One of my most favorite memories is the one that I was told about and shortly after being told it I started to remember it. My favorite memory is when I was really little, at our old house I fell asleep on the porch and my dog Shelby (a rottweiler) laid next to me and protected me. She protected me so much that my  mom sad that she wouldn’t even let my mom pick me up to take me in the house.

This is my favorite memory just because Shelby was my best friend and I loved her so much, all memories I have with her are my favorite. Like every Christmas when we would sit on the floor to open our presents she would always lay with me and after we opened all of our presents her and I would lay by the fire and sleep. Mom said that she would never leave my side while I slept.

I want to believe that the memory is still in my head because I miss her and after I found out that she had breast cancer and was in a lot of pain, I could tell because I was in pain for her, it was hurting me to see her in so much pain and when we had to put her down it killed me inside. I miss her everyday even talking about it hurts even now it hurts. Every time I think of her it always ends with the same ending. I will never find another dog like her she was one of a kind.

All memories are special to one person for its own reason and some of those memories hang around in your head not everyone knows why but sooner or later they will find out why it is still there. Memories stay with people sometimes it might be to help them remember the good things and others are to help you forget the bad and some memories help show who you are as a person. It is like the movie Inside Out how Riley had different islands that is like our brain we have different thing that make us who we are. That is why memories are so important. I will never forget Queen Shelby, my best friend and my family. R.I.P my beautiful girl.
