* Star *

          When someone asks me "what I value the most", the first thing that appears in my mind is: Love, Family, and Friendship. But when I truly think of this, I realize that I want to be more original and specific. When I got the chance to think harder about this subject, I thought of someone that fit all of those ideas. This someone is my best friend, sister, and my dog, Star. I thought of this assignment as the perfect opportunity to say how I truly feel about her before she leaves up for doggy heaven.

            These last few weeks, she has been sick and the doctors do not think she is going to make it. Since I have been spending most of my time feeding her, giving her medicine, and trying to make her last few days with us as painless as possible, I have had enough time to realize how I truly feel about her. She is not just an animal or our pet; she is a part of our family. She has been a part of this family since I was around 5 years old. She has been here from the beginning and none of us will ever forget her.

            I consider Star not only my pet, but also my best friend and sister. Star is one of those dogs that has always been happy and excited even when everyone is upset, and she knows when to be around and when to disappear. For example: if mom is yelling, then she knows to get out of her way, but afterwards when I need someone to talk to or just someone to be here for me, I know she will be right there to cheer me up. Last but not least, I would like to say that I have valued the time, friendship, and love that has been spent with Star, and she will never be forgotten.
