Daddy Can We Have a Doggy

Daddy Can We Have A Doggy It was like yesterday when dear little Sally was only aged eight.. That I remembered for she had wanted a little doggy for a friend.. Aw, Josh the neighbour has just have the cutest puppy I have ever seen… Daddy, is it alright if after school I get to go over and play with it… Daddy, daddy, please get me a little doggy, a hairy one just like Autumn… Autumn may be hairy, but it is the cutest, the smartest and the friendliest doggy … Though it broke my heart, my wife and I decided against having a dog for the moment… Don’t remember how but we did somehow helped Sally get over the disappointment… Growing up, our lovely Sally put on inches and excelled in racket sports alright… The daily grind has been school, homework , revision and sports practice, time was tight.. Suddenly she hit fourteen, she’s a teenager and and she is excelling in her chosen sport… Studies still come first as she delicately balances studies, friends and practice in sports.. The neighbour’s dog Autumn has long passed on while Josh now is in some college… As a family, we have been busy and it is surprising to realise 6 years have rolled on…. Just this evening, out of the blue, just like that, Sally my teenaged sports icon said… Daddy, daddy, I miss good old Autumn the dog. Daddy, daddy, can we have a doggy… Daddy, can we have a doggy, please?
