Smokey

I have had Smokey for about eight years. She is a West Highland terrier. She is very cute and funny. We throw a ball in the air and she sort of plays soccer and pushes it off with her nose. I guess my Mom taught her. The most annoying thing she does is bark!

How did I get her? When I was younger I couldn’t eat a lot a food. My Mom said if I could eat a whole sandwich in one sitting I could get a dog. So, I finished a sandwich one night–it was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on hallah bread–and after that my Mom said, "OK, you can get a dog," and I was very excited. My grandma picked it out. My grandpa wanted to get a male dog, but grandma said, "No, a female dog is better!" So that is how I got Smokey.
