“Beto’s
day”
When I woke up this morning, I found my dog, Cacho, waiting for me.
He wanted me to take him for a walk. I was too hungry, so first I had
breakfast. I had a glass of milk and a piece of toast. Then I brushed my
teeth and put on a
track suit
and a
heavy coat because it was really cold
outside. Cacho was already impatient.
We both went out and walked to the park near home. He ran and jumped
and
pursued
some
passersby
. He also destroyed some pieces of
furniture somebody left on the road. I sat on a bench all the time, wishing
I could be in my warm bed.
When my hands were frozen, I decided it was time to go back to home.
Cacho did not want to, but I pulled hard and I
managed to take him back. When we arrived at the
front door, I realized I didn´t have my keys with me,
so we stayed out in the cold for more than an hour.
Cacho was happy but I was late for work!
