R is for Rover

Yes, I will emit that I have a lot of stuffed animals, but there is one that stands out the most the one in a million, the one hero among thousands of normal civilians.

His name is Rover.

I got Rover when I was three and a half. He was a present from my dad when he went away. This was normal for me to get a stuffed animal every time he went away, but this time was different. Something about Rover wasn't the same as the others he just made me feel better when I was sad, was always by my side, and would listen to everything I had to say.

There isn't much to Rover's appearance. He is a small little dog with big black eyes . He has a soft black nose, with light beige fur and big floppy ears. Just like your average dog.

Since I was only three when I got him I don't really remember how he became my favorite. I've tried to asked my parents but they always tell me the same thing. " you just got him and loved him." Well da... who do they think I am. Anyways I guess I'll just never know how Rover became my favorite.

Rover has been through a lot with me. From vacations, to sleep-overs, and even the nights when I was scared that the boogy man was going to eat me. We also have a lot of stories that form from what we've been through. Like the time I was in Mexico and my brother asked me if he was a boy or a girl. I didn't really know because I thought of him as a boy, but I only had girl clothing for him. So my conclusion was "sometimes he's a boy and sometimes he's a girl." It's what any seven year old would say. I regret saying this completely because

Rover has also met most of my friends, so at sleep-overs everyone will say "oh did you bring Rover." Then everyone will get out there stuffed animals. Emma has Spanky, and Jewel, and of course Emma names them after her ponies. Rowena has Monkey, but Jenny and Georgia aren't really big on stuffed animals. Personally I think Rover is the best, but that's just me!

In conclusion Rover will always, forever be the one that stands out the most one in a million, the one hero among thousands of normal civilians.

Life Lesson:
They're
...
your Friend,
your companion,
through good times and bad
your friend, your buddy,
through happy and sad,
beside you they stand,
beside you they walk,
they are there to listen,
they are there to talk,
with happiness, with smiles,
with pain and tears,
you know they'll be there,
throughout the years!

  1. I believe that stuffed animals are very important things in your life, aleda. I have two very important items. My blanky, his name is blanky. I also have my pony, his name is spanky, they are both very important to me.Most people would think, what the heck, you are babies playing with stuffed animals, but I also disagree and I think everybody should have a favourite stuffed animals. Do you bring Rover everywhere? Do you have other stuffed animals that are as important as Rover? Do any other people disagree with me that stuffed animals are important?
