When I was born I had a dog named “Teddy.” He was a dog like Lassie from Lassie, Come Home. Teddy and I<br />
used to chase the mailman, and Teddy would usually rip his pants. This used to be my morning entertainment. On<br />
Sundays we annoyed the little girl down the street.<br />
One day my parents told me that we were moving away and Teddy couldn’t come with us. They told me he would<br />
go with my loving babysitter. I hated that woman with every bone in my body. She was a vile person. So when he<br />
had to move to my disgusting babysitter’s house, my parents bought me a bear. I named it “Teddy” so I would al-<br />
ways remember him. The bear was so soft and plush. It was light brown with deep chocolate eyes. To me, the bear<br />
always smiled.<br />
Two years later Teddy died and then the bear seemed to frown. Teddy the bear still sits in my closet, in his arms<br />
a picture of me and Teddy rests.<br />
