hi sam, 

how are you? you know, for my birthday, which was last week i got a new dog. her name is sally and she is so cute! she's white with funny black years and tail. she is three months old. however she's rather big. sandy loves walking and playing with the ball, which i bought her few days ago. her favourite thing is to run after the cats and bark at them. as a result, sometimes it is difficult to hold her when she sees a cat. two times per week we go to special school for dogs. sandy learns there many new skills. in the school she is always very obedient. after i got sandy i don't need the alarm clock anymore! she wakes me up daily around 6: 30. i go for a walk with my dog every morning. we have breakfast at the same time. she prefers "pedigree" and i cornflakes with tee. when i come from the school sandy feels very happy. in the evening i also go for a walk with her and after wash her with the shower. i love my dog! i heard you also have a pet,is that true? what is it? how do you look after it? what other pets   would you like to have?
