The air was blisteringly hot at almost ninety-eight degrees, and even the wind blew hot on my skin. I was…

It’s almost every little kid’s dream to have a puppy while growing up. I was lucky to be one of those kid’s. Before I was born my parents already had a chocolate lab named Abenea. She was the sweetest dog until she got hit by a car when I was 6. After that I was a dog less kid, which wasn’t bad thing, but I would always beg my parents for one.
