Today I have to join the majority and talk about a topic I am not very fond of: pets.

In fact I don’t like pets much because they take a lot of your time. I always said I would never have a pet, but once I had one. And here is the story.

 I went to a spring fair and a woman was selling puppies. I fell in love with one of them and bought her. Her name was Fama, and she was so cute and lovely.   Her breed was  dachshund,   which is a type of small dog with very short legs, a long body, and long ears.

We played together, and I think what she enjoyed the most was the time when I bathed her. One day she disappeared. I was sad, and spent the whole day looking for her. At night, when I had already cried and lost hope that I would ever see her again, she jumped out of my closet when I opened it. It is impossible to describe how happy we both were.

I do not regret having bought her, except for one thing. When she got old, she died, and I suffered a lot when I saw she was losing her ability to jump when she saw me. This is the sad part   because this is the only pet I have ever had, and I think I will never have another one because I know I will suffer again.

I do not know why people have pets, but when I but her I was in a lonely period of my life because my husband was doing volunteer work in Jamaica. I think that could explain why I had my little dog. I have read that people have pets to satisfy their need for company. Maybe there is a bit of truth in this idea.
