Ashkii My Brother

Some people would think that it would be weird to call their pet, their brother. As for me I do not think it was weird at all because I never had a brother, I only had one older sister and we have our fun sister bonds but sometimes we both wish for a brother but that did not happen. So instead we got a puppy and we decided to call him Ashkii, and it met boy in Navajo. From the time we got him we took care of him like a close family member and he was on spoiled puppy, but we all didn’t mind. Ashkii was the most amazing dog I’ve ever owned in my life because he liked to play a lot and I mean a lot, he had a lot of toys we bought him. But since he liked to play a lot we thought it would be cool to teach him some tricks so I ended up teaching him to fetch within 3 weeks, we also taught him how to stay in one place, and then we were trying to teach him how to roll over, and he can jump very high for a small dog. Also the family and I would take him with us everywhere and I mean everywhere. We took him to town, to rodeos, and he enjoyed them long travels with us.

The family and I could never be so happy with our dog for the past 3 years, until one day it became a nightmare. It was a nightmare because we didn’t get to say good bye, because my sister and I were working out of state and our puppy ended up dying while we were gone for the summer. It was very sad because we felt like we lost a family member and we all cried because Ashkii was no dog or little puppy he was our brother, our little baby of the family. It hurt my mom, my sister, and my dad, including myself. It’s been 11 months since our Ashkii died, but there is not a moment that we all do not think of him. For example when I drive back home I keep thinking that he is laying in the back seat of my car as I drive, or when I come home I keep thinking that I well get a welcome home greeting from my brother. (tear). As for my mother and sister they were said because they did not have one picture of our puppy, and I was the only one who took a lot of pictures. So last Christmas I bought a collage picture frame and put Ashkii pictures in them, and when my mom and sister open their presents they cried so much as well as my dad.

Yes I miss my dog, and the other pet that we have owned. Thinking about it with all the animals that we had which were dogs, sheep’s, and horses we treated them like family and we all think about them. In the end we all miss our Ashkii, and we loved him dearly along with the past animals we owned (some died, some were stolen, some were sold, and some went missing).
