After dinner and chores I went back out to see how Lucky was doing. At dinner I asked my brother Tyler if he could get some of the ticks off behind my mother back. We weren't aloud to have pets because '' it was to much work'' my mother always said. I sat down next to Lucky and stroked the fur that wasn't dirty. About a half an hour later the rusty old door open and I saw Tyler coming down with materials. ''This is one dirty cat, by the way where did you find him?'' '' Near the bushes over in the woods.'' Tyler got all of the ticks off and looked worried. '' Whats the matter Ty?'' '' Do you really think moms gonna let you keep him?'' '' No. I sighed. Tyler got up and I could hear him faintly talking to mom. '' I hope he doesn't tell mom about Lucky. Lucky rolled upsidedown and wanted to be patted. I waited nervously until mom called me in for bed.
