Phoenix and Sahara 2

You probably thought I was done with Phoenix and Sahara. Well, they're back. Two geckos possessed by my brother, are in the all new PHOENIX AND SAHARA TWO. I one day was looking at the two cool geckos with Madison and Mojo. "Haven't you noticed something?" asked Mojo. "What?" I asked. "Phoenix and Sahara are sleeping together!" Mojo said. This is odd, because Phoenix is a boy and Sahara is a girl. Plus, Phoenix and Sahara have never slept together. This was a true mystery. "Come on, maybe we can solve this mystery!" Madison said. So, we looked at Phoenix and Sahara's biography. There was a picture of Phoenix's egg. On it was a green spot. Sahara's egg had a green spot on it as well. "Both of the gecko's eggs are congruent!" Madison said. "What does this mean? What does it mean?" Mojo asked in wonder.

Then, it was back to Phoenix and Sahara's cage. Carefully, I picked up Phoenix in one paw, and Sahara in the other. Then, I noticed something most peculiar. Phoenix squirmed out of my paw. "Not again!" I said. Then, Phoenix slowly climbed my body and to Sahara! Phoenix and Sahara! They must've liked each other. Madison and Mojo were watching Phoenix and Sahara too. "Whoaa!" Madison said, marveling. I carefully put Phoenix and Sahara in their cage. Madison, Mojo and I left the geckos alone. "Something weird is definitely going on!" Mojo said. "I can't seem to figure it out though." Madison said. I thought really hard. Maybe we should just go and check on Phoenix and Sahara." I said. That was a smart choice. I saw Phoenix basking- with Sahara. And, near Sahara's body- was an egg. It looked like Phoenix and Sahara's eggs. "Phoenix and Sahara- were giving birth?" I asked, out loud. "I guess so." Madison said. "I'm telling Beaumont!" I said.

I ran outside to tell Beaumont the news. "Beaumont!" I called. Then, I saw Beaumont come running to me. "Hi Lucy, how are Geek and Santa doing?" Beaumont asked. "It's PHOENIX and SAHARA!" I corrected, "and by the way, they're doing fine." "I got a new toy, want to help me chew it?" Beaumont asked. 'Well, sure, but I wanna tell you- Sahara layed an egg. "She- WHAT?" Beaumont asked. "Gave birth." Beaumont fainted. I went over to my next door neighor's next door neighors house. My friends, Nina, Sandy, and Betty lived there. I told them all aout Phoenix and Sahara. Of course, they fainted too. I went back to Phoenix and Sahara. The egg was gone.

"Where did the egg go?" I asked. "It- hatched." Mojo said. I saw a third gecko near Sahara. Then, Mom came in. "A third gecko!?" She asked. She got the ay gecko, and drove it away to the pet store. "Good bye gecko!'' I said. "Well, we didn't have enough room for the third lizard anyway." Madison said. "Well, at least we know that gecko is a new family gecko." I said. I'm pretty sure if that baby gecko was there, she would be a great addition to our family.


THE END (PHOENIX AND SAHARA DIDN'T REALLY GIVE BIRTH...:(")

Everyone Loves Madison

Madison is a cute cat. She is so fun to have have in the family. She trained me, rescued me, helped me, talked with me, and gave good examples for life. Madison is truly witty. I don't know what would happen if Madison got separated from my family.

Anyway, this story begins with Madison and I just sort of, you know, talking, hanging around, you get it. "Fuzzles, Willie, Mister, that's just one animal illegal to have in the house way too many!" Madison said. "Give those animals a chance! They've only been around for a couple of weeks!" I said. Then, before Madison could say, "Oh those animals will get a chance- THE CHANCE TO BECOME DEAD STEAK!", the doorbell rang. My dad answered the door. There were two people with tuxedos and dark black ties. These guys were wearing brown, opaque sunglasses. These guys also had a cunning hairstyle and on their clothes had the word "BODYGUARD"! These guys must have been bodyguards with a tall man with short hair and a blue suit with a yellow tie. A guy just like this stood in front of his bodyguards.

"We're here to find a wanted cat you have!" said one of the bodyguards. "Yes, a Madison." said the other bodyguard. "This cat, Madison, is the president's cat, and it's in this house!" said The Man With a blue suit, short hair and a yellow tie. "Madison? What do you mean?" asked Dad. "Madison is famous. Anybody want a ride in the first class limo?!" asked the bodyguards. "SURE!" Dad said. Mom, dad, my sister, my brother, Madison and Mojo, Beaumont, and I all went on the limo. "Thanks for bringing me along!" Beaumont said.

One of the bodyguards gave us four animals some beacon and steak. "This is pet heaven!" I said. 12 steaks later and 24 beacons later, I was so happy. Beaumont, Madison and Mojo were full too. The limo stopped at a building and the guy with yellow bow tie, Sean, went in the building with Madison. He returned with a magazine. Madison was on it's cover. The magazine said "The CAT- alog! Madison Found!". Madison was famous. The reason was because this was George Washington's cat, and Madison was that cat. Madison had lived for quite a while, and she hasn't known. After the limo ride, Madison showed off her new outfit Sean got her.

The next day, Madison was on the newspaper! She had her own comic too. It was called "President Kitt- inn!" The comic had an inn with Madison as George Washington's assistant. Madison and Mr. Washington are basically employees at this inn in Pennsylvania Road. Madison was a big hit. Mojo and I were sick of it. Madison boasted Mojo and I had no attention.

"How can we prove Madison is NOT George Washington's kitten?" I asked Mojo. "George Washington's kitten has a birthmark, shaped of the USA!" Mojo said. "If Madison doesn't have that birthmark, she'll never be famous again!" Mojo said. Madison didn't have the birthmark. "I do too!" Madison said.
''Do not!" Mojo said.
"Do too"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"QUIET! MADISON! MOJO!" I said. "Madison, Mojo is right, you may have only been famous for 2 days, but you must let it go!" "Fine!" Madison said. She confessed and that was the end of her being famous.

Oh yeah, President Kitt- inn is still around.

Short adventure, but a long experience.

Willie's Lemur

Today, I was hanging around with Willie and Mister outside. "Lucy, I have a gift for you!" Willie squawked. "ANOTHER gift?" I thought. Mister was enough, what did was it now? Willie opened up a cage, and out of it came a lemur. "A lemur?" I asked. "Yeah!" Willie said. It turns out the lemur's name is Fuzzles. Fuzzles seemed like a cute name. Fuzzles was way better than Mr. Giraffe. I went to look at Fuzzles. "Hi Fuzzles!" I said. "Hi Lucy-Pooch!" Fuzzles said. 

I let Mister, Fuzzles and Willie into the house. Fuzzles turned on the TV and he watched the news. "Our weather today is 100% thick fog!" The weather man said. "Fog, that can't be good!" I cried. I looked outside. I couldn't see a single thing but light. Probably car lights. Fuzzles must've never seen fog before, because the first thing he did, was go outside. In seconds, he disappeared. "This can't be good!" Mister said. 

Madison came in the room. "Mister and that insane bird again!?" Madison asked. "Yes, plus a lemur loose in the foggy neighborhood!" I said. "Another?!!!!!" cried Madison. "Not again!''  "I'm going to go find Fuzzles!" I said. Madison must've been so angry, she came with me. Madison has never been outside before, so to her, it was gonna be a true adventure. It started off when Mister bumped into something. 

Because I brought a flashlight, I could light the way. In the flashlight's light, I saw Mister had bumped into a tree. In that tree, I saw Fuzzles. "There's Fuzzles!" Willie said. He flew up into the tree where Fuzzles was, and Madison and I climbed up the tree. Mister could see everything in the tree just by standing. Well, I think you know what I mean. When I got up to Fuzzles, I tried to catch him. I failed. So did Madison. Fuzzles ran from out the tree and deeper into the fog. I shined the flashlight at Fuzzles. He headed into a neighbor's bush. Then he ran over some  nearby railroad tracks. Willie, Mister, Madison and I followed. 

