The Collins Family

The Collins family had owned a cat for a very long time, and her

name was Kitty. The Collins’ youngest daughter, Kailey, really
wanted a dog, but the Collins had to say no, because of Kitty.
Then one day, Kailey got a really good grade at school and
demanded a dog as her reward. As soon as the Collins brought

the dog home, he was really feisty and Kitty got scared and
disappeared. Kitty kept hiding in different spots in order to avoid
the dog as much as possible, and she would stand as close as
she could to her owners if the dog came into the room. Then

one day, Kitty was really ill, and the dog looked after her. He let
her sleep in his bed and brought her food and water, and they
became friends.
