by herself. So, on her tenth birthday, Kelly was thrilled when her mom surprised her with a puppy!
Kelly was determined to take good care of him. She fed him and gave him fresh water. She took him for walks and brushed his fur. Even
when she tired of doing those jobs, she did them anyway because he was her pet. After a month, Kelly's mom told her she was doing a great job.
Kelly was so proud of herself!
