Laura and Cindy.

Summer of 2010 will always be my best memory. I got to pick my own Jack Russell. I went to see the litter of puppies with my granda and mum. I was so excited.. Two ran straight past me. However one stayed, that one was a beautiful girl Jack Russell with one brown ear, and the rest of her all white. I knew straight away this was the one. I named her Cindy. The name Cindy just popped straight into my head, I don't know why but Cindy lives upto her name. I didn't even know at the time but the name Cindy means friendly and that's exactly what Cindy is, a loving and friendly dog. she knows when I am sad because she will stay with me until I am happy again. She is always by my side and we have had many exciting times together. She is lying sleeping at my feet as I am typing this. She really is the best and most loyal dog. Cindy is now 5 years old, in her thirties in dog years. I dread the day I wont be without my Cindy. I love her so much and we both have a strong, deep and very loving bond. She is my best friend and at times I prefer her company rather than some peoples! Cindy gets on well with Scratchy the cat who came to us as a stray a few years ago. Cindy also gets on well with Darra, my mums girl Jack Russell dog. Darra is seven years old. Cindy is my best friend and I couldn't bear to be without her.
