It was summer, and my フレンズ and I were out of school. One day, my parents decided that they would let me have a dog. I had always wanted a dog. They took me to a local shelter to look at puppies. As I was looking, I saw a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. His コート colour was ruby, which is a red/brown. I thought about getting him. I then saw a Dachshund there, and I fell in 愛 with him. I named him Oliver, for Oliver Twist. Andrea and Marie got to meet him after I got him. Oliver was a vocal dog. He would've barked all 日 and all night if I didn't tell him to be quiet. He had a loud, high-pitched bark. When I had me ears cleaned out, I was really aware of how loud he was. He was also notoriously stubborn. It took a 年 and a half to housebreak him. Despite all of his faults, Oliver was a wonderful dog. He was incredibly loyal. He loved to wake me up in the morning. He would jump into my bed, (my ベッド is low to the ground), and lick my face. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't. He also loved to go for walks, especially if Andrea came along with her dogs. Oliver especially got along with Diesel. It was comical to watch them play together. At some moments, Oliver's entire head would be in Diesel's mouth. However, Diesel was always very gentle with Oliver. I suppose Diesel knew that Oliver was little, so he couldn't play rough like he could with Fluffy and Sadie.
