forever but I knew it wouldn't last forever but would  have to enjoy when it lasted.  After that  I picked Ozzy up and  hugged him tight as if he was a puffy cloud.  After I  saw a glimpse of a new friendship starting. Suddenly   Out of  nowhere I  hugged  him tight  and  tears of joy rolled  down my face and on Ozzys fur. Finally I  stopped crying  I felt so happy.

‘’Welcome to the family little dude,’’  I picked Ozzy up.   He let out a small bark ‘’bark,’’  ‘’You're adorable...  Ozzy? Was it?’’  I said with a mischievous smile and a spark in my eyes and a wink.  Just kidding I know your name. I said with a smile across my face.  I began to  tear up again. I told Ozzy    ‘’I love you Ozzy and I will love you for A Thousand Years...Or more I will always care for you I promise  even if I don’t show it I will  always love you Ozzy  always.’’I shed a tear as I gave  Ozzy a kiss on his forehead.  He gave me a lick on the cheek.  I hugged  him and I saw the glimpse of my new friend.