Over the railroad tracks is a road that leads downtown. "Where could Fuzzles be now?" I asked. "Look! He's over there!" Madison said. Fuzzles headed down the road that lead to downtown. Then, Fuzzles was in downtown. Madison, Willie, Mister and I followed and went in down town too. Fuzzles went in all these crazy places. Then, he went inside the library. "Not the library! We'll never find Fuzzles now!" I said. "Maybe only one of us should go look for him in the library." Madison said. "I can't do it!" Mister said he was too big, and Willie wasn't elusive enough. So that meant I had to go into the library. So I did. 

I spotted Fuzzles go into an elevator. I saw that elevator close, but the other one was avalible. I went into that elevator. I saw that Fuzzles headed to the 4th floor. So I selected the 4th floor, and the elevator proceeded. Shortly, the elevator doors opened. I saw Fuzzles behind a bookshelf. "Fuzzles. Come. Please! PLLLLLEEEEEASSSSSSSE!!!!!!!!!" I said. Fuzzles went down some stairs that led to the 3rd floor. "Come on Fuzzles!" I said. I couldn't find him. "I'm doomed!" I said. Then I thought that maybe Fuzzles was in a different part of the library. I went to see if Fuzzles was on the floor I started at. Sure enough, he was. "FUZZLES!" I said. 

Fuzzles went out of library to where Madison, Mister and Willie were. Madison caught the lemur. "I have him!" Madison said. As soon as we got Fuzzles home, Willie, Fuzzles, Madison, Mister and I rested. "Well, it's time for Fuzzles, Mister and I to go!" Willie squawked. So, he, Mister, and Fuzzles went out into the fog. "Bye!" I said. 

"That was insane, but a little fun!" Madison said. "Oh," I said,"it's always fun with a lemur being involved!" "Whatever!" Madison said. She just went for a nap. 

I wonder when I'll see Fuzzles again. I hope it's sometime soon at least.

Madison and Mojo ( A true story with some false stuff)

Kittens, so, precious,so, calm, so, you get the idea! Madison and Mojo are helpful kittens. They've been around the house for quite a while. But I remember when they have first came to my family. It was on a good day, and I was on the couch, and I heard my owners talking. I decided to go to my owners and see what they were talking about. "Lucy, guess what?' asked my Owners.

I shrugged. "Lucy, we're getting two kittens!" Mom said. I didn't seem to like THAT idea. But I knew I had to live with it. I pretended to act as happy and cheerful as possible. After a few smiles and tail wags, I went on the couch. My owners said we were getting the kittens on the last day of the month, and that was only a week away.

On Friday night I dreamed that the kittens were pooch eating cougars. Saturday, the kittens in my dreams turned into man eating chimpanzees. Sunday, the space where I always LOVE to sleep, was taken over by the kitten's new evil bed. And on Monday, I saw a snapshot of one of the kittens. It had short fur, and this was one of those cats with an M on it's head. They said the name was Madison. Then, I saw another photo. It was a picture of a gray, long furred kitten. The name of this cat was Mojo. On Wednesday, I heard that there was a mix up. The cat with the M on his head was actually Mojo, and the long, gray- furred kitten was Madison. And on Thursday, my sister was sick enough, she stayed from school.

My brother was at school. My Mom took me on a car ride to go get my brother from school. My brother always comes out of the office doors after school, so Mom parks the vehicle by the parking lot near the office doors. So once my brother got in the car, Mom headed back home. When I got home, guess what I got to see? My grandma, holding Madison. I wasn't expecting to have the kittens ONE DAY EARLY! "Hi weird dog!" Mojo said to me from under the couch. I thought, "I am not ugly!"

I growled at Madison. Madison meowed in fright. "LUCY, NO!" Mom said. She picked me up and put me down in my cage. When mom left, I retreated from the cage and went into the basement. 'Those kittens are nothing but fools!" I said to myself. "What do you mean?" asked a voice. I looked behind me. It was Madison. "Oops!" I said to myself.

That night, I was put in my doggie kennel, and guess what? The kittens get to stay out of a cage. This was before I learned how to get out of cages from inside of them. So Madison and Mojo were always up all night making some noise, while I was stuck in a cage, trying to get some sleep. That morning, I couldn't stay awake. It was a day- mare. The kittens only napped for 60 minutes a day, and it seemed I would NEVER get some sleep, unless the kittens were napping. I didn't like these kittens yet.

The next day, I was just plain ol' hungry! So I went into the trash can to see what treasures I could find. Nothing. Then, I accidently fell into the trash can! "HELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPP!" I cried. The trash can opened. It was Madison and Mojo. "Guys, rescue me!" I said. "I'll do anything!" "Hmmmm" Madison and Mojo said. "Give us a new cat toy, and we'll let you out!" Madison said. "Ok!'' I said. Madison and Mojo lifted me out of the trash can and I was free. "Thanks kittens!" I said. "Where's the cat toy!?!" asked Mojo. I pulled something from my back. It was a bone I don't play with anymore. So, the kittens played with the bone and I was stuck in the bathtub.

Anyway, that's the whole story of how I got used to Madison and Mojo, and how they first came to my family.

THE END

The Giraffe That The Pooch Snuck Into The House

A while ago I said I missed Willie out loud. Well, he comes back every now and then. One day, I heard Willie tell me in his toucan voice of his that he had a gift for me. When Willie told me that the present was in the garage, I knew that this gift was not gonna be able to fit in the house. When I saw what was sitting in the garage I fainted. It was a giraffe!

Willie said that the giraffe's name was "Mr. Giraffe". I called "Mr. Giraffe", "Mister" so that way, it would be a less ridiculous name. Since my owners weren't home, I could sneak Mister in the house right now. Mister had to lower his neck so he could fit in the house. Mister's neck and body stretched all the way from the kitchen to an eighth of the living room. An 18 foot long giraffe in MY house. I knew it wasn't a dream, but it seemed like it.

Willie squawked a phrase to me. He said that Mister came from Africa in a boat. Before I cold tell Willie any other stuff, Madison came in the room. "What is that toucan doing in here again? And why do I see a giraffe in this house?" Madison asked. Willie squawked. He answered Madison's question. The answer was that domesticated animals should be able to "hang out" with wild ones, and that dogs and giraffes and toucans NEVER get to talk to each other. Madison rolled her eyes. "Can you imagine if a giraffe and a toucan were loose in your house?" Madison said. "Yeah, of course!" I said. I just couldn't believe that what I was happening in my head, is happening in reality!

Mister didn't make any noise, but I knew he was telling me something. I knew what Mister was saying right from the start. He said he wanted to "explore" the neighborhood. "Don't you dare do it!" Madison said. I ignored Madison and took Willie and Mister outside. I showed them around.

"This is the house of Beaumont!" I said. Beaumont was on his porch. "What are you doing with a toucan and a giraffe?" asked Beaumont. "Just allies!" I said. Willie, Mister and I are going 'round the neighborhood, and I was excited.

"Here is the place with all of the squirrels you can chase!" I said. The minute a squirrel came, I chased and barked at it. Willie and Mister looked at each other. I showed Willie and Mister my friend, Ruby's house. Ruby is a black cockapoo.

When she saw Mister and Willie she freaked out. In fact, 90% of the neighborhood freaked out at Willie and Mister. I took Willie and Mister to my house, hoping my owners weren't home. I was lucky, because they weren't.

Mister got a glimpse of Phoenix and Sahara. Mister said that geckos are crude. After I smacked Mister in the face, we continued. I got to show Mister and Willie the upstairs. Soon, I let Mister and Willie go.

