Thats old enough to ride a bike around our street, but not old enough to have my own puppy--or at least thats what my dad said. I dont really agree with him, but our old apartment in California wasnt big enough for a puppy anyway. I looked it up, and the experts on the Internet say that puppies need lots of room to run outdoors. Now that weve moved into a house with a big backyard, we can really get a puppy! I just have to convince my dad that its a good idea first. So far, no such luck. Dad wants me to prove that I can be "responsible" enough for a puppy first... and then hell "consider" getting me one. I decorated my own room to show Dad Im "responsible." Im trying to be more grown-up, so I only put three dog stuffed animals on my bed. There are ten more under my bed, but Dad doesnt need to know that. Theyll just have to take turns. After I finished, I was looking through a website on huskies, one of my favorite kinds of dogs, when I heard Dad say, "Mindy? Can you help me with these boxes?" CRASH! "Dad!" I ran downstairs to see him standing over a box of broken dishes. "Oh no!" he said. "These were your moms favorites." He looked so sad, like he was about to cry. I wished Id brought one of my stuffed dogs with me. Id even let him hug Snowball, my favorite white husky. I miss Mom, but I know Dad misses her a lot more. She died a few months ago because she was really sick for a long time.
