Hi!
I was asked to write another story about my pets by my friend Makayla. If you have any ideas of any other typesof stories you want to hear about on the blog, please contact me. So, I will be writing the story of Sunny.
It all started when our next door neighbor, a dairy farmer, was borrowing our pasture for his horses. As a thank-you, he wanted to give us a border collie puppy because his dog was about to give birth. I begged my parents to take his offer up because I'd never had a dog before. My mom and dad said that maybe after a little more research, we could possibly get a puppy. But, we had to look into other breeds first. I learned about Golden Retrievers and decided that was the breed of dog I wanted because these dogs sounded like good family pets. My parents told me we could get one under one condition. That was that I would write a report about golden retrievers. I did so happily and after I completed it, we began to look into the options. A lady who used to board her horses at our barn told us about a vet that bred Golden Retrievers. I was so excited.
A couple months later, we went over to the vet's house, and we got to meet Sunny's mom. A few weeks later, late on Easter night, Sunny and her siblings were born. I had decided on the name Sunny a while ago and was looking forward to picking her out. At a week old, Sunny was small enough to fit into both hands.
When it was time to choose which puppy we wanted, I couldn't decide. I wanted a girl, but that was the only standard I had. My dad pointed to a sleeping puppy and said, "Let's get the sleepy one." I agreed because the puppy was a girl and I wouldn't have been able to decide otherwise. We didn't realize that all puppies take lots of naps.

We now joke that Sunny was just saving up her energy for when she went home with us.
At one point, before we could take Sunny home, she lost her collar. Luckily, we were able to figure out which one was her. On the day we took her home, she did a good job of whimpering when she needed to go to the bathroom as we were driving. The next nights were not great. We had to let her out three times during the night. My dad took the late night shift. My mom took the graveyard shift and I took the early shift. She did become better at potty training, but we had to learn to deal with her whimpering for the first few months.
Even though Sunny is no longer sleepy, we love her dearly.
So that's the story of Sunny. Does anyone have fun stories about how their pets came to their families? If so, I'd love to hear about them.