That may have been a short adventure, but, you got to let the animals go. So, that's how I met Mister the giraffe.

Trouble With The Bizzare Toucan

Toucans are neat, interesting animals. What's bad about toucans is that they have too big of beaks for life, and those awful black feathers. Black ain't my favorite color. I may have black on my fur, but when I was born, I was stuck with some black. I like toucans, but I'm just saying they're too much trouble. If you don't know what I mean, read this and see if you'll think twice about an average toucan.

The story begins when my family went to an indoor public birdhouse. It's as big as a normal building, and it's just like a zoo, only it's just birds. And they allowed dogs believe it or not. So I got to go to the public birdhouse. If you were REALLY lucky, you could go into an exhibit that a certain bird was in. My family was lucky enough to go inside an exhibit with 6 toucans. The names were Squawk, Longbeak, George, Willie, Tropical, and Lindsay. I went to look at Willie.

He didn't have too many feathers on his head. He didn't make too much noise. He seemed to like me. I liked him in return. I think Willie wanted to go home with me, but I told him he couldn't go and if the staff found out he was gone, he would be in severe trouble. But then I looked at Willie's eyes. A tear escaped my eye. I couldn't help it. I told Willie he could come with me to my house as long as nobody found out he was missing. Willie seemed to agree with me but I wasn't sure what he was saying.

So, when my family got home from the Birdhouse, I hid Willie in the closet. He hid behind a pile of stuff in the closet. Madison went in the closet and found Willie. "Madison, don't tell mom that that bird is in the house!" I begged. "What is this thing doing in the closet anyway?" said Madison. "He wanted to come home with me!" I said. "Lucy, you can't keep him forever!" said Madison. While Madison and I were complaining, Willie flew away loose in the house. It took me less than five seconds to see Willie was loose in the house. Madison noticed too. "Look what you've done now Lucy," Madison said," a toucan is loose in the house! We let geckos loose in the house, and Sahara almost died!" I thought about it. I decided Madison was right. I had to catch Willie before it was too late.

Willie didn't make too much noise since I told him not to earlier so this could be more complicated than I thought. "Get that toucan!" I said. Madison found a black feather trail. The trail led to my sister's doll house. Willie was on the doll house roof. I jumped for him and missed. Madison tried to catch him as well, but she failed. Willie must think Madison and I were playing a game of tag, but this was no game!

With a toucan loose in the house, anything could happen. I saw Willie fly to my brother's desk. "Get off!"I said. Madison and I dove for that bird, but Willie dodged our attacks. He then made a loud squawking noise. "I thought I just heard a toucan!" My Dad said. My dad grew up in the South American amazons, so I'm pretty sure he's familiar with any toucan noise. "Must be hearing things!" Dad said. "Close one!" Madison said. Willie flew into the kitchen. Madison and I followed him. Willie landed on the top of a cabinet in the kitchen.

"Madison, go!" I said. Madison climbed all the way to where Willie was perched. Madison grabbed that bird, but she wasn't strong enough, and Willie escaped Madison's wraths. Willie flew toward the back door and it opened. He flew outside. I managed to get a photo but that was it.

I cried. Willie was gone. He was like a friend. Madison noticed how sad I was and she told me it wasn't the end of the world. I hugged Madison. My tears sent Madison damply covered in water. Madison left to where I was crying and returned 20 minutes later with a box. "Here's a gift for you so you won't be all sad about Willie anymore!" Madison said.

I stopped crying and opened up that box. It was a statue. It looked a lot like Willie. "Thanks Madison, I still miss Willie, but this makes me know he's okay." I said. I hugged Madison. I did get teased when Mojo saw me, but thats what friends in the same family do when happy. Sometimes, I stare into the staue's eyes, and think that Willie is better off in the wild anyway.

Madison was right. You can't keep a toucan forever.

I'll just never forget the day, the only day, when I got to see my newest friend, Willie, the toucan.

Dawgs On Ice

My sister LOVES ice skating. She's good at it too. I think ice skating looks cool. The only disadvantage about ice skating, is that wherever there's a place to ice skate, dogs are NEVER allowed. I know how to ice skate, but I've never gotten a chance to try it. I hope someday, I'll be able to ice skate. One day, I got my chance. In the mail, my mom got a flyer.

It said- "Does your dog hate it when they can't follow their dreams? If so, go to ice skating with your dog! This event will take place at ANY indoor ice rink throughout the state. The event costs 50 cents per person, and your pet, FREE! So stop chewing on that bone and go 'ice skating with your pet.'" "Lucy, do you wanna go to skating with your pet? Sarah can come with!" Mom said.

Sarah is my sister's name. Skating with Sarah and Mom! How better could THAT get?!!! Then, I was let outside. Beaumont was outside too. "Lucy, I'm going to skate with your pet!" Beaumont said. "So am I!" I said excitedly. "Maybe your mom can drive me their. My owner doesn't feel like drivin' me."Beaumont said. I asked My Owner. As if they understood me, they said "Let's take Beaumont with us!" I barked in excitement. So, later I was driven to skate with your pet with Beaumont. We went to the ice rink where my sister did her ice skating classes.

Beaumont and I had these small ice skates attached to our paws. Then, I got to ice skate with Beaumont. They had a disco ball with some rock 'n' roll on. Beaumont and I didn't like it as much as the quieter song. When IT came on, we skated close to each other. I haven't had so much fun in eons. "Beaumont, I'm loving this place!' I said. " I know. It's fun isn't it?" said Beaumont. ''Truly is!" I said. My sister and my Mom skated together. It may have looked too romantic, but it brought back tons of cherishing memories to your head!

Beaumont and I skated over obstacles that the people have set up. Around cones, over hurdles, and more. I was so happy.

When I was done with ice skating, I got a bone this old man gave to me. Beaumont got one too. I was in luck when I got some popcorn made just for dogs. Beaumont had some 'Gummy pooches' made for just dogs.

Beaumont and I sat next to each other and said to each other, it was the best time ever.

The Ginger Bread House Of Addiction

My sister has made this ginger bread house at girl scouts and it's been on top of the entertainment center since the day it was built. It may be stale, but that ginger bread house looks good. I mean I've started stealing food ever since I was hungry and all I could find was a corn dog. I haven't been eating too many corn dogs. I have been eating meat. Carter, my cousin, has taught me how to steal food. He said I was very "good" and that I'm very likely to steal a whole "store- full of food" in one lifetime. But what really ticks me off is that the ginger bread house can't be touched by or eaten by any of us pets. Madison tried it and Dad caught her. Before Dad could could even touch Madison, she jumped onto the ceiling. I'm trying to eat that ginger bread house. The stale, solid, white icing icicle for the ginger bread house; the gum drop hedges, and the yummy licorice gutters. I'm gonna need help if I'm gonna steal that ginger bread house. Just like the corn dog, I had Mojo be on the lookout, while Madison and I tried to steal that ginger bread house.

So I had Mojo on the lookout for any humans. He came to Madison and I, saying a warning phase! "It's dad, he's coming!" "Act normal!' I said. Madison and Mojo sat on the couch and whistled. I chewed on an average bone, like I normally do. "Madison, come here!" said Dad. He wasn't mad at Madison, he just wanted to pet Madison. Dad's attention was all on Madison. ''Come on, now's a good time to try to get that Ginger Bread house." said Mojo. Madison's new job was to possess distractions for the humans. Right now, Madison was distracting Dad. Mojo and I climbed the scratching post and jumped onto the entertainment center. Mojo grabbed the ginger bread house and jumped onto the Christmas tree. Then and went inside the Christmas tree! He tried to hide the ginger bread house. Then he saw mom approaching. Mojo jumped to the ceiling. Dad let go of Madison. I hid. Mojo accidentally dropped the ginger bread house. It landed- right on the carpet. "Mojo!" I cried. "Quick, get that edible house!" Mojo let go of the ceiling and got the house.

