It wasn't a dream and it wasn't heaven either. I was 12 in America and lived in Indiana. It was December and it was cold and chily outside. I looked into my window thinking what I would really like for Christmas. I thought what I couldn't get when I was little. I was pretty lonely these days and I wanted something that could keep me entertained. A bunny? I thought about that but it would be too small and I would always have to keep it in a cage and I wanted an animal that could move all around the house as free will. I thought... and thought..and I finally knew what I wanted. A dog. I went down the stairs and asked nervously for a dog. My parents first said no because it was a lot of responsibility and would take a lot of time to train it. The next day, my family and I went to the mall to go shopping after church. In the mall, there was a small pet shop and when we were passing by it, we stopped and took a look at it, but my dad told me it was only for looking, not buying. I looked at the cute puppies that were playing around, they needed a home and a family. I asked my parents one more time nicely. My dad glanced at me, then the puppies. I thought that he feeled the same way too for the puppies. My dad finally said "ok". My mom looked at my dad that she didn't want a dog in our house, but I had a reason I wanted a dog and I knew that my parents took care of dogs when they were in THEIR childhood and I also knew that they loved dogs too. Then my mom suddenly agreed. I jumped and hopped with my sister and went inside the pet shop again and asked the clerk. My mom said that we should take care of a pomeranian because it would remind my mom again of her dog that died a long time ago. We asked the clerk to order a pomeranian, then she said that pomeranian puppies don't come until AFTER christmas. I couldn't wait until after christmas! I wasn't a patient girl, so my family just left. I was surely dissapointed.
The next sunday, my mom's friend on the phone that she saw on the newspaper that a house was selling pomeranian puppies! My mom went to her friend house for the phone number. Then when she came back to our house, my dad called the house phone number. I could hear it was ringing, I couldn't wait. Then the phone answered finally. My dad talked about the cost and where we should meet. I was expecting to be next week, but my dad said now! I was smiling and rushed to my room to get dressed, in any minute I was getting a dog. My dad told me that we would meet the owner of the puppies in Target (a store). When we finally got to Target, the owner came. She brought two gorgeous puppies, one was white and the other was light brown mixed with white. My parents and I finally decided to get the mixed-colored one. When the owner put the puppy into my hands, I wrapped it with my warm, furry coat. I thought this was a dream, it wasn't. That day was one of the happiest moment in my life and I couldn't ask for anything more. Then I named my dog, Bella. A good, simple, and a pretty name for a girl dog.
