I think when I have a baby, it’s a little difficult to keep a pet. My corgi was my only so we had a lot of time to play with my dog. But, when I had my daughter, I haven’t spent a lot of time with my dog. My dog never left us. Now, I don’t know why my dog likes to bark. When I haven’t born my daughter, my dog never barked. My dog likes to eat a lot, she is very greedy. Almost every weekend, we take my pet to outdoor restaurant to have brunch in spring or summer.

But, when I had my daughter, I couldn’t spend a lot of time with my dog. My dog has never left us. Now, I don’t know why my dog likes to bark. When my daughter wasn’t born, my dog never barked. My dog likes to eat a lot, she is very greedy. Almost every weekend, we would take my pet outdoors to a restaurant to have brunch during spring or summer.