Before he could he could get away with it, Mom caught Mojo. ''Mojo, get off that ginger bread house!" I just chewed on a bone again. Mojo witnessed Mom put the ginger bread house on top of the refrigerator. "It's no use! Mom's washin' dishes and we'll never be able to get the ginger bread house." said Madison. I stopped it with the bone- chewing. The corn dog was easier since my mom just gave the corn dog to Madison, Mojo and I, but this was harder, because I or the kittens are not allowed to have a ginger bread house. Then, I came up with a plan. "Madison, go distract our owners by doing something so cute, they can't stop watching it." I said. ''I'm on it!" Madison said. "Mojo, make sure that no one comes into the kitchen! If a human does, let me know!" I demanded. "Yes , 'Ma'am dawgie Lucy'!" Mojo said triumphantly.


I went and jumped onto the top of the garbage can. It's right next to the refrigerator, so I can use it like a stool. I made a big jump and before I knew it, I was on top of the fridge. I couldn't find the ginger bread house. "Where could it be?" I whispered to myself. Then, I started to dig around. Behind a bag a Doritos, I found some blood oranges. Beneath the pile of Blood oranges, you could find all of these- M'n' M's. "I must be getting close!" I thought. Behind the candy was the ginger bread house! "YES!" I thought. I grabbed the gingerbread house. I started to flee to the basement so I could eat the gingerbread house in a secret place, when Madison and Mojo headed my way. "The humans are coming! Quick, into the basement!" said Mojo.

Madison, Mojo and I ran in the basement, and ate! "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" said Madison. I, and the kittens enjoyed the meal. My owners didn't even catch us! Then I heard a voice from upstairs! "Where did that ginger bread house go!?!!!!" It yelled. "Uh-oh!" Madison said.


What a delightful Monday!

Madison, Mojo, and the Fish Tank

Madison and Mojo have been themselves ever since they discovered an ancient temple tunnel that leads to Beaumont's yard, or the time they invented "ceiling walking"! But gosh, they invented something that would be something, even I would get in severe trouble if I did it. They go up to my brothers drawer with clothes in it. On top of the clothes drawer, was the fish tank. We've had it for about a year, a few months, 1 week, and 5 days by now. That fish tank has two fish called pink kissing gouramis. My brother named them Sandy and Moccasin. The reason they call them pink kissing gouramis, is because they kiss each other. Whats weird about these fish is that they kiss each other on the lips, and their pretty outgoing about it. Some other fish my brother has are ones called glow-light tetras. Their names are Clampsy and Clippers. Dumb names huh? I know,(I hope my brother didn't read this very sentence). The glow-light tetras are fish that live in schools! My brother used to have 5 glow- lights, but they all passed out, or as we say in smaller words, DIED! My brother has this one fish called a julii cory cat. My brother named the julii cory cat, "Julii". My brother has a frog he brought home from second grade one day. My brother had that frog since it was a tadpole. My brother, who is now in 4th grade, had that frog even before I was welcomed into his family. The frog's name is Jack. This frog eats blind shrimp, THAT IS DEAD! What a huge waste of time.

Our story begins with Mojo. He was looking at Phoenix and Sahara. They were sleeping. Madison was up at the fish tank. "Cool!" said Madison. She took a gigantic breath, and poked her head in the fish tank's water. Madison couldn't talk too well under water, but she was looking at Jack, the African water frog. My mom came in the room. "MADISON! NO!" said My Mom. Mojo drank some water from the fish tank. ''You two kittens disgust me!'' Mom replied. She was so grossed out, she let Madison go. Madison started drinking again. I'd rather drink from the toilet. My old friend, Ketlan, always drank from the toilet. I remember what Ketlan always told me, "Of all the bowls meant to be drank from, pooches always chose the toilet!" I don't get that advice since Ketlan died. "Madison, Mojo, drink from the toilet for once!" I said. "Okay!" Mojo said as he jumped up to the toilet. He couldn't reach the water. "Go, hurry before mom sees you!" I said. Mojo reached for the water as fast as he could, but then, that fool fell in the toilet. "MOJO!" yelled Mom. I ran away.

Mom wrapped Mojo with a red towel and dried poor Mojo. Mojo got a bath. I think he swallowed some shampoo, but, I tried to get that thought out of my brain. I couldn't. Madison was at the fish tank and was up to no good. I noticed she was trying to eat Clampsy. I got to the fish tank and grabbed Madison. Then, I tossed her onto my brother's bed. Madison face- planted her head directly into the stuffed animals on my brother's bed. I ran to the living room to chew on a bone. Then, I heard a splash. Madison had fell in the fish tank. I ran into my brother's room and got Madison out of the fish tank. My mom washed Madison and went on the couch, with me on her lap. The kittens have been in for quite a day today. Bathes and water. How crazy for a cat.

My mom went to bed that night and relaxed. She had a rough day. Then, the next day, Madison and Mojo were pawing at the fish tank. Jack and Julii hid inside this small fish house thingy built for fish. Clampsy and Clippers hid in a plastic plant used for decoration. It glows in the dark you know. Anyway, Sandy and Moccasin were too big to hide, so Sandy tried to fit in the place Jack and Julii were hiding in. Believe it or not, Sandy managed to fit. Moccasin hid behind the tank filter. It worked. Everyone was hidden. "Where are those fish?" asked Mojo. Maybe if we shake the tank, the fish will come out!" said Madison. She and Mojo shook the fish tank. The fish tank started to move. Madison and Mojo were more pushing the fish tank than shaking it. Then, by accident, Madison and Mojo pushed the fish tank off the drawer. The Fish Tank was smashed into pieces. Water splattered all over the place. Glass was spread all around the floor. The fish were still alive. My Mom was not happy. The fish were put in a small bowl of water until they had another fish tank. My Mom swept up the pieces of glass into a cup, and my mom dumped the glass into the garbage. My sister wiped up the water. The cats were locked in my cage until they were behaved. I layed down on the couch and napped. I only did it for 7 minutes. Soon, the old fish tank was gone. Trace of it, was nowhere to be found.

My brother, my Mom and my sister went to the pet store to get new stuff for the fish. My Mom must've spent quite a fortune on the fish. The kittens were let go, and the fish were in the fish tank. Me? I'm trying to be elusive enough to chew on my sister's "Mermaid Barbie". I failed. So now, I'm on the couch, getting belly rubs from my dad. Maybe next time, Madison and Mojo will be more careful and stay out of trouble. The fish? Probably by now, they're freaked out.

I think I just heard heard the fish tank fall off the drawer. I hope Madison and Mojo aren't in too much mischief. Then, in my brother's room, I saw the fish tank was broken and fell off the drawer- AGAIN! "Madison, Mojo, you're gonna get in big trouble!" I said to them. Madison and Mojo ran away. "Kittens, always in mischief!" I thought with an upset feeling. I have a feeling no more mischief can be caused by anyone than by Madison and Mojo.

Phoenix and Sahara

Our family has never been the same ever since they gotten geckos! Two of them. Two desert dwelling, spotted, and crude leopard geckos have found their way into my family. Sure, my mom hates feeding these guys crickets and hearing some examples of disgusting things the geckos can do. For example, geckos lick their eye balls to keep them clean. Or, that geckos eat and digest crickets and meal worms. But anyway, that doesn't mean that geckos can cause TOO much chaos to the family, can they? Well, it did one day. My mom and my sister were looking at the geckos. I meandered around the house, since nobody was paying any attention to me. The geckos had names too. Their names used to be Geek and Santa, but such names didn't suit my brother, the new owner of the geckos, too well. I mean, if your name was Geek, would you be to amused? I doubt it, so my brother changed the names to Phoenix and Sahara. These geckos were nocturnal but didn't make too much noise. You have to feed them every other day. I don't really know why, but let's just say that our story begins with Madison playing with the scratching post.

