I could have easily gone through life without getting to know one of the most romantic feelings---love for a dog.
For at least ten years my _______ had been suggesting that we get a dog. There were several reasons why the idea _______. We had noticed that, on our block, couples with no children as a rule _______ one large or two small dogs. So we got one puppy _______ we too had no children.
He flew into the house with the _______ of a Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车). In several minutes he ran over all the house, _______ from my shoulder onto the bed, and ended up in the _______, where my wife washed him with motherly _______. From that day on, the invisible(看不见的) _______ for the love of the new member of our household began at my home.
He seemed to ________ that at once. Most of the meals that my wife had ________ for him with greater care than those for me—he didn’t ________ look at.
Every evening I went out walking with him. I could not know who was walking whom ________ one evening, when, tired from work, I ________ the walk. The dog was very angry and dragged me out.
Last night our dog pulled me by the ear with his teeth, ________ me up in my dream, and dragged me into the kitchen to make me turn off the ________ which had disturbed(干扰) his sleep. I meekly(乖乖地) ________ that I had forgotten to switch off the light, but that was not ________. He looked at me like a teacher at a pupil who repeatedly makes ________.
Now we finally know who’s the ________ at home, and for twenty years we had seriously argued whether it was my wife or I.
