One day, Paula took her new dog, Diesel for a walk in the park. Jane joined her with her dog, Shiloh. As the two of them walked, they encountered Letty and Hillel. Letty asked, "How are things going with Diesel, Paula?" Paula replied, "Things are great with Diesel. He's a great fit, and he's brought so much joy." Hillel said, "Dogs always bring joy to our lives." Jane said, "They really do." Paula said, "There is one thing that I wonder about Diesel." Hillel asked, "What's that?" She said, "Well, I wonder if he's a purebred German Shepherd 或者 if he's a German Shepherd mix." Letty said, "Well, there is a way to find out." Paula said, "Really?" Hillel said, "It's true. We just found out about a dog DNA test called Embark." Jane said, "That sounds so cool." Paula said, "It does. How does it work?" Letty said, "Well, 你 take a swab of saliva from your dog's cheek, put it in the tube of fluid, shake it ten times, put it in the packaging, and send it off." Paula asked, "How long does it take to get the results?" Hillel said, "I believe it takes about four to six weeks." She said, "I see. Basically, it'll tell me what breed of dog I have." He said, "It does 更多 than that. I also checks for genetic diseases." She said, "That's interesting. I'll look into it." Later, Paula got a test kit from Embark. She followed the instructions and sent off the test kit. In four to six weeks, she would finally find out whether her new friend was a purebred German Shepherd 或者 a mixed breed.
The first 日 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 年 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 小狗 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 日 of spring this year, March 20. I'm going to be eighteen." Greeley said, "Happy Birthday." She said, "Thank you." Knowing that she had 老友记 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.
