We all have pets that make our lives better. The joy, laughter, and love they bring to us. I have a blonde Labrador Retriever name, Chloe Beyoncé Morton. She turned nine in October. Chloe loves to eat. I mean LOVES to eat! You can’t sit down and pray for your meal without her fork being on your plate!

I had Chloe since she was a puppy. When we first got her, she about two months old. She was so nervous because she was used to be being around her siblings. Then we started to play with her, feed her, and gave her a blanket. She realized we were her family for life! After that, Chloe has been the best and naughtiest thing that ever happen in the family.

Chloe has her moments where she is the devil. One time when she a pup, she saw she had a bag of treats in the kitchen and she decided to grab them. She ate all night. The next day when I was trying to give her breakfast, she couldn’t eat it. I was worried because Chloe loves food and her not eating is bad! Then I saw the bag of treats on the floor empty and I laughed. I told my family about it and we all laughed. Chloe ate to the point she had a stomach ache and we gave her water so she could feel better.

Chloe brings so much laughter into my home. My family and I have stories for days! Chloe was one and it was the night of my birthday. My family and I were watching television in the living room. Chloe decided to go down the hall probably to do something she wasn’t suppose to do. We heard her bark and running backwards up the hall. She ran and jumped on my mom lap. My family and I were afraid someone was in the house. Grandma decided to be a detective and investigate. She came up the hall laughing holding the balloons from my birthday party. Chloe started barking at the balloons. We all laughed! If you are wondering if she still afraid of balloons, yes, she is.

One thing I love about Chloe is that she always there when you need her. She isn’t trained to be a service dog but she knows about my disability. My disease, Ullrich Muscular Dystrophy, causes me to get sick sometimes. She makes sure to cuddle with me, get my mom if something is wrong, and always stay up to make sure I am okay. When I am sad, she always tries to make me happy. Chloe love to make sure my family and I are always okay.

Chloe has been a blessing in my life and even though she a troublemaker at times, I love her so much!
