Journal #44 Imagery and Personification in an Animal

When you talk about animals the first animal that comes to my head is a dog. I do not know why but, they are just the most popular animal to me. My family has one dog and I have no idea what kind it is but, he is white and has a lot of hair. His name is Pinkee, which I also have no idea why we call him this but, things are what they are and his name just so happens to be Pinkee even though he is a little bitty white dog with no traces of pink on him at all. We have some cats too, so it is very interesting to see how he interacts with him since, both my cats and the dog are territorial so they get into a lot of fights. I find it hilarious when they fight each other even though that is probably bad for morals, but for some reason I find a glistening white dog fighting a midnight dark black cat, to be hilarious. Pinkee almost got hit by a car the other day. I saw it happen first hand with him running out of the house, into the neighbor's hard, which just so happens to be separated by a busy road. Right as he crossed my dog was probably about four yards away from being road kill on the side of the road. I do not know what I would have done if he would have died. I would have probably cried myself to sleep over the very tramatic accident and never been able to look myself in the mirror. I love that dog like a brother/sister, because I am not really sure if he is a dude or a chick. I am guessing he probably a dude, but then again who knows. I really hope that he does not father any little puppies if he is a guy, because I really do not want the responsibility of another dog on my hands. Pinkee is enough.
