Ending sentences can (B) express how we feel about the topic, Example: I love going to school. STOP

Ending sentences can (C) express what we think about the topic. Example: I think school is important for kids. STOP

Dirty Playful German shepard Nice Obedient Patient Protective Lovely Still Wet nose Panting

My German Shepard, Lilo, loves to play ball. She sees me coming with the ball, and her tail starts to wag continuously. Sometimes she waits very patiently, other times, she jumps around like she ate too much candy. When I throw the ball, she retrieves it and obediently sets it back near my feet. She will even fetch the ball when it goes in the dirty water. I love to play ball with my dog.
