No.23 My Dog-Pipi I have a dog named Pipi(皮皮) , it means 'naughty'.It is a boy, a gentle poodle. He has been lived with us for more than four years. We met him in a pet home, about three months old, rolling around, jumping, running. We decided that was it. When we arrived home, he followed us everywhere. At night he jumped on my daughter's bed, and wanted to sleep with his sister. He got a very serious illness a week after he went home. We sent him to the vet. He stayed here for seven days. Finally, he recovered. We cuddled him and went home. Pipi likes to run outside. He has two best friends. One was Locky, another is Lucky. Unfortunately, Locky was sent to someone because his mum did not have enough time to take care of him. We do not know where he is now. Pipi and Lucky run in the yard, sometimes they play 'peek and seek', they are so happy. My little Pipi is so smart. One night, he barked and barked, I could not sleep. I , got up and asked him: 'Hey, little buddy, why are you so noisy.' Then I noticed the door was open. Oh, he was reminding me that I forgot closed the door. Pipi likes music too. One day my daughter played the Ocarina, Pipi said 'woof woof ' with melody. When I play the piano, he stayed on my legs and keeps quiet Every night when my son arrives at the building, he becomes excited and runs down the downstairs to welcome his brother. My little Pipi, we really really love you. He also loves us unconditionally! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In my community, many families have dogs or cats, they take them as their children.
