In 2004, my husband, Joe and I worked in a design company in Arizona. One day, when we got back home after work, my ten-year-old daughter, Becky and Joe were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of theirs.

But why, they pleaded(懇求). “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” “But we’ll do it.” “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” “Yes, yes, and yes. ” “I don’t believe you.” “We will. We promise.”

They didn’t. Everyone wanted to walk the cute dog that first day. From day two, neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life, she calculated, “The medium one is the most reliable.”

Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心靈相通). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, send her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand—which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she would extend across my stomach as I watched television, and snored on my home-office couch as I worked on my design.

Even so, part of me continued to reject walking duty, Joe and Becky had promised. “Not fair”, I said to myself as she and I walked. “Not fair,” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.

In September, 2008, the Great Depression hit the Arizona. With that, my husband and I were both laid off overnight. During the following six months, Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job, doing anything and everything we could to request employment. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. However, Misty still needed walking.

Last month, my parents and I was invited to my uncle’s home in America. My uncle, who moves to America when I was five, has been living there for nearly twenty years. She met us in the airport. I was exciting when I set my foot on the land of America. In following days, we visited to some places of interest and took photo in front of the Statue of Liberty. We all enjoyed visiting the Museum of Natural History so it enriched our knowledge great. For me, this is one of the most rewarding trips which I have ever made in my life and I look forward to going there again.
