    Sammy was eagerly waiting for his dog's puppies. He took care of her daily, feeding her and making sure she was comfortable.

    His labrador, Daisy, was pregnant. Her belly was getting bigger each day and Sammy could hardly contain his excitement.

    One day, Daisy started whining. Sammy knew it was time. He rushed to call his parents, his heart pounding with excitement and worry.

    The birth was a long process. Sammy stayed by Daisy's side, offering her comfort and warmth. He whispered words of encouragement to her, even though he was scared.

    Finally, Daisy gave birth to five adorable puppies. Sammy was overjoyed. He held one in his hands, marveling at its tiny size and gentle heartbeat.

    Each puppy was unique, with different shades of golden coats. Sammy named them - Daisy Jr., Goldie, Sunny, Honey, and Nugget.

    Sammy spent his days playing with the puppies. They would run around the yard, chasing each other and making Sammy laugh.

    He also took care of them, feeding them, bathing them, and teaching them commands just like he did with Daisy.

    As days passed, the puppies grew. They learned to bark, to fetch, and to follow Sammy around the yard.

    Sammy was proud of them. He knew he had done a good job taking care of them, just like he did with Daisy.
