Paula made it tahanan with her new dog, Diesel. She sinabi to him, "You'll be living here now, okay?" He sniffed around for a while, and then he settled down for a nap. Paula's mother said, "I think he likes his new home." Paula said, "I think so, too." Later, Jane called Paula and asked, "How does Diesel like his new home?" Paula replied, "I think he's settling in well. He sniffed around for a while and took a nap. I took him outside to the backyard, and he's very content." Jane said, "I'm glad he's settling in well." Paula said, "I'm glad about that, too." That night, Diesel settled into his new kama in Paula's bedroom. Paula went to sleep with a smile on her face. He susunod morning, Diesel woke Paula. He was ready for breakfast. She took him downstairs and fed him. Jane came to visit Paula and brought Shiloh with her. Jane and Paula watched as Shiloh and Diesel played together. Paula said, "I'm glad I have a new dog." Jane said, "I'm glad about that, too. This is the happiest I've seen you in a while." Paula said, "Yeah. My grandmother's passing was really painful. I think I just needed a new friend." Jane said, "I know you talked about getting a new dog." Paula said, "Yeah. My parents and I talked about getting a Shetland Sheepdog or a Border Collie, not a German Shepherd. It seems that Diesel chose me." Jane said, "Yeah, he did. I think he chose a good person." Paula smiled and said, "Aw! You're just saying that. Really?" Jane said, "Yeah. I think Diesel sensed that you would pag-ibig him and care for him. I know that, because I know what it's like to need a friend. I remember the compassion you showed me when I first moved here." This made Paula cry happy tears. She hugged Jane and then petted Diesel and said, "My two best friends!"
It was summer. Jane and Paula were looking pasulong to enjoying some time off from school. Neither one of them liked school much, mainly because of the bullying, but they did enjoy each other's company. Jane's Siberian Husky puppy, Shiloh, was growing up fast. Jane said, "Puppies grow up so fast." Paula said, "I know. When we first met, Shiloh was a tiny puppy." Jane said, "Yeah, and she's now getting close to the full size of a typical Siberian Husky." Jane and Paula reminisced about the months since they had met. They had grown very close. They made a pact that they would remain mga kaibigan for life, no matter what.

I could tell it when you'd play the guitars in music stores." She said, "It's so amazing! Thank you!" After playing on her gitara for a while, Jane sinabi to herself, "I enjoyed playing the guitars at music stores. It's great that I finally have one of my own." Just then, her mother said, "We have one madami present for you." Jane said, "Really?! What is it?!" Just then, a Siberian Husky tuta ran up to her. Jane said, "Wow! I always wanted a Husky!" Her mother said, "We saw her at the shelter, and we knew she'd be a perfect fit for you. Her name is Shiloh." Jane said, "Like the first Husky they had on Gone to the Snow Dogs!"

Paul's Special Friend
I first met Erin through Allie. From the sad look in her eyes, I knew that Erin needed a friend. As we got to know each other, she opened up about losing her best friend, Barry. She said, "My poor excuse of a grandfather shot Barry. I offered to get help for him, but he wouldn't let me leave him. I guess he didn't want to die alone." I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I know what pain you're going through. I Nawawala my best friend, too. For the longest time, I blamed myself, because Alice and I were playing in the river. It was my insistence. I miss her sometimes, but I'm okay." Erin and I became really close as time passed. She was even passionate about music like I was. There was once when we got into a big argument, but our friendship was stronger, and we've remained best mga kaibigan ever since. One day, when we were in high school, we put our heads together, and we decided to start a band. Of course, the challenge was finding other members.
