I hope my dog can also have a happy holiday but I’m sure she couldn’t eat well or sleep well at first,Because she was a stray dog before and she is afraid to leave her home. I still remember what she looked like when I first saw her. She was very small, very hungry and pretty afraid. She was in the middle of the road and it was monday’s morning and there are too many cars in the road. I think she was so small that the drive couldn’t saw her,:so we took her home. We had never thought of have a dog before,but she is really qute, lovely and give us so many happiness. We think we are lucky and We regard her as our own child.

I still remember what she looked like when I first saw her. She was very small, very hungry and pretty afraid. She was in the middle of a busy road and it was Monday morning and there were too many cars in the road. I think she was so small that the drivers couldn’t see her, so we took her home. We’d never thought of having a dog before, but she is really cute, lovely and gives us so much happiness. We think we are lucky and we regard her as our own child.
