I just got home when I saw something small move in my uncle's truck. It was nine 'o clock on May 31, 2009 as the streetlight illuminated a little black thing jumping around the back seat. I asked my uncle what was moving in the back and he just smiled as he went to his car. What happened next made me the happiest girl for the rest of my life (until it "leaves", that is).
Just as my uncle opened the car door, a little creature with small legs and a long body jumped out and ran to me. It was a dog (a mix of a chihuahua, dachsund, or German shepard?---to this day, my family is still unable to determine its kind)! It was a black, tan, and white dog with a purple collar and she had the cutest eyes and face in the whole wide world! When she greeted me, her smile made me laugh as she wagged her tail exuberantly. My uncle asked if I wanted to keep her as an early birthday present (my birthday was the next day). She was healthy and up to date with all her shots. I immediately looked at my dad, knowing that this was my first time I ever had to take care of a dog. He said it was okay as long as I looked after it. Then, the little girl inside of me squealed with joy as I played with my newfound friend.
My uncle also took out a bed, tug-o-war rope, dog food, and a food and water bowl from his truck as I played with her. I asked him how old she was and he said that she just turned two. When I asked what her name was, he simply said, "Mimi".
That night, Mimi came with us to her new home. Throughout the whole ride (it was a 40 minute drive), Mimi slept on my lap as we both happily drifted off to sleep. As I slept, I dreamt of having lots of fun with Mimi and hoped that she dreamt of the same thing.
