My Best Friend Is My Mate [Rewriting?]

[1] "Mr Puppy, Its Okay."

"Its your 6th birthday Sweet Heart! What would you like??" My mothers voice would ask as I sat up from the couch. I thought about it for a second before grinning. "I want a puppy!" I exclaimed. I had wanted a puppy since my cousin had a pup. The puppy was a German Shepard and he was so fluffy and cuddly! Mommy and Daddy looked at each other unsure and I frowned. "I'm never gonna get one." I pouted. I had been asking for a puppy for months, years even. Mommy sighed and picked me up. "C'mon Sweetie."

I nodded, still pouting to try and convince them before Daddy grabbed the keys and we slipped on our jackets. I pulled on my boots and stomped outside in the snow. My birthday always had snow. December 19th. I climbed into my carseat before Mommy came over and buckled me in. Once I was secured, Mama climbed into the passenger and Daddy started the car. We were driving when my favorite song came on. "Rudolph, The Red Nose Reindeer!"I cheered.

Daddy unbuckled me before I jumped into his arms and he chuckled. I gasped when I looked up at the shops name. "The pet shelter?! I'm gonna get a puppy! I'm gonna get a puppy!" I chanted bouncing in Daddy's arms. Daddy set me down in the store, which happened to be a big mistake considering I took off towards the puppy section and Mama had to chase after me. I looked at the big windows and saw puppies crowded around in them. They were playing with each other and it was so cute.

I passed each one and I placed my nose on a cage where it had a German Shepard. I could have a twin puppy like my cousin Sarah. I giggled as it licked the glass but I looked at the one next to it. I tilted my head in confusion as I saw a puppy in the corner. He looked like a husky but had a different type of coat. I was interested in him, and if I wasn't mistaken, I felt a weird connection to him. Surprisingly, he was all dirty, in mud and such. Didn't the shelter clean him? I sat down and lightly knocked at the glass. The puppy didn't turn back but his right ear did.

"Mr. Puppy, Its okay. I'm not gonna hurt you. You can come out." He looked behind at me and I giggled. His mood flipped as he stuck his tongue out and yipped. He ran up to the glass and licked the glass while placing his paws up. I put my two hands on his paws and smiled. "Mama! I want this one! " She walked over and immediately frowned. "He's gonna grow really big. He's also really dirty." I had glared at her. I honestly didn't care. "I want him!" I was getting ready to start a tantrum and I rarely did that. She sighs before nodding and waving Daddy over.

I grin before a squeal comes out. I sit on my knees and put my hands back on the glass. "You want little Spot here?"The store clerk guy chuckled and picked him up before he placed him in my arms. I grin and lifted him up before saying: "Im going to call you...Coco...No something tells me Luke. Lukey." I decided on his name as he licks my face excitedly and barked. I held him tight to me before we head to the accessories isle. "Hmm...Oh, I like this black one. Do you Lukey?" I grabbed the black collar with white circles on it. He barks and I nod before grabbing two red bowls and a black leash to match.

I take it to Daddy and he pays for it before asking me which ID picture I liked on the computer screen. I thought for a moment before I picked the ID picture that was shaped like a bell. Daddy told him some information as I sat on the floor and played with my puppy. Luke was perfect in my opinion. He purred at my touch and I loved his brown eyes which did in fact have some gold. Daddy leaned down and handed me his collar. I smiled before putting it around his neck. Luke then barked excitedly, wagging his tail. I giggled before I picked him up again and Daddy gave the man money. We waved goodbye before going in the parking lot and getting in the car.

Luke sat right in my lap, while Mommy seat buckled me and I heard quiet snores. I felt safe with him. He had this connection with me I hope would never leave...My eyes slowly closed as we listened to christmas songs. Goodnight Lukey...