"Mojo!" I called out. I was looking for Mojo. He was by the gecko cage. "MOJO!" I yelled. "What is it Lucy? Did the next door Yorkshire terrier steal our mail again?" said Mojo. "No, actually, I was looking for you!" I said. "Why don't you bring Madison here!" said Mojo. I did. Madison jumped onto my brother's desk to where the geckos were. I jumped on the desk chair to get a closer ''look'' at the geckos. Phoenix was sleeping. Sahara was getting ready to sleep. Madison and Mojo jumped on top of the gecko cage.''I wonder how much trouble would be caused if I held Phoenix!" Madison said. "No! Don't!" I cried. But it was too late. Madison got ahold of Phoenix. Phoenix made a sound, the one you hear a Cayman do. Then Phoenix bit Madison. It hurt for Madison. "Phoenix, get him, he's running away!" I yelled. Mojo was reaching for Sahara. I pushed him off the desk and into the garbage can. I closed the gecko cage before Sahara could escape. Unfortunately, Phoenix was loose in the house. Madison and Mojo and I had to get Phoenix before my Mom noticed he was gone. The gecko could even lose its tail. "How am I gonna find a fragile animal in the house!" I cried. Mojo came up from the garbage can with an apple core on his head. "Let's just look for him!" he cried.

Phoenix left my brother's room and into the bathroom. "Hurry, if Phoenix falls in the toilet, he might drown!" I cried. But Phoenix was in the sink. For a desert dwelling reptile, a sink isn't the best place to relax in. Phoenix ran out of the bathroom before Mojo could reach him. "Oh- no! Phoenix is heading upstairs!" Madison said. The ustairs level of the house is so messy, you couln't even find a magazine in the mess! Phoenix slowly jumped to the top of the stairs and headed towards the closet. Madison and Mojo and I followed Phoenix. We couldn't find him. "Phoenix won!" I sadly sighed.

Then, Phoenix peeked out of the pocket of a suit, attached to a hook! "Madison, Lucy, look, it's Phoenix! In the coat pocket!" Mojo said. "Now's our chance to catch Phoenix!" I said. But the minute Phoenix noticed the kittens and I, he jumped out the pocket and back downstairs. Madison, Mojo and I quickly ran after the naughty gecko. When Mojo got off the stairs, he jumped, slid on the floor- scooping up Phoenix right in his paws! "Mojo," Madison said as she got off the stairs! "nice catch!" Mojo went to put back Phoenix. Madison and I tagged along. The minute Mojo put Phoenix in his cage, Sahara got free. She ran out of my brother's room, to the dining room, and into the kitchen.

"Now Sahara's loose!" I cried. "Come on, let's go!" said Mojo. Madison led the way, and I was behind her. As Mojo followed me, he said he couldn't see the gecko. Once Madison, Mojo and I got to the kitchen, Mojo saw a pile of lemons. He jumped to the top of the counter and dug in to the lemons. The lemons fell off the counter and tumbled and rolled all the way to the kitchen floor. Lemons were all over the place. Beneath the lemons was Sahara. Sahara made a run for it into the basement! "These reptiles never give up!" I thought. Sahara ran down the basement stairs. Mojo, Madison and I chased the gecko into the basement. The basement has cobwebs all over the place. Our family is "redecorating" the basement, so the floor is gray, hard, and carpetless. Not many items of beauty can be found. Finding a gecko in this basement could be impossible.

Anyway, Sahara managed to get to the top of the washing machine. Sahara hid in a small box on top of the washing machine. Quickly, I picked up the box that Sahara was in. I made sure she didn't escape. But, Sahara jumped out of the box, and to the back door. My Mom opened the back door, and Sahara ran out the back door. "Oh- no, anything but that!" I cried as Sahara ran on the back porch. My luck was bad, because, Sahara escaped outside, and it was winter! Madison and Mojo couldn't go outside, but luckily I can.

I was let outside, and I undid my leash. Sahara was a desert animal, so she probaly won't survive if she's outside for too long. I didn't have too much time, so I looked in the snow. Nothing. Then, I noticed Sahara. She wasn't in the snow, but she was in the driveway. My dad's car was coming in the driveway. The car had a 99% chance of running over Sahara. I quikly dove toward Sahara. I slid on the icy driveway, grabbed Sahara, and slid off the driveway and into a pile of snow. I hoped Sahara was in good condition. "Please be healthy, please be healthy, please be healthy, please be healthy, PLEASE BE HEALTHY!" I said repetitively. Sahara was in good condition and shape. She looked healthy too. I went inside, and put Sahara in her cage before my owners could even notice that either geckos escaped. Luckily, my owners still haven't found out yet. Madison and Mojo were lurking on top of the geckos' cage.

I watched Phoenix and Sahara go to sleep. All the gecko chaos was over. So, yes, geckos can be trouble, but you should always be careful. For geckos, it's better safe then sorry. I think Phoenix and Sahara will be a great addition to my family.

The Ancient Temple Tunnel of Amazement, Part 2

We left off when I was in the temple tunnel and Madison and Mojo screamed in terror. I went to find out what all the chaos was about. Madison and Mojo were scared of these scorpions they found, crawling on the floor. "Don't be that afraid, they're just crude arachnids! I said. "No, it's not the scorpions, it's this!" said Mojo. He pointed at a cave with an actaul tomb in it! It was open! Inside it were rubys. "Don't be to scared, at least there are some rubys!" I said. Madison and Mojo ran into the cave. I took the rubys and admired their shine. The rubys were so shiny, they lit up the cave. I found Madison and Mojo standing in front of a pile of gold. "Lucy, look at the pile of gold we found!" said Madison. Madison and Mojo dove into the pile of gold. Madison found some emeralds she seemed to admire. Mojo found some amethysts he seemed to admire. "I'll hold on to those gems of yours!" I said. 'Thanks!" said Madison and Mojo. They gave me the gems, dove into the pile of gold, and started to swim in it. When they were done they said "Let's explore deeper into this tunnel." Behind the pile of gold was a golden door. "Let's go behind this door!" said Mojo. I pushed the door and it opened.

Behind it were stairs. "These stairs are steep!" said Mojo when we started climbing up the stairs on top of the stairs was yet another door. I pushed it and it opened. Behind this door, was a hall with a dinosaur skeleton in it! "What's a T-rex skeleton doing in here?" asked Mojo. "I know, this place creeps me out!" I said. Madison was climbing the skeleton. "Get down!" I whispered. "You come up here. And you too Mojo!" said Madison. So, Mojo and I climbed up to the T- rex's skull. I started to chew on it. Chewing bones can be a fun activity. "Why are we up here?" I asked Madison. "I see a door on the ceiling!" said Madison. Madison jumped up to the door's doorknob and twisted it. The door opened and Madison climbed a ladder that was behind the door, and disappeared. Mojo and I did the same.

On top of the ladder, was a platform with stairs. Madison had started climbing the stairs. Mojo and I followed. On top of the stairs, was a hall. It was filled with art. "Cool," said Mojo, "The Mona Lisa, the other famous paintings! Replicas of them are all... HERE!"

There was another door! Behind IT was, a hill made of grass. The hill led to a hole that was in Beaumont's backyard. "What the heck?" asked Mojo. "Where was that tunnel from?" asked Mojo. "I built it!" said Beaumont. "You? But why?" I asked. "For a secret hideout!" said Beaumont! "Oh! But why does it lead into our living room?" I asked. "So I could visit you more often! Okay, you can go home!" said Beaumont. So Madison, Mojo, and I went home and lived happily ever after!

