In early September to my surprise, my doctor told me that I could keep a pet as my friend, because my immune system (免疫系统) was strong to keep a pet.

The same day I went to an animal market with my friends. When I saw a 9-week-old dog with big brown eyes, nice ears and white fur all over the body, I took him home. I called him Oscar. I’m happy these days since Oscar came into my life. My new favourite pastime is to watch him sleep, eat and run. And I have been spending more time caring about him, taking long walks with him in the park.
