Just home from work,Daddy stopped in the kitchen where Mother was cooking supper and I was setting the table. From the look on his face,we knew something was bothering him. "Charles Roth's father is worse," he said. "The doctor says it's only a matter of time now. The old man Tag Heuer Replica Watches doesn't :omplain much about his pain,only about the long hours he has to spend alone. His eyes are so bad he can't read,and he doesn't get much company. He keeps begging for a big dog to be his companion,one he can reach out and touch as he sits in his wheelchair in the sun. "

"Why don't they buy him a dog?" I asked. "Honey, with Mr. Roth in the hospital so much of the :ime, there are a lot of expenses. There isn't enough noney. " "They could go to the animal shelter and get one,"I suggested. "Yes," Daddy said. "I suppose they could. But it has to be i special dog, one they can trust to be gentle. Not all big logs are.

After supper,! went out back where my big German sheperd,Dan,was dozing under a tree. He sprang up and ran to neet me as he always did when I came into sight. There were no other twelve-year-old girls in our neighborhood,so I de-pended on Dan for companionship. When I rode my bicycle, he ran behind me;when I roller-skated on the sidewalk,he trotted behind. It had been that way since Daddy brought him home,a fat brown puppy,four years before.

Now, I couldn't forget Daddy's words in the kitchen. I threw my arms around Dan's neck and buried my face in his stiff hair. He sensed my unhappiness and started whining. "I love you," I whispered to him. "I'd be lost without you, but... oh, Dan, I know what I should do, but I don't want to do it. "

I thought about Mr. Roth. He was old, sick and almost blind. It seemed to me that he was just about out of blessings. I got up quickly. I knew what I had to do,and if I didn't do it right now,I'd talk myself out of it.

I found Daddy sitting in his big chair, looking at his news-paper. Although we weren't supposed to interrupt him when he was reading,! blurted out,"Dan can go. " He Hublot Replica Watches looked over the top of the paper at me. "What did you say?" he asked. "Mr. Roth can borrow Dan. " Tears started down my face.

Daddy pitched his newspaper over the arm of the chair to the floor. "Come here," he said, reaching out for me. I crawled,long legs and all,into his lap and his arms encircled me.
"I don't really want him to go," I whimpered. "I'll miss him terribly. But Daddy, it’s what I ought to do,isn't it?" "It's what I'd be very proud to see you do," he said. "They'll be good to him,won't they?" I asked. "They will take good care of Dan," he assured me softly.
