After waking up from her nap, Leila decided to freshen up before dinner. Leila, Greeley, and Leila's aunt and uncle decided to have খাবার delivered for dinner. While they were waiting, Greeley asked Leila, "How did আপনি get your dog, Paul?" She said, "It was a couple of weeks before my senior prom. I was driving home, and I saw him on the side of the road. He was injured, and he wasn't putting weight on his left front paw. If আপনি look closely, আপনি can see that he has a scar on that paw." Greeley looked at Paul's left front paw and said, "I can see it." Leila said, "Anyway, I had some খাবার with me, and I fed him. He was hungry. I took him to the vet, and his injuries were treated. I then adopted him." Greeley said, "That's nice. I have heard that blue German Shepherds are rare. I don't know how আপনি found one as a stray." She said, "Blue German Shepherds aren't really rare, but they are considered a fault in the প্রদর্শনী ring. They're also frowned upon দ্বারা breeders of working line German Shepherds, which explains why they're not as জনপ্রিয় as black and tan, bicolor, অথবা even sable German Shepherds." Greeley asked, "What line do আপনি think Paul came from?" She said, "I think he came from an Eastern European working line. That explains why he has a big head, and he's so broad in the chest area, but he doesn't weigh one hundred pounds like American German Shepherds. He's big, but not too big." Greeley said, "That's interesting." After ডিনার arrived, and they ate, Greeley asked, "Do working line German Shepherds have better health than প্রদর্শনী lines?" Leila said, "Usually, yes. They at least have better hips. A lot of প্রদর্শনী line সারমেয় have horrible hips these days." Greeley said, "You know, I noticed that Paul barked at the person delivering our food, but he wasn't aggressive at all." She said, "That's because working line German Shepherds have the perfect temperament. They alert their owners to potential intruders, but they don't attack unless they absolutely need to. Paul seems intimidating to outsiders, but he's really a big teddy bear." She stroked her সারমেয় fur, and he leaned against her in an affectionate manner. A few hours later, everyone decided to call it a night.
The পরবর্তি day, Greeley accompanied Leila and her aunt and uncle on a ride to the nearest beach. Leila's uncle drove. Leila's dog, Paul, enjoyed looking out the window at the sights. When they stopped for lunch, Leila took Paul out on a leash to "do his business". A few people stopped Leila and asked her, "What kind of dog is that?" Most people didn't believe her when she told them that Paul is a purebred German Shepherd Dog. Leila didn't mind, though. She was aware that most people don't know that Shepherds can be blue, especially solid blue like Paul. Around 6:00 that evening, Leila, Greeley, Leila's aunt and uncle, and Paul arrived at the property. It was a nice সৈকত house, and it was very pet friendly. They were all tired from their trip. After unpacking, they got ডিনার and relaxed for the rest of the evening. A few hours later, they called it a night.
Leila and Greeley had just finished their first বছর of college. They were looking অগ্রবর্তী to the summer. Greeley asked, "What are আপনি going to do this summer, Leila?" She said, "I'm mostly going to relax and take it easy. What are আপনি going to do?" He said, "I think I'll do the same, but we should do some fun things this summer. After all, summer doesn't last forever." She said, "You're right. We should do some fun things together." He said, "I'd like that." Later, Leila texted Greeley and said, "My aunt and uncle and I are going to the সৈকত this weekend. They ব্যক্ত that I can bring one friend with me. I first asked Rita, but she can't come, because she's taking summer classes as well as taking on a summer job. Would আপনি like to come with us, Greeley?" He said, "I'd প্রণয় to, Leila." She said, "Great!" He asked, "Is your dog, Paul, going too?" She said, "Of course he is." The two বন্ধু were looking অগ্রবর্তী to their weekend getaway.
The first দিন of spring was approaching. Leila and Greeley were on Spring Break. Leila said, "It doesn't seem possible that we're going to be finished with our first বছর of college in less than two months." He said, "I know." She said, "It's also hard to believe that my dog, Paul, is not a কুকুরছানা anymore. He's fully grown." Greeley said, "They grow up very quickly." She said, "They really do. I also can't believe that my birthday is coming up. It's the first দিন of spring this year, March 20. I'm going to be eighteen." Greeley said, "Happy Birthday." She said, "Thank you." Knowing that she had বন্ধু that she didn't have to say "I thought we were friends" to gave Leila comfort. She also knew that she didn't have to have a romantic relationship to complete her. She has and supportive aunt and uncle and great friends. Because of that, she's not lonely at all.
