My Puppy
I have a puppy.
Her name is Ariel.
Her nickname is Puppy.
She is a Blenheim Saint Charles Cavalier
Spaniel.
There are three different King Charles Cavalier Spaniels.
There is Blenheim, Tri color, and Ruby, and Black and Tan.
The Blenheim is the one that looks chestnut and pearly white.
The Tri color is the one that looks black and black and white.
The Red is the one that looks red.
I got her for my eighth birthday from my mom.
We had to go all the way past Chicago to get her.
When we first got her, my mom had to sign a contract saying that we wouldn't breed her.
We couldn't breed her because it's against the law to breed a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel anywhere, except Ireland and England, because that's where they came from.
So she had to have surgery, so she wouldn't have puppies.
The day we realized that it was time for her to have surgery, was the night my mom and I were in the kitchen with her, and all of the sudden blood started to drip from her rear end!
So the next morning, one of my nannies took her to the Bradley Animal Hospital, so she could have her surgery. When they did the surgery on her, they took out her bag that held the puppies.
My mom once said "She's devoted to you.”
She's very cute.
She's very lovable.
She's very friendly.
She's very smart.
She's very playful.
She's very sweet.
She's very funny.
She really tries her best all the time.
She's the best!
I love my puppy and she loves me!
