Dragging my feet to the door, as if there were two metal weights chained to my ankle. 'Finally Home!' I thought. The key seemed to shine like gold when I finally dug it out of my pocket, it was the key to 'heaven'. Inserting the key to the 'treasure box', I suddenly heard an unfamiliar sound. A gentle, soothing, and innocent sound, so lovable that I brushed the thought aside thinking that I was dreaming.

The key and the treasure box fit like jigsaw puzzles, Heaven is within my reach, my wonderful sofa...

I opened the door, and i heard that angelic sound once again. But this time I was sure i was not dreaming. Accompanying that cute soothing sound, was a ball of golden brown fur, with a feather duster that would never seem to stop swagging. It then came to my realization that the 'sound' i heard was not just a 'sound'. It was a bark. A bark so cute and pure, that it surged a thousand-watt smile onto my school stricken face. It was the first time i set eyes on her, my beautiful Toffee.
