I got two dogs.

When I came back from my English lesson, I went straight into the bedroom. In the balcony, I saw these small white dogs sleeping like two rabbits! I nearly screamed! They were so cute! They were white, their legs were long comparing to their body, their ears were stood up and pointy.
My dad said ages ago that he will get a dog. He also chose a name for the dog as well. Not caring about my mum's disagreement, that day, he took the dog to our house! More surprise, he couldn't choose one or the other, so he took both of the two ones, one a female and the other a male! My mum was entranced by their cuteness, so finally she accepted it. (we now couldn't give them back anyway,)
One of them which was going to be called Lobi woke up and went for a wee, looking still sleepy. She was back into her huddling-up-and-sleep system, just like Lobo, the other one. We couldn't figure out which was which at that time.
At night, we gave them their food curiously. As my mum poured the food to their bowls, Lobi started crying and hiding into the toilet. We guessed that it was because she remembered about her mum. We were a bit frightened too.
The next morning, me and my brother woke up earlier than our parents. I guess it was Saturday. We found Lobi and Lobo  under the diner table chewing their dog gums that we had bought. They didn't have several of their teeth, and we thought that was why they chewed them so furiously. We went to play our computer game, and silently, when we were concentrating to our games, Lobi and Lobo came beside us, and slept under the chair. My brother found them and we both nearly fought to stroke them.
During the week, we went to have a walk, they had to get some injections, we washed them, and we did lots of different things to them. They were all new experiments to us. After a week, they grew a lot. After another week, and another... At summer, we took them to the beach, and they swam very well, even though we hadn't taught them. We also took them to swimming pools with large fields. We also tried putting clothes on in the winter to them, because it was so cold. we gave each of them a small carpet that fit them just on.
After about an year, the sad news came to us. It was that we couldn't keep them in an apartment any more, because the neighbors made their complaints that Lobi and Lobo were too noisy at night! They fought with each other sometimes, so that was probably why! They were so poor. They had to be sent to a man's house, and they had to be in cages! He didn't say that they had to be in cages before we brought them to him. After we brought them to him, he said that if he finishes building his fence around his house, they could be free around his house. I still don't know if they are free or not...
