The beggining

Hi, my name is Templeton. I am a pet rat and I joined the Sherman family a little over a year ago, it was the beggining of a new adventure. This girl named Emily met me towards the end of the school year. She already had 3 pets at that time, but she decided 3 wasn't enough! So Emily asked my owner (a third grade teacher Mrs. Jones) if she could take me home for the summer, Mrs. Jones replyed, "sure as long as it is okay with your mom."
So Emily went home and talked to her mom, she didn't sound to exited but she thought it'll just be for the summer so she said, "I guess." Emily was soooo exited. Later that week on the last day of school, Emily her brother Luke and there mom met with Mrs. Jones. There mom was surprised to see how big I was, she thought i was going to be tiny. so that evening i went home with them. I was kind of scared for the first couple of weeks, but than i figured out that they are verey good with animals.
Later that summer they realized that they could handle more pets so the got a couple of hampsters. At the end of the summer, it was time for me to go back school. When Mrs. Jones saw me, she realized that Emily and her family took well care of, so she said that i could go home with them over the weekends. At that moment I realized that that that was only the beggining of a new adventure.
