Baxter

We wanted a dog on a cold winter morning and now that it was winter the snow fluttered to the ground. My mom and dad said when my brother is ten. I thought about dogs and how fun they could be. When I went into cars I see people having fun with dogs. My neighbors went away one time and we had to dog sit Ruby. After that I really wanted a dog! When my brother was ten I waited the whole year because I had to wait for the spring. Then my brother turned eleven then we got a dog!

          It was a surprise when we got a dog. He was white as a cloud. He was so small that you can run with him in your arms. His neck was so thin that he could slip out of his collar. He was as soft as a blanket. His hair was as long as my fingers. He nibbled as soft as a small hug on your hand. He was fun because he hid behind bushes. I loved chasing after him. He always tripped over my brother and I. He was funny and cute. We named him Baxter. I loved to pick him up inside and put him on the couch and lay with him. He is so fluffy and warm. I love to bring him up to my room and he cuddles up with me. When he goes to sleep he is so cute. He lies on your lap at night and after some rubs he starts to fall a sleep. Baxter is so smart because he moves his crate by getting the blanket from the inside and moves it to the spot he wants.  The blanket is warm and fuzzy.  It is bright red as fire flaming.  It is torn to large pieces.  It is scattered all around the dark black crate.  One time he put it in front of the door and I tried to open the door but the crate was in front of it.   I put my hand through the part that was open and pushed it out of the way.  That was funny. 

         

He sometimes eats things that are not edible like underwear.  I think that it is weird.  Sometimes we get it back but you never want to use it again.  When you give him treats he spits them out.  He then stops and picks them up off of the floor then eats it.  Once he went to the vet and came home with a big clear cone on his neck and he was trying to scratch himself but he could not. 

         

When you wait a long time it is exciting when you really get it.  Baxter was worth the wait!
