"We've got to take a trip to the airport", my mom said. So my sister and I got in the car, while my mom locked the door. I yelled to her, "Where are we going?" She replied, "You’ll see when we get there."

When my mom started the car, all we could hear was the roaring of the engine like a hungry lion.

I looked out the window and we were there. What I saw looked exactly like a truck business. I asked my mom, "Where are we?" She replied, "We are at a pickup center." At that moment I realized we must have been picking up an item.

We walked into the chilled room and there was a crate waiting for us there. The man at the desk asked my mom to sign a piece of paper. It was so quiet you could hear the scarping of the pen on the paper.

I heard a yelp coming from the Pet Taxi. At that moment I knew it was an animal. I thought to myself “Mommy is allergic to cats so it couldn’t be a cat.” So that made me mumble “It has to be a dog”

As the man reached his hand out with the crate my sister raced to get it, but the man gave it to me instead. He said “I’m sure your going to like him cause he surely did entertain me.” He said “Mame are you sure you want to keep him, if you won’t I will.” he said with a country accent.

My sister and I were ecstatic about getting a new baby dog.

When I got into the car I asked my mom”Can we open it?” she replied “No wait a little longer to make sure he’s house broken.” As we where my sister and I kept on trying to peek inside the crate, but we only got little glimpses of him because of other cars headlights.

After about fifteen minutes I asked my mom again and this time she said “Yes.” My sister and I raced to open the crate.

After wards we sat inspecting his beautiful beige coat with black highlights on his ears and his tail. Also the white on his paws made us all say “Wow I think I’m going to like him.”

As we were talking he crawled up onto my lap. I thought to myself “It has to be my destiny to be his owner.” At that moment I knew would remember my tears of joy.

**__The Opossum By: Justina Refela__ **  Once I woke up, I went downstairs like usual. I looked outside the white window like every morning. I thought it was going to be a regular day. I started to shriek. I saw an opossum. It was fat, gray, and it had a long pink tail. It was under my father’s ladder.

As soon as my sister woke up, she hollered. I told her,” Shut your mouth!” I also had to cover her mouth to prevent from the extremely loud noise. My parents were still sleeping soundly.

My sister and I lifted the ladder off the poor opossum. “How can this happen?”, I thought. The opossum didn’t move a decimeter. It started to groan. I heard it groan loudly. I felt so bad.

We gave the opossum water. Although it wouldn’t take it, I didn’t mind. It was a tragic sight. I couldn’t bear it.

Veronica, my sister, ran inside and got the digital camera. She took three pictures. The first one was its entire body. The second was its head. Last but not least was the opossum’s wound. Its wound was terribly deep.

My brother just woke up. I saw him trudge down the stairs. Mina woke up late like he always does. We told him the story and showed him the pictures. He called it a “blossom” instead of opossum. We named it Blossom after Mina said,” Blossom!” Mina thought it was cute.

My parents finally woke up. We each told different parts of the story. My mother was so freaked out. She shouted, ”Stop!” so loud, the neighbors could hear her. My mother commented, ”You know how lucky you are we don’t have a dog hole or else...” “I know, I know. Or else the opossum could get in.”, I replied. We all burst out laughing. I screamed, “LOL!”

So that’s the story of the opossum. She walked away behind our shed. I hoped we would see Blossom again. “Did you know that Blossom came with a friend last night?”, my father told me the next night. //“I wish I could see Blossom again.” I thought.//

=Who Let the Dogs Out?=

by Lynne McGee When I saw my first dogs I was at the pet store. My dad asked me “Are you scared to see if they like you?” I said “No.” Then I saw them. I was hopping up and down like a bunny. Once they got in the room, I ran as fast as a cheetah. They barked as loud as 30 kids going “woof” again and again. They loved licking my family and me a lot. I said to my mommy, “They are really furry. Also I love them so much; they are so cute.” She said, “You’re welcome, Peanut.” Then we got carts and went shopping. I got a small one and put them in mine because my dad said I could. He said, “We can meet back here in two hours.” First thing I did was make names for them. I thought, then said, “I got it!” I said “Chole and Pixie Pup.” They seemed to like them a lot. Then we got the tags with their names on it. Also we got the leashes. Chole got red. Pixie got purple. Then we headed off. First thing we got was a drinking bowl. It was white with read and purple paw sports. Then we got purple and red dog beds. I put them in and they got up and sat in them because they’re so small and cuddly. Then we passed by toys. I said “Oh boy.” They barked at me so fast I had to pull my eyes back to my face again. So I had to get 2 squeaky balls, on squeaky dog, and one dish. Also, two dog bones. I put their leashes on so they could walk on ground again. We went past cats hoping they wouldn’t know. The leashes popped out of my hand faster than I said “Pixie, Chole stop!” I took the cart over to them. They were jumping up and down like rabbits. I put them back in and said “No more of that.” I was a little mad. They figured I was mad. We still shopped, they love licking me and wagging their furry tails hitting the cart. Thump. Thump. Thump. They’d barked at me. Then Pixie saw a hamster she jumped out I said “Pixie we already have one.” I picked her up and put her back in. She still was looking. When we passed a person they barked at them, they still petted them and said “they’re so cute and cuddly.” I put them back on the leashes. They walked funny. Their tails go back and forth. I bought them so much stuff I think they think they’re at a doggie spa. Now we all were in the same spot. We all love them and they love us. Everything is the way it’s going to be.

=What a Surprise!=

by: Ashley Bailey My mom had picked me up from aftercare with a smile on her face. “I have a surprise for you,” she said in a squeaky voice. “Hurry ip and you’ll find out.”

