The year with my dog

One Sunday in the middle of July 2005. I came home from church with my mom.Our cat Valentine had died two years before. So my mom thought it was time for new pet. So we went to Petsmarts in Whitehall. I looked for a cat or dog. We went to the back to see if there were any animals in the back of the store. Then I found the dog I liked. We went to ask to people how much the dog was they said 50 dollars. So we said we will take him to foster for two weeks. We asked the name they said it was Colby. So we took him home.

For two weeks he got know us and we got know him. From barking at little noises and make accident in the house. But as the two weeks went by we knew he was part of family. We went back to petsmarts we pretended that we did not want him. But we did want him. Over time we got him a cage, dishes, toys and food. We all played ball with him.

One more thing happened. We took him to class to help me and my mom that was both our first dog. He changed how we behaved and got along with others. Colby is the best thing that happened to our family. He protects us and the house by barking to tell us that there is someone or something out side.
