They came in different shapes, different looks but as long as you love them, they will love you back as their best pal ever.

The family always have a pet especially dogs. My sister Mezz always love to have dogs around. Since then, I could not keep up a number of how many dogs we had.

Recently, we have a dog and we named him 'Dagul'. I am not really sure what kind of breed it was, but he is cute, he is very small and short. Opposite from what we wanted to have, a Labrador. But as he grows older, he seems to be smart and a very good dog for us. Last year he was dating some neighborhood dog and had a puppy. We are all so excited to see this cute thing that really looks like her dad. My sister named her 'Swiny' because she is short and round. She is so playful and could hardly ran fast because she got a round tummy. She loves to sleep a lot, sometimes you can spot her lying on her back and she looks funny. This chubby little puppy was so adorable and very gentle. She loves to play and keeps following you around especially in the morning when I walk around the garden. In mid day, you can see her lying around the corner and try to cool herself or sleeping. She could not do so much yet because she is just a week old. We are excited she will grow fast and planned on how to train her.

We try to take pictures of Swiny so that we can see her grow up. But sad to say this pictures will be the first and last picture we can have with her.

It was a time when everybody was so busy and never noticed that she went out of the yard. We tried to search the neighborhood, but we could not find her. If ever someone by chance took her, we just hope that she was really taken care and loved. We know, we could never find another Swiny like her, but still wishing she was just around. Sometimes I'm still wondering how she would look like right now.

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.

He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.

He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target.

Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!

In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his Sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'

But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'

Then she whispered to him, "remember the duck?'

So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'

Sally just smiled and said, 'well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help?

She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.
