When I woke up this morning, I found my dog, Fox, waiting for me. Hewanted 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 washed my teeth and puton a track-suit and a heavy coat, because it was really cold outside. Fox wasalready impatient. We both went out, and walked to the park near home. Heran and jumped, and pursued some passers-by. He also destroyed some pieces of furniture somebody left on the road. I sat on a bench all the time,wishing I could be inside my warm bed. When my hands were frozen, Idecided it was time to go back home. Fox didn’t want to, but I pulled hardand I managed to take him back. When we arrived at the front door, Irealized I didn’t have my keys with me, so we stayed out in the cold formore than an hour! Fox was happy, but I was late for work!
