(1) Last summer, my sister and I were walking home from our baseball game when we spotted a stray cat by the side of the road. (
2) The cat looked dirty and scared (3) I walked toward him, but he backed away as I got closer. (4) We rushed home to tell our parents about the cat and to ask if we could keep it. (5) Our parents agreed that the cat should not stay on the road, but they did not know if they wanted a pet. (6) My dad walked up the road and put the cat in a pet carrier.) We took him to an animal doctor. (8) She inspected the cat and told us that there was nothing wrong with him. (9) The workers in the office gave him a bath and some medicine. (10) My dad told us we could have the cat if we promised always to take good care of him. (11) Dexter still lives with us, and he is a wonderful pet (12) We were so excited!
