I will never forget the first pet we ever had.
My family and I had lived in a apartment forever, and I didn't allow pet.
Finally one summer we moved into our own home.
It was a small bungalow in the city.
It look us a while to get moved in and feel like we had ownership of the place.
My mother, for example, continued to say,"Turn down the music;you will disturb the people upstairs.
Finally it dawned on us-the house belonged to us.
We could do whatever we wanted, including having a pet.
