I had an awesome christmas break. Other than on Christmas Day, December 26 was awesome for my family. We got our first dog! We had been planning on getting a dog for a long time. But there has always been some problems. My older brother was allergic to dogs. He slowly was around dogs and now he is not. Now my little brother is allergic! Although he is still allergic it is way better than ever. So he takes allergy medicine and he is soon leaning off of it like my older brother.

It all started at 4:00 P.M I was down stairs with my family when she got a call to see dogs at the shelter. So we set the appointment at 5 o’clock. Me, My older sister, and my oldest brother stayed home curious about whether we would rescue one of the dogs. We waited, waited, and waited. Until I heard my phone make a noise. So I jumped up and looked. It was my dad Showing me pictures of our new dog in the car. Me and my sister jumped up and got so excited! We even Screamed! So we laid out his dog bed and sat on the couch for about an hour waited until they got home from getting dog supplies. Then we heard the door open. We ran, just to find out it was my sister! But the right behind them was my family with our new dog. We are so HAPPY! We named him Bentley. He is 8 months old and is a lab and we think husky mix. We still have to get him tested to see if his other breed mix is a husky. But we are pretty sure. He was very quiet and doesn’t bark, He is so gentle.

So it was the next day and everything was fine he was still gentle and quiet. Then on December 28 he started barking and warmed up, he is although still very gently. That morning he also was sick and was throwing up and coughing. So we took him to the vet and he has a cold and eye infections. So we continue to give him medicine. Then the next day we were home alone again and we taught him to run up and down the stairs and he loves to do it.

Everything has been going very well. He is still sick and we feel bad but he should get better soon. I had an awesome break this year. How was your break?