THE END!

The Ancient Temple Tunnel of Amazment, Part One

Madison and Mojo are two domesticated, average kittens that have to have too much trouble caused by them. If you just heard a crashing sound happen, you heard Mojo just break my sister's alarm clock. "MOJ- O! screamed My Sister. I you heard a splash, that was Madison who fell in the toilet. (She probably was trying to get the toy gerbil my brother dropped in the toilet by accident, but failed by falling in the toilet!) If you heard an extraordinarily loud "AUUGHHHH!", that was mom yelling at Madison and Mojo. Sounds of mischief are what I use to show how naughty Madison and Mojo are. I'm pretty sure you didn't hear the sounds because, this is just a story that has been typed, not performed.

Anyway, Madison Mojo, one day, were just walking on the ceiling, (from Scratching post), and they fell down. They and I find that fun. Oh yeah, if you are ever scared of your pets climbing the ceiling and falling off, don't just be all "Police? My pet was on the ceiling!'' Well, all your answer from the police will be is: "Yo', ye' might just be losin' yer' marbles!" Anyway, your pet would love falling off the ceiling. Anyway, Madison fell off ceiling on purpose and for the fun of it. But then, when she landed, she made a crack in the floor.

Madison and Mojo could fit throught it. So they went in the crack "COOOL!" said Madison. "What? What is it?" I asked. "A door with an eye on it. It looks old!" said Mojo. "Let me see!" I demanded. I went in the crack. There was a door. "Let's see what's behind it!" said Mojo. Madison pushed the door. Behind it, was a hall, that had unlit torches and ahead a tunnel of darkness. Madison and Mojo ran into the hall. They disappeared once they left into the hall. "Here I go!" I groaned. In the hall, from the dark area, I heard a screech come from Madison and Mojo! They were in danger! I went into the hall to see what the terror was all about.

That's the end of part one!

The Scratching Post

Madison and Mojo are cats, so they like the scratching post. As we know, scratching posts prevent cat's claws from growing too big. Madison and Mojo use the scratching post every now and then. One time, the scratching post led to an experience I hoped, to everyone else, would be perplexing to the extreme.

Thus began when one day, Madison had to use the scratching post. "I need to use the scratching post Mojo!" said Madison. "Give it!" "No way, I'm using it!" said Mojo. "Madison, Mojo, please, please, PLEASE calm down! It's too harsh to argue over such a little scratching post." I said. "Please, go away!" said Mojo. He slapped me in the face. "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" I said. "OK, I'll leave you alone!" I said. Madison was so enfuriated. So, she climbed to the top of the scratching post and stood on the top of it until Mojo was done. But then, Madison weighed down the scratching post and it fell down. Madison landed on the floor and there was a great SQUAT! "Ow!" Madison groaned.

Everyone was alright, but the scratching post was broken in two. "Mojo, Madison, what the heck did you do?" asked My Mom in shock. Madison and Mojo stared at each other in guilt. "I'll have to take this to a repairer and see if they can fix the scratching post." said Mom. "Thanks for forcing me to hide!" I said to Mojo. "It proves I didn't do anything to the scratching post!" Mojo rolled his eyes in anger. "We need that scratching post!" said Mojo. After last night's party and the kittens having no sleep, the kittens were grumpy.

One week later, the scratching post came back. It looked like it was before. "The scratching post is back Mojo!" said Madison. "Here we go again!" I thought. All this scratching post chaos made me thirsty. So I got a drink from the toilet. Unfortunenty, Madison caught me drinking from the toilet. "Ewwww!" said Madison. I was mad. "I'm attacking your scratching post Madison, your mean!" I said. Madison ran toward the scratching post. I tried to get there first. Madison and I then lost control, and started to slide on the floor. We couldn't stop. And then, we slid into the carpet. Madison and I were still forced to slide. Poor Mojo was scratching on the scratching post. Madison and I crashed into him and the scratching post. Madison was pinned on the floor, since I was on top of her. Mojo was on his back. "Madison!" growled Mojo. I wasn't too psyched, so I just went back to drinking from the toilet.

The next day, the scratching post stood tall again. The kittens were sharing it this time. "Why couldn't you share before?" I asked. Mojo thought about it. Then Madison meowed out a dorky answer. "That's a trick question!" she said. Madison went back to scratching on the scratching post. I decided to scratch on the scratching post too, so I did. When I did, my claws fell off. "OWWWWWWWWWWW!" I screeched. "Lucy, scratching posts ain't for pooches!" said Mom.

My Mom assumed my claws would grow back. They did.

Then, one Sunday, I saw the kittens climb to the scratching post, and on top of Mom and Dad's entertaiment center. My sister's gingerbread house got feasted on by Madison and Mojo. After that, Madison and Mojo jumped from the top of the entertainment center, and to the top of the christmas tree. Because the christmas holiday was coming up, the christmas tree was up, and Madison and Mojo climbed up it. Madison and Mojo jumped from the top of the christmas tree and gripped onto the ceiling. Then, they started walking on it. Two kittens on the living room ceiling and walking on it. Crazy, but seemed fun! I tried it too. I got onto the ceiling, but then I fell off. "That was FUN!" I cried. I did the same thing over and over: falling off the ceiling. Who knew scratching posts could be so helpful!

The reoson I don't want to have everyone know about this story, is because, they might try it and get in trouble. My owners don't care if I or the kittens do this, but some other pet's owners might not prefer it. And it wouldn't be kind to get pets in trouble.

The moral of the story though, is that, well, scratching posts can cause chaos, but they can bring up FUN! The end, see you when I'm done falling off living room ceilings!

When it's Night, The Animals Party!

When my owners go to bed, and when they are completely asleep, Madison, Mojo and I party till- our owners wake up. So that's what I'm gonna do tonight, like all nights. First, I have to make sure I get plenty of sleep, so I have enough energy for the party. Tonight's party is gonna be so fun! Tonight, Madison, Mojo and I are inviting friends to the party. Madison and Mojo have feline friends. The cat, Leon, is in Beaumont's family. Another one of their friends are two cats that my mom's mom owns. Their names are Bell and Cocoa. Their coming for a party tonight. That's pretty much it.

My friends include, Beaumont, 3 dogs that live a few doors away from me,(Sandy, Betty, Nina), and then there's this dog named Ruby. She lives five to four blocks away. I have other friends such as Chase the sheltie, Charlie the golden retriever, and those are all the friends I can pretty much think of. All of our furry animal friends we invited were coming at 11:30 tonight. So when my owners went to bed at 11:29, Madison, Mojo and I got everything ready. Sixty seconds later, the living room was ready for a party. We had a disco ball, loud music, refreshments, (which Madison stole from the refridgorator), and lights.

We changed the channel on the TV to Animal Planet. The guests came up. First guest I saw was Leon. "Leon, glad you could make it!" said Mojo. "Of course I could make it, I live next door!" Leon said. "Oh, yeah!" said Mojo. Beaumont made to the party second. "Greetings Black Lab dawg" I said to Beaumont. Beaumont gave me a high "paw" and went to eat some cookies. Then Charlie, Ruby, Chase, Betty, Sandy, Nina, Bell, and Cocoa all came up. "Welcome to the party!" I yelled. "Let's get it started." shouted Betty. "OK!" I said.

Madison danced with Leon. "I feel 4 years longer. I haven't done this ever since I was your age Madison!" said Leon. I also invited Carter to this party too. I wonder where he is. Then, he came up. "Hi Carter" I said. Carter joined Mojo, Nina and I just to talk. "And then, the massive man made invention exploded, making thus a lesson for Eva!" said Carter, talking. We were talking about lives and how our's went. Anyway, Nina told Carter and I about this scary "ghost story" and how it would give us nightmares and blah blah blah. Then I told Carter and Nina about my life, and how this event would happen, and anyway, Nina, Carter and I kept on talking and chatting. I noticed Bell and Cocoa and Charlie were watching Animal Planet. "Up next, another episode of the new series"Animal Dung History!" said the TV guy.

