Memoir 2

One cold winter day my dad said that he wanted to go look at dogs. My brother Logan went with him. They went to a trailer park and the place was loaded security cameras. The man said they had the cameras because a few days earlier someone had shot one of the man’s dogs! Logan and my dad went inside the trailer home and there were big dogs and puppies running around everywhere. There was dog poop and food scattered all around the floor. My dad thought he had stepped in some! The man said that Logan could pick out what ever dog he wanted. Logan picked the only one that was not running around. She was a chocolate lab puppy and had ocean blue eyes. My dad and brother left as fast as they could. My mom and I were at home thinking of names for a chocolate lab. We had decided on Coco or Tori. I called my dad and Logan picked up. I asked, “So have you decided on a name yet?”

            He said, “Yeah, I want to name her Chloe.” At least that is what I thought he said.

He really said, “ Yeah, I want to name it Cody.”

            I replied, “Ok,” and hung up the phone. My mom asked what he said.

            I responded, “ Her name is Chloe.”

           

            A few minutes later Dad and Logan came home. Logan yelled happily, “This is Cody!”

            “What!?!?” was all I said.

            “I said, this is Cody!” he yelled even louder.

            “I thought her name was Chloe. You do know that it is a girl right?”

            “Oh. I didn’t know that!”

            Our family decided on calling her Chloe but my mom still wanted to name her Coco. Chloe is a very energetic dog now. She is 2 years old and is still all puppy. Every once in awhile we will find a shoe that belongs to the neighbors. She is an amazing dog and my best friend.
