What's this about a new dog??!!

             A couple months after my beloved Greater Swiss Mountain Dog named Max died, I had wanted a new dog to fill the empty hole in my heart that Max's death had left behind. So one day, I believe it was in November of 2010, my older brother Michael had told us that his friend's dog was going to have puppies. I was extremely excited. Then the day before my 21st birthday (November 22) Michael had brought pictures of the puppy, who was a Rottweiler. Boy was she a cute puppy! She was also very small, but I knew that she wouldn't stay small forever. Then just yesterday (December 13), Michael came home with a box and a suspicious grin on his face. I had thought that he had bought me alcohol, but to my amazement he had brought home our new puppy! He brought her home since the person who bred the dog's power went out the night before.