"I wonder how the Beaver's dung can look at dawn!" said Charlie. "I know! This show is SO facsinating!" said Bell. "I'm gonna get some buns with butter, let me know when the Tide and whatever commercial is over!" said Cocoa. She got 4 buns with butter and munched on them. Beaumont squatted on the couch like a couch potato. He was eating some candy Madison found in one of the food storing cabinets. "Good stuff! The animal dung history series is so incredible." said Beaumont. Madison and Leon were dancing their fur off while Nina talked to me and Carter about "Copyrighted Novels!" I was bored and Carter was snoring. Nina may be a husky, but she has boring things to talk about. A LOT of boring things.

Meanwhile, Sandy and Chase were playing. . . . Checkers! Chase was winning because he won 4 checker games in a row. Sandy finally managed to win a checkers game.

On the "Dung History, Bell marveled at the show while Cocoa purred at the show. Charlie wagged his tail like a strong breeze was being created because the tail was wagging so hard and you know. Carter and I were done listening to Nina talk about "Tragic Curtains", so we went to watch The History of Dung. Nina went with us, and watched the TV too.

The disco ball Mojo set up that was hanging from the ceiling shined so bright, Leon danced his entestines out. "Man, it's almost time for me to start getting some more candy." said Beaumont. It was also 3:36 in the morning. Soon, all the pets were watching dung on television. "The dung beetles roll up the gazille dung into a dung sphere as we all know but what do the dung beetles do with their own dung? Well, the same thing happens to it just like what will happen to the gazille poop: the dung beetles use it to add to the pile of dung they make to lay their eggs on! On the next episode coming up, the dung beetles will give birth! And on that same episode, the Elephant dung and how much can be found." said the narrator from the TV.

This is an awesome party!" said Mojo. We were all out of refreshments. Anyway, my owners woke up at 6:30. During that, the dung series got better and better and better! At 5:40 in the morning, all of the party guests left, and the place got cleaned up. The room looked like there wasn't even a party at all! "What a party we had last night!" said Mojo. Madison and I couldn't agree more. Our owners would never catch us cats. But I think I could be wrong. "Where is all the food? Why is the couch hairy?" yelled Our Owner. Madison, Mojo and I hid. "Oh my gosh I must be losing my marbles!" said Our Owner. The kittens and I sighed in relief and before that, we sighed a big "PHEW!"

Animals can always outsmart their owners. Well, I have to go. Episode 46 of the dung series is on! The name of the episode: Fish and grouper dung! Just know that, if your a human, don't worry, your pets will never get caught by you. Wait, that is, if you have a pet. Just know, THE DUNG SERIES IS ON, SO GET TO YOUR TV AND START WATCHING IT!

The Winter Season Has Begin

My life has been exhausting! Almost getting frozen, solving a dog house mystery, showering Mojo with better opera voice advice, manners, trained by cats, going on vacation at Bethany, corn dog stealing, and many other crazy stuff. I need a rest.

Because winter had begun, I get a good resting time. Because the kittens can't go outside, whenever I was outside, I had the snowy backyard to myself! So today I begged to go outside, (pretty much by whimpering so convincingly, your owner has no choice but to put you outside. Works all the time), and then, I went outside and into the yard.

I avoided the yellow snow the rabbits make while I can. I avoided my own yellow snow I made myself as well. Talking about yellow snow just freaks me out, so we'll go on a different subject.

Anyway, I lie down in the snow and started to sleep for a short period of time in the snow, when I just heard Beaumont's voice. Beaumont was taking to me. I woke up to the sound of his voice. "Hi Beaumont, what do want to tell me?" I asked Beaumont.

"I just want to tell you on the dog fashion show, that that contestent we were rooting for the past few years, won the whole dog show for this year AGAIN!" answered Beaumont. "You mean that mutt, Weasel?" I asked. "Yeah, and that dog we didn't like that much who is in the dog show, lost the competition for the whole year again!" "That dog, Chalk lost for the whole year!?" I asked. "Yep, got the right to depart the competiton!" said Beaumont. Then, I heard Beaumont's owner call for him. "Beaumont, your gonna miss Chalk leave the dog show for the whole year!" "You wanna watch the dog show with me?" asked Beaumont. I thought about it. "Sure!" I said. I went in Beaumont's house, wiped my paws and watched Chalk get lost for good. Chalk's name is even boring. "It has been official that Chalk, the useless poodle, is out of the competition. But she can still gain her memories by looking at the metals she won in the previous two years" said a reporter on the television.

Beaumont's owner turned off the T. V. I went outside and went in my backyard. Beaumont stayed in his house, but I was sitting outside, whimpering. I liked it when the squrrels weren't hibernating. That was the only type of physical exersise I could get- chasing those chunky rodents, or chasing squirrels, anyway.

I went in my house for warmth. "It feels good!" I said. Madison was sleeping on the couch. I snuggled next to her. "Winter ain't my favorite season Madison" I said to Madison. "This is why Mojo and I are indoor cats" said Madison. "Being an indoor pet might be useful for winter!" I thought. I just rolled my eyes and napped. Well, before that, I chased Mojo and THEN started to nap.

Napping- better than winter!

The Corn Dog Of Addiction

Today, I felt like eating. I was hungry. Hungry for bread and pig intestines. Or a corn dog.

"Where can I find a corn dog?" I asked myself. "I'll just have to  get two helpful  kittens to help me get a corn dog!" 

The kittens heard me loud and clear.

 "We will help you find a corn dog!'' said Madison. 

"We will take any award from you Lucy!" said Mojo. 

"Ok" I said. "You help me find and capture a corn dog, I'll let you have any other corn dogs that I assign you to hoard." I said. 

"It's a deal sister!" said Madison. So the kittens and I went out and looked around for a corn dog.

 Then Mojo saw something in the kitchen. 

"Look at this!" said Mojo. 

"Oh, my gosh!" I said. Mom just put the most golden looking, juiciest, tastiest looking corn dog into the microwave!

 "Act normally!" said Mojo. We just sat down together. 

Aw, 3 pets getting along together so nicely." said my mom. She patted my head. 

"I wanted that pat!" whined Madison.

 "Come on, my mom left the corn dog on the counter. Let's get it while we can! Mojo, you watch out for any approaching humans." I said. 

"I'm on it Lucy!" said Mojo. 

"Come on Madison, you can help me get the corn dog!" I said. "What should I do?" asked Madison. "Just something, I don't know what it might be but please make it quick. Before Madison could take a step, Mojo came running in the kichen.

 "Human coming! Act normal like we were before!" said Mojo.

 The three animals sat together. 

"My three pets still getting along!" said my Mom. My Mom picked up the corn dog and walked with it upstairs. That's where her and my Dad's bedroom is. Before my Mom went upsairs, she patted Mojo. 

"What about me?" asked Madison. "Come on, we have to get that corn dog before it gets digested by a human!" I said. 

Madison, Mojo and I followed my Mom. Mom set the corn dog on a table next to her side of the bed. Then my Mom napped.

 "Now's our chance!" said Mojo. He jumped onto the table and got the corn dog! "Alright Mojo!" said Madison. I was proud of Mojo too. Cats are very useful. My Mom must have heard Mojo jump off the table, because when he did, Mom woke up.

 "My pets!?!!?!? Stealing my corn dog? I was gonna give it to you as a surprise," Mom said. 

I whimpered. "Don't worry Lucy. I'll let you and the kittens eat the corn dog!" said Mom.

