When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie, in return. loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them .We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, ”Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us .People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she lovely everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.

It was pouring outside. We all stood there 26 , some patiently , others annoyed 27 nature messed up (弄糟) their hurried day . I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens 28 away the dirt and dust of the world.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice 29 me.
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it 30 down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and 31 : “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she 32 her Mom’s arm.
“This morning? 33 did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,” If God can get us through this, he can get us through 34 .”
The entire crowd turned 35 . Mom paused and thought for a moment about 36 she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being 37 . But then we heard, “Honey, you are 38 . Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then 39 they ran.
We all stood 40 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were 41 by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the 42 to their cars. Circumstances (境况) or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your 43 . But no one can ever take away your precious 44 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the 45 to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.
