My New Puppy

Last month my brother and sister bought me a Yorkie because they wanted to cheer me up after the sudden death of Chloe. She suddenly died this summer due to breathing complications. I was so devastated when I heard the news because I didn’t expect this to happen. Till this day I don’t know what caused her breathing complications because she didn’t have any medical conditions. When I left earlier that morning she was very happy and seemed to be ok. Later that day my sister came home to take her for walk and she noticed that Chloe was breathing very hard. So she immediately brought her to the Veterinary’s office. When I got to the office I saw her lying on a table but she had passed away. Since I was so upset about the news my brother and sister decided it was a good idea to get another Yorkie. When I saw this new puppy I was excited and at the same time I was sad because I missed Chloe. I miss her a lot but these couple of months that I have gotten to know my new puppy, he has made it easier for me to deal with Chloe’s passing. I decided to name him Damien and he has a different personality than Chloe. He is very playful and loving. Training Damien is really a task because he loves to eat and doesn’t like to be in his crate. He doesn’t like to walk with a leash on and he likes to socialize with larger dogs which make me a little nervous when I take him out for walks. I have decided to have trainer help correct some of his bad behaviors and hopefully this will make it easier to train him.

Grammar Point

Do you have any pets that you would like to blog about? If you don’t have any pets that’s ok because I would like you to tell me about a pet you would like to get. In a paragraph you can tell me about your pet (if you have one) or a pet that you would like to get. Maybe you can give me some ideas that may help train Damien.
