Every kid needs a pet
When I was little, maybe four years old, we had a dog named Nicki. It was black and was part cocker spaniel and part something else. I liked that dog a lot, but I don’t remember too much about it, because I was so young. And it wasn’t long after that that we lost the dog. I think it was hit by a car.