Oh boy was I glad to have that wonderful news.

So, I was walking out the school, passing the bell, passing the wonderful looking flower, and bushed until I stopped. Jumped. Danced. Screamed. “Oh my gosh!” I yelled. “She’s so beautiful. I lover her mommy. Thank you so so so super duper much. “

I had goose bumps. I felt I had squirrels in my pants. When I got to the car inside was a Chihuahua. She was very small, skinny, tan and had a white spot on her back.

“Oh she was beautiful.” Her fur felt fuzzy and prickly. Her paws were really sharp and hooked on to my shirt. Her nose was as wet as a baby wipe. Until I started talking in a high squeaky voice her eyes stayed shut. I just wanted to squeeze her into little tiny puzzle pieces.

I picked her up and put her into the car. Although, I didn’t think she liked it very much. It looked like she was swimming in the car. Since she didn’t like it I put her back on my shirt. I was so excited I now have a dog a new dog.

When I went home I played with her and had so much fun!!  =The New Dog=

by Kiara Torres  

I walked into the gray room in the pound. I saw the cages stacked up in rows of three. I saw the cats, some were sleeping and some were awake. I could hear the cats meowing from across the room and feel them lick my hand.

Then I walked in to the dog room. I could hear the dogs barking and see them sleeping. Just laying on the bottom of there cages. I looked at every dog but they were no good until my sister said “Look dad I want this one” and my dad said”no” and my sister thought that’s not fair.

I could hear dogs barking in the other room. So we went to the other dog room and I walked the dogs and even played with them but they weren’t right for me.

Then I looked on the other side of the room and I saw a boxer. It was alone and crying on the bottom of the cage. He was very funny because he had a crooked face. So then I took him out and I played with him. Every time I would give him a treat I could feel his drool on my hand and his soft fur and brown spots, that’s when I knew that he was the one.

Then I took him out for a walk. He was very strong and he made me laugh so hard with that crooked face. So then when we came back and I ask my dad if we could have him and he said “Let me think “ Yes, yes! I thought. So then he said “ok."

I just could not hold my scream in and so I had to and I did! Then we gave him his name and it came out to be Chin-Chin. Chin-chin smiled with relief and licked my hand and it was the best day ever, after all of that hard work but it is done now.

** New Cat by James Lewis ** My mom and dad closed the Christmas white door. They went somewhere without me. I was shaking with fear that they were leaving me. They told me they were getting a special surprise for us. "//What is the surprise//” I thought. Later they came back with a brown box. “Is it a dog?” I said. “No,” said mom. “Is it a hamster?” Josi said. “No” said mom. “Is it a cat?” said Jose. “Yes!” said dad with excitement. I looked inside the box; he was beautiful.

I let him out. He looked around, then ding-ding. We ran to the big round table, and then the cat looked at us like we were crazy. Mom gave us some Spam sandwiches and Corn beef with rice. Mom then gave the cat some Spam, he torn it up like a lion. “He is a Spanish cat!” mom said. The cat doesn’t like to play ball. He likes me. The cat doesn’t like the other cats because they hiss at him. The dog hates all cats. The cat loved mom and dad. The cat came from Nana who was about to get rid of him.

We tried to name him, so we thought of his name. “uhh what about Stripey?” Jose said. “No” said mom. “What about tiger” Josi said. “I got it, Hiroshima!” said dad. “Yes, that will be his name” said mom. “I love that cat!” said mom.   Jaws By: David Weihe “WAhoo” I said as my brothers and I raced out the door with buckets, shovels, and towels. We all got in the car, and drove to the beach.

When we got there my Mom, Dad, brothers, and I got the things out the car. It felt as hot as the sun. “Hurry Hurry get in the water.” We all said “get out get out.” It was as cold as Pluto. After we did that I asked my Dad, “What can I do now? He said “Walk a marathon.” So I tried. About one min. later I saw a guy with a girl and two baby sharks AKA known as Jaws! I asked if we could pet them he said “yes.” Before I pet the shark ran back to get my family.

When we came back to the shark I went to pet it. I was thinking “will it bite?” I was scared to pet it!

It smelt like salt water and looked like a gray wall. It was a crazy fun day, but the only thing that matters is I spent time with my family!

= The Surprise by Alex Rolon =

My mom was knocking on my door. “Go away mom,” I said rubbing my eyes to wake up. “But Alex I have a surprise for you.” I threw off my cover and jumped out of bed. I ran and unlocked my door. My mom looked at the bed and said “Go clean up your bed Alex.” “Ok mom” I said. I ran toward my bed. “Ok mom, does this look ok.” I said. “Yes, Alex it does look ok, your surprise is down in the kitchen.” I ran down the hallway. Then I opened my eyes and then I tried to stop but the floor was too slippery, so I ran into my mom’s bedroom door. “Alex are you ok.” My mom asked. Ahh……… “What happened?” my mom asked as she rubbed my back to make me fell better.

I heard bark, bark, and bark. I looked down the stairs. I saw a little white furry puppy with brown eyes. Then my puppy started jumping all around. I ran to my puppy, and then my puppy started biting my socks. I started to run and my puppy started chasing me all around the house trying to get my socks off my feet. “Ouch.” I screamed. My puppy ran the other way and he hid with one of my socks under the couch. I ran to see if my puppy was ok. My puppy looked at me chewing on my sock.

“Maybe you’re hungry. I am going to let you out while I make your food.” Suddenly I heard barking as I finished the food. It was my puppy waiting to come in and eat. My puppy ate all of the food and he fell asleep.
