，。

Two years ago I brought a puppy home from a friend.

，，。

It was tiny and adorable, and the whole family loved it.

，。

Every morning I take it out for a walk, and in the evening I wash it.

，。

When it gets ill, I get really worried.

，。

Keeping a pet is a hassle, but it has made the house much livelier.

，。

I think looking after it is also learning how to be responsible.
