My BEST Friend
My best friend is not someone who you would picture me doing all kinds of fun and exciting things with. She is someone I have known for over 11 years now and is still the cutest little bean! She also just happens to live with me, therefore I get to see her each and every day! She is overly delighted when anyone in the family walks through the door each day. Her favorite foods are small cut up carrots, either red or green delicious apples, or scrumptious bananas. She likes to play games, as well as cuddle on the couch to be extremely warm. She has four stubbly legs, one squished in nose, two floppy ears, and one curly tail. That's right! You've guessed it....my best friend is my dog! Her name is Nellie. She is a Pug, she has a white fur coat and a little black face. She is the most loving, energetic, cutest dog you'll ever meet! She is my best friend and I love her!

Thanks for sharing the story of your best friend. She's an adorable dog. One of my best friends is named Nellie, but she is a person. She is short, but I don't think any of the other adjectives apply.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute that your pup is your best friend. I don't have a dog, but I can imagine that having a dog as a best friend is easier than having a human BFF! They can't talk back and they get over everything pretty quickly. Plus you can tell what they're feeling by the wagging of their tails--no guessing games there!
