5. My New Dog

I slowly examined the sorry-excuse for a dog I held in my hand. "She'll grow in time, Amara, just giver her a chance." My cousin said after noticing the look I had on my face and probably reading my mind again (I hate it when she does that!). 'What am I going to do with this in the meantime?' I thought.

I was going to say something really mean to the dog but before I could get it out, the stupidly cute thing licked my nose. Now come on! How am I going to stay angry at a puppy that knows how to remind me that it's a puppy! Finally, I gave in as the pup licked me again and put on the ground. I gave Michelle a fake hug and said 'thanks' and back upstairs, not wanting anything else to do with the puppy.

The pup however had different plans and attempted to follow me up the stairs, of witch we only had 5 of. She didn't even get past the first one. As I disappeared around the corner and Michelle went into the first floor bathroom (we have two), the pup started to cry. Now what did I say about the puppy reminding me how helpless it is. I removed myself from my precious videogame to help the damn dog. I looked down at her and she looked back. She was so cute! Her right ear kinda fell sideways instead of sticking straight up like her left one. I smiled and picked the puppy up. "You're lucky you are so cute otherwise you'd be cat food." I said as Patches walked by. Patches hates puppies and used to torture poor Silence when he was a pup. My puppy was a little braver than Silence apparently as she jumped out of my arms and barked wildly at the cat.

Patches hissed at my puppy and prepared to scratch her across the nose but the pup moved back than leaped forward and tackled my poor kitty. After wiggling out of my puppy's grasp, the cat ran for her life, my pup barking after her. I just laughed. "I think I'm going to enjoy this new dog."
