A special one..

Dear Diary,

I have a dog named Louie. He is very special to me. He will be 4 years old this year. He has a pair of big eyes and brown and white fur. He has a long and bushy tail and he loves to wag it. He loves to play and go for walks.

I met him on Christmas day at a pet farm. He was the only Shih Tzu left in the cage. His big eyes melted my heart. He looked so cute. The sales person wanted me to buy him straight away but I told him that I would go home to think about. I wanted to be sure that I was ready to take care of a dog before getting one. After a night of thinking, I made up my mind. I went back to the farm to get him the next day. He was so happy to go home with me. After since I brought him home, my life changed. He is a great companion. He keeps me company all the time. When I am sad, he will sit by my side and lick me. If I come home late, he will sit at the door to wait for me. There are times when he is very naughty and I will get very angry. However, I hardly get angry with him for a long time. He will definitely do something to make me laugh again. Louie has become my best friend since he came home with me. I am so glad to I have him as my dog. He brings a lot of joy to me and my family. Everyone at home loves him.

Life is very short for dogs. I will give as much love and care to Louie when he is still around. I will try my very best to let him have a good and happy life.
