Getting My Dog

          About four years ago I got a dog. It was almost Christmas and I really wanted a dog. I told my parents I wanted one for Christmas. On Christmas Eve my sisters came home around 8:00 P.M. When I saw what they had I was instantly overjoyed. It was a golden retriever mix, but I don't know the other dog. It was a boy and he was kind of small, not tiny just small. I named him Buddy and I didn't want to leave him to sleep. So I snuck him into my bed when my mom was in her room. He is allowed in the house, but not on the beds or couches. I woke up to him licking my face on Christmas morning. I ran to my sisters' and my parents' rooms. Buddy followed me and then we went around the tree. My sisters even got Buddy some presents. He got treats, a fluffy bed, and a snowman costume. He instantly jumped up for a treat then started eating it on his new bed. That was the best Christmas I've had for a while. I hoped you liked my story.
