Snuggles and Wagging Tails: My Life with My Dog, by: Mendoza, Renice

Taking care of my dog and buying cute things for her has grown into one of my favorite hobbies because it makes both of us happy. My story started when I bought her first toy, and I noticed how excited she became. Since then, I’ve enjoyed looking for new ways to make her feel loved, whether through toys, treats, clothes, or fun accessories that match her personality. I also make sure to buy her diapers and other hygiene items, like wipes and shampoo, so she always stays clean and comfortable. Shopping for her, whether it’s cute clothes or useful hygiene products, makes me feel excited because it’s like adding something special to her life. I also spend a lot of time playing with her, teaching her small tricks, and making sure she is well-groomed and healthy. She’s always sleeping next to me, which makes me feel loved and gives me comfort whenever I’m tired or stressed. This hobby not only takes away my worries but also teaches me patience, responsibility, and kindness.

 

Another reason I love this hobby is because it strengthens the bond between me and my dog. Whenever I come home, she welcomes me with excitement, and that moment makes me realize how rewarding it is to care for her. Even simple activities, like walking her outside or cuddling with her after a long day, bring me peace and joy.

In the future, I want to continue finding more cute items for her, like clothes that match my style or toys that she hasn’t tried yet. I also want to take more photos of her with her cute stuff to keep as memories. For me, this hobby is not only about taking care of a pet—it is about love, happiness, and sharing my life with a loyal friend who always makes me smile.
