The dog-Poodle

Last Sunday I didn't have my tuition so I went out with my family and my father cousin for breakfast.After that My father's cousin went to a pet shop to buy some food for her dog and "hair cutting"~ suddenly i saw a little puppy called Poodle was so cute that i just want it right at that time!!! My father&mother were also very interested in this dog too.It was is brown color and its hair was short.It is a very cute dog and I have to spent RM1200 to buy it! So, from now i have to be very careful about spending money to buy the dog that I like it very much^^
Doesn't it cute??? wow i just want it to accompany me everyday,maybe this time my mum will agree to fed this dog,bcoz it is so "cheap"~~
It just like a teddy bear when it doesn't move! I like it very much
