Harlie's New Puppy

Harlie was eating her breakfast on her birthday, wondering why she didn't get her REAL present yet. Something in the back of her mind told her that her parents had gotten her a puppy but they were just waiting for the right moment to let her know. she had been upset that she hadn't gotten a new puppy over the past 3 years.
"Harlie, we have one more present for you!"
Harlie jumped up and ran to her room, where her parents were waiting for her. she patiently waited on her bed and stared at her parents, wondering if it was a West Highland or a Dalmatian.
"We put together most of our money to buy you the gift you always wanted!"
Harlie was now bouncing up and down, rattling with excitement. she couldn't wait until the furry friend would come out!
"The Tiffany's watch you saw in the window display, we bought it for you!"
Harlie couldn't believe it. A watch? NO PUPPY???? once she was alone she sulked and frowned and wanted to yell at her parents for saving up the money to buy her a watch. she wanted to go sell that watch for a nice brown and white puppy. she also wanted to take the watch, and throw it out the window in front of her parents.
instead, Harlie slowly took a breath and went to talk to her friend Natasha.
"They got me a watch. it was pretty, and i like it...it just isn't a puppy. and there is nothing comparable to a nice furry little friend!" Harlie put her hands over her face and frowned. her friend Natasha had a puppy, why did SHE have one?
"Harlie, maybe your parents weren't up to the idea of having fur all over the place. Maybe a watch was more suitable. Maybe you should just except that the watch is also beautiful and maybe even better than a puppy. my puppy sheds all the time, unlike the watch that is perfect all the time."
Harlie thought about that on her way home. there must have been some reason her parents didn't want her to have a puppy. so she decided that it was time for her to ask.
"Mom, why didn't you buy me a puppy, i was so sure you would."
her mother laughed at her and said, "Harlie, we got you a dog yesterday, but when we heard you talking to Natasha on the phone about the watch being the BEST present, we let Carol keep her for a while until we decided what to do with the small brown-white dog."
Harlie laughed too, then asked her mother if it was possible to get the puppy back. her mother nodded and when they came home, Harlie took a walk outside.
With her small dog, Puny, and her silver Tiffany's watch, she strolled down the street happily.
