I was talked into babysitting a neighbor’s prized pooch for the summer. At first, I tried my best to squelch out of the favor, but I eventually gave in. When Sam came to my house, I actually hated it.

But then I got to looking for inexpensive dog supplies, and I then was having so much fun feeding and grooming him. I was almost torn apart when my neighbor came back to claim him. Now I am looking to get a dog of my own.
