In Australia, I've always wanted a dog, but my parents said no. My dad said no because he was scared of dogs. My mum said no because she thought I wasn't ready for a dog yet. My parents reached a conclusion that I should have a guinea pig. We went to the pet shop to get 2 albino guinea pigs. They had red eyes. Then uncle Doug gave us a cockatiel. It was yellow. Its name was Buddy. Then we bought a white faced cockatiel. We named it Elmo. We often went to untie Flo's house. She has a maltese terrier dog called Billie. Billie is a girl. From then on, uncle Doug taught me how to care for a dog. When we went back home to Indonesia, I found a shih tzu. I knew that it was a girl. My dad agreed that we could keep it. We decided to call it Suzanne. When I went to school, dad told me some bad news. He said the owner of Suzanne took her back! We went home and dad searched many sites to adopt a new dog. We fianally found one. It was a dachshund. We went to the owners' house to pick it up. Her name was Juli. She was really cute. I was very happy. She likes to bite socks. When we went home, she was really excited. She wouldn't let me leave her! When I went to the toilet, she would try to get in or whine. At night she kept barking and wouldn't let me sleep. The next day, I had to miss school because we were going to return Juli back to untie Titin's house. Dad shared all the problems with untie Titin. When we got home, I was very sad. So, uncle Clement let me take care of Suzanne. From then on, my friends started coming to my house more often to play with Suzanne. Suzanne is really cute!
