Stewie, my home.

Home is different for everyone, it could be a person, place, thing, or pet. To me, it’s my dog Stewie. In this essay, I will tell you some reasons and points about why he is my home. My first reason is Stewie is important to me. I say this because, before I had him, I was really lonely. On weekends my parents are always working, so I had to entertain myself. Especially in the pandemic, I was so lonely. It was only me, because I couldn’t even see my friends! I never wanted that to happen again, so getting Stewie meant a lot to me. He entertains me, he plays with me and he just lightens my mood with his funny and outgoing personality! My second reason is because he is my emotional support. As I said, he is very outgoing, and his personality makes me feel better when I'm feeling low. And we communicate in a way I wouldn’t be able to with even my best friends. He senses my mood and makes me feel better every time I feel stressed, sad or mad. He always manages to put a smile on my face. My third reason is that he brings the family closer together. Before Stewie, me and my family didn’t spend too much time together. But once we got him, we now go on walks together, go outdoors more and play in the backyard! And, since he is so outgoing. He brings energy and love into our family! There are so many reasons that Stewie is home to me. He is glue that brings the family together, He supports me, and he makes me feel less lonely and alone. And that is why, home is where Stewie is.
