Chapter 1

"Wake up Rachael, if you want to get that new dog you need to be ready in 15!!" Rachael's mother said as she turned on Rachael's bedroom lights. Today was the day! The day she finally got to get a little puppy of her own. She knew what kind he wanted, what she was going to name it, what the nickname might be, and all the little toys she wanted to save up to get for the little dog.

"Today's the day!!!" Rachael said to herself. Then yelled it aloud. She jumped out of bed, put on a baggy gray t-shirt with some jeans that she had cut to shorts, and was already in the car.

"Honey, I meant 15 minutes, not seconds. Did you even brush your hair?" Her mother asked.

"No mom. I can do it later."

"Well did you brush your teeth?"

"Mom, I didn't eat, why should I brush me teeth?"

Her mother finally got in the car and off they went.

"Sammy. The name will be Sammy." She said out loud but too herself.

"Very nice name! Do you know what kind of dog you want?" Her mother replied, not knowing Rachael was talking to herself.

"Yes I do. A Jack Russell Terrier."

As the two continued to drive, Rachael's mom finally turned on the Radio and listened to some tunes. There were many to choose from. Christina Aguilera was the one they choose. It was Beautiful. When the song was almost over, they turned in to the parking lot of the pet shop. Usually they would stay in the car and listen to the rest of the song, but Rachael ran out of the car before the car was even turned off.

"May I help you miss?" The manager of the store asked.

"Yes please. Well, my mother Finally said I could have a dog of my own and I want a Jack Russell Terrier. Do you have any?" Rachael said in a rush.

"Why yes we do. We have 4 left. Would you like a female or male?"

"Female please."

"Well come over this way." The man started to show the girl where the Jack Russell Terriers were.

"Right here. And if you need more help just call me over. My name is Mark."

"Well thank you Mark, my name is Rachael." The man left and Rachael quickly turned to look at the puppies. She immediately saw one she loved. A female. But Sammy didn't suit this one. Clarise did. She ran over to the guy and asked if she could hold it and the guy said ya. Just pick 'em up. She quickly ran over to the puppy and picked it up. She held it in her hands and hugged it tight. But as she held it in her arms. She saw a different dog. This little dog was in the corner. Sad. She put the dog in her arms down and dried to pick up the other dog. It was scared and it was very afraid of her. So she let it smell her then picked him up t show her it was ok. The dog started to adjust but was still alert and cautious. And soon began to lick. Rachael laughed and chooses the dog. But wasn't sure what to name her. She showed her mom and bought the dog.
