It was a very cold winter day. I listened to the heater working and zipped up my sweater. All my work done, I just wanted to relax and1in my nice warm bed. I placed a2behind my head and opened up my book. I laid back and got ready to take it3. But life rarely goes according to4.
"Sweetie, No!" My son yelled from the living room. Suddenly a four-legged ball of fur5in my bedroom. She jumped on my bed and6herself behind the pillow. "Sweetie, what're you doing?" I asked. She7her head on my shoulder and just looked at me8with her ears down and her eyes narrowed. I laughed when I saw her this9and petted her head to let her know that I10her. Already that day she had thrown up some food,11the corner of my quilt, and peed (尿) on the floor. I kept petting her while her body12and her resting guilty face slowly turned happy. Then she13licked my hand and cheek with her tongue. I laughed again.
I sometimes wonder what my14 would be like without dogs in it. My house would surely be15: the furniture wouldn't be chewed on, the floors wouldn't be16. But I would also have less17, less love, and less joy in my life. Of all the blessings and gifts in my life, I will always place a18on dogs. I will take a dog's love and a19house any day of the week. "Sweetie, I love you, even though you are one20dog. You are my best friend and greatest teacher of love."
