Our Perfect Puppy (I)

2 Our Perfect Puppy (I) My sister and I have always wanted a dog. My favourite type of dog is called the Labrador Retriever. They're pure black with a shiny coat. They're friendly. They're great swimmers. And they are very smart. In fact, they're often used to help blind people. One day, my sister and I were at a store getting some eye glasses made. I was bored waiting for my sister to get her eyes examined, so I went to a store where they sold pets. When I walked in, my eyes lit up. Sitting in a cage were two black puppies. The sign said Labrador Retrievers. I asked the girl if she could tell me more about the two puppies. She told me one was a boy and the other, a girl. They were just one month old. They were so cute. They both looked at me with their beautiful eyes, and whined and wagged their tails. I couldn't take my eyes off these two puppies. They were so adorable! I brought my sister over. She liked the dogs, but felt that it wasn't a good time to get a dog.

On the way home, I finally convinced her that a puppy would be perfect for us. When we arrived home, we begged our parents to let us have a puppy. My father said, maybe- if we would work more on our chores. No problem. Right after supper, I rolled up my sleeves and washed the dishes. I saw my mother smiling. About a week later, we went back to the store and the puppies were still there. We chose the female. She was shaking in the car, but she licked my hand and was very happy to see us. I could not help thinking about how she would miss her brother, but we couldn't take both puppies. We got home and made a nice warm nest for her. She fit in perfectly. We gave her a name: Katie. Finally, we had a pet-a Labrador Retriever.
