My Special Christmas Gift

My Special Christmas Gift

          It was a cold winter day in the month of December. It felt like every other day, but that day was very exciting; something that happens to people every so often. My family and I were going to meet a dog breeder that had several cute Dachshunds. This made me think that we were getting another dog.

          When I got in the car with Kendall (my sister), we started freaking out, thinking we were going to get another dog. At that time, we had two other dogs, Jack and Maggie. Jack was a Jack Russell Terrier (the name makes sense now XD) and Maggie was a short haired, black and tan Dachshund. Once we started heading to the dog breeder's house, Kendall and I chatted away about the dogs until we got there.

          As soon as we got inside the house, tons of dogs were barking like crazy! They almost gave me a headache. Then, my family and I got to meet the dogs. The one that stuck out the most was Chandler. He was a long haired, black and tan Dachshund that BARLEY weighed anything! That little guy was so light when he was picked up. But his face was very cute, along with his furry body. The other dogs were still cute and all, but Chandler caught my eye. I didn't want to let go of him!

          After what felt like five minutes, we had to leave, but something exciting happened. My parents adopted Chandler!! Once again, Kendall and I freaked out and we were very thankful. They told us that this was our main Christmas present. I was very happy, and I still am today. Once we got in the car, we decided to give him a new name. We all decided on Otto. It is a great name for a dog like this one.

          When we settled down at home, I didn't want to let go of Otto, and he wouldn't want to leave me. We now have a very close connection since that day. Also, Otto loves to sleep with me at night ever since he didn't have to sleep in a cage anymore. Lastly, whenever I'm upset, he comes to me and helps me feel better. I love that dog so much. I can't think of a present that is better than an amazing dog!
