The owner thought I did such a nice job that he told all his friends. I've been in business almost a year and I'm so busy. Every Saturday I have about seven dog washing appointments. I hope to save enough money to buy a pet store some day. What would be a good topic sentence for this paragraph? 

My Own business
Last summer I started my dog washing business. 
Mom helped me with my business.
I have lots of dogs to wash on Saturday.
