Portabella
I've had a lot of pets in my life, all with their own personalities. Lots of dogs that were happy and loved to be pet, but Portabella was different. She was so weird, and yet so kind. She would pick up little chickens and lick them, then put them down and let them walk and lick them again. She was never aggressive, always soft and sweet. She loved to dance and was the first dog i’ve seen who would do it backwards. She had such a calming presence, and always wanted to be next to me, wherever I was, she needed to be there. I always spoiled her as much as I could, I would sleep on her dog bed if she had already fallen asleep in my bed, because she looked too comfortable and I didn’t want to wake her. We had so many nicknames for her, she was known as porta-pillow, bella, chunk, the biscuit, gobble, pillow, lady, and so many more names. Portabella was funny all the time, she would do so many ridiculous things that made me laugh and smile. One of my favorite memories is when she would be so lazy, she would be laying on her bed and i would get her a treat, she would look up and lay her head back down and i would put the treat on her bed and she would stretch her tongue out like a lizard and get the treat, i would crack up every time. She was also so tough, in her later years she had medical issues, and she always was smiling and trying her best. I spent so many times with her at veterinarian offices getting tests and surgeries. But in those times it felt like we grew closer together, she would look at me and it felt like she was saying as long as my dad and me were together then everything would be ok. I’ve smiled, cried, worried, laughed, and felt a calming joy everyday that I spent with Portabella. The one thing I know is that there will never be any relationship that i have for the rest of my life that will come close to the bond and friendship that Portabella and I had. I love you Pillow.