So the kittens and I ate the corn dog, and I let the kittens eat any corn dogs I assigned them to steal from this day on, just as I told them earlier.

 Corn Dogs aren't the only thing in life. You can always start an easier challenge such as the burger or the hot dog. But I learned a lesson: never steal, because in the future, it might go bad. But the situation usaully has a better ending then beginning. This situation ended- with a delicous meal. And I think I smell Toast in the kitchen in the toaster right now.

Lucy's Vacation Up In Michigan (An Almost Real Story)

There is this place in Michigan called Bethany Beach. I went there for vacation. Up there they have cottages, and I stay in my aunt and uncle's cottage. Their dog, Carter is my cousin. I like seeing him. He teaches me how to get food from people, cats, and more. "The secret, said Carter, is patience!" I don't know what I would do without vacation.

Once I got to the cottage, I kissed and barked and said hi to all the people and found Carter. "Hi Cousin Carter!" I said. "Hello Lucy, it's good to see you again!" Carter said back. "Ready for more skills on how to steal food?" asked Carter. "Am I ever!" I answered.

Carter taught me that the better the whimper and the more convincing you act and look, the better of a chance you will be given food by a person. Then, it was time for me and Carter to go on a walk. We got to go to the park.

At the park, I got to run around, but Carter had to be on his leash. I played with balls that would just sit there at the park, unguarded. I fetched them as well when my owner threw them. I was overjoyed. Carter was just sitting there but he seemed happy. I went back to the cottage and then, the family left. Carter and I were in our dog cages.

"This is how you get out of the cages. Just lean against the cage door and push against it" Carter said to me. He leaned, pushed and was out of his cage. I tried too. It was simple. Carter and I roamed the cottage and played. We even chased the cat, Nikki, all around the downstairs part of the cottage. "When the family comes back, go in your cage and lock it, so our owners don't find out we can escape from our cages." said Carter. I heard our owners come in. "Get in your cage and lock it quickly!" Carter said. Carter and I went in our cages an d locked them. Our owners let us out of our cages.

"These vacations are never vacations without you!" I said to Carter. Carter smiled at me and Carter and I napped together for the rest of the day. When Carter and I woke up, it was dark. Carter looked at a clock. "7:06 P.M." Carter said. I was still tired. "Let's go to sleep for the night. It may be early, but gosh, I'm tired." I said. Carter was already sleeping. I slept at his side. The next day began as the usual ones. I was fed breakfast. The only thing that wasn't normal about the days in my life is that Carter tried to steal my breakfast, so my owners had to guard it. I decided to keep a close eye on Carter just in case.

The day went pretty good. I napped on the couch for a few hours, stayed outside for two hours, and then, my aunt made an awesome American flag costume for me. I wore it and went back to the park. Carter was at the cottage. I was running around the park with an American flag suit on my body.

That night, Carter and I watched the sun depart the sky slowly. "It's so beautiful, isn't it Carter?" I asked to Carter. "Yes!" Answered Carter. "Isn't it so amazing that the sky turns all purple, yellow, red, and orange during the sunset and when the sun completely sets, it turns all dark and the moon comes up and once the moon goes away, a new day begins?" Asked Carter. "It sure is!" I said. "It sure is." "Lucy, time to get to the road and go back to our home!" said my mom. "I have to go now Carter." I said."I'll miss you, but I will see you again" I hugged Carter, hoping no other nearby dog would notice. "Good bye Carter." I said.

The van left the cottage and my family and I hit the road. On the way home, I poked my head out the window. The wind was blowing comfortably in my fur. Then I got tired and slept on my mom's lap. It was night.

It was a long vacation. But I like my normal life too. I love a good vacation every once and a while, but my normal life is just as important to me, as my chaotic one.

Madison and Mojo Train Lucy

The story begins on a perfect Monday. Madison and I were tired out from preventing Mojo from taking mud baths, and the day before that, we were showering Mojo with ideas on how to get a better opera voice. That Mojo has been really naughty for the past 2 days.

Madison has also been a trouble maker. She always tries to escape from the back door. And always tried to drink out of mom's coffee cups. And lets not forget her always napping in MY doggie cage.

I'm also kind of naughty too though. I always bit people, exploded the candles in the living room and whenever I was supposed to do a fancy dog trick, I always did the opposite.

One day, Madison and Mojo came up to me and asked if they could teach me tricks and make me more"well behaved". "Ok," I said, kind feeling weird. I was not too sure about this. First, I learned how to fetch.

"Fetch the ball!" Madison commanded as she threw a pink doggie ball all the way across the kitchen. I fetched it like I was told. Next, it was sit. "Lucy sit!" demanded Mojo. I sat down like I was supposed to. "Good!" Said Mojo. "Fetch!" "Fetch again?" I thought. "Whatever!" Madison caught the object I was supposed to fetch. Madison threw the fetching object to Mojo. "So, this is a game of poochie in the middle!" I said. "Let's do it!"

I kept on trying to get the ball until I succeeded. Once I did, I started to work on a new trick. "Speak!" commanded Mojo, holding up a doggie biscut. I barked twice, and then accepted the doggie biscut. This was easy for Madison and Mojo, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be taught harder tricks. I mastered fetch, sit, speak, and now working on roll over. "Roll over Lucy!" said Madison. So I did. Commands were thrown at me like crazy! Madison was telling me to lie down, so I did. Mojo told me to jump! So I did!

I mastered all but one trick. That was to not explode the house the candles. It was so tempting, I couln't think about not doing it. "You can do it!" cried Mojo. After not exploding the house candles, we went over the tricks again and it was declared I was a good pooch- me, Lucy!

I needed a rest, so I sat down, and relaxed.

Witty Kitty

Madison and Mojo are so fun to have in my family. Madison seems to be pretty smart. Mojo eats eats fast and messy, while Madison, eats slowly and neatly. Madison bathes herself with her tongue. Mojo bathes in mud. I think Madison is smart, and takes her time. She uses big words too. Some such as amity, meander, bewilder and more witty words.

One morning, Madison, Mojo, and I, were eating breakfeast, when of course Mojo started to eat fast and messy.
"Mojo, don't eat like that!'' Said Madison

Mojo ignored Madison and did what he did best when eating- eating fast! I ate as fast as Madison. Madison finished her food the same time I did.

"What took you 2 so long?" Asked Mojo once Madison and I approached him. "We were eating the correct way!" Said Madison. She was frustrated at Mojo. "Madison, Mojo take it easy!" I said. "Never!" Said Mojo, refusing.

That afternoon, Mojo snuck outside and got a basket full of mud. Madison was bathing herself the right and clean way! Mojo took his weekly mud bath. When he was done Madison avoided him. "Ewwww!" Said Madison. "I'm getting far away from a clean cat like you Madison!" cried Mojo.

Madison came to me to tell me"That Mojo needs to be taught a moral!" "Patience is a virtue?" I asked. "No! That's the one Super Man needs to learn!" Said Madison."Mind your manners! And I know how to convince Mojo how to learn that. Mojo went to take another mud bath. Before Mojo got into the mud again, Madison replaced the snail slime with shampoo and soap! Then, Mojo came out cleaner than he ever had looked.

"Madison help, I am squeaky clean!" Cried Mojo. "I'll help- once you learned your lesson!" Said Madison "Always say please and thank you?" asked Mojo. "No! Mind your manners!" Answered Madison. Mojo just walked away. "I think Mojo HAS learned your lesson." Said Madison.

I just lied down on the blue lounging chair which I call The Blue Chair. Mojo was using his manners. Then Mojo chewed the head off of one of the stuffed animals in the living room. "Here we go again!" Said Madison.

An Opera Voice For Mojo

The family kittens, Madison and Mojo, were just chatting today. I listened and watched Madison and Mojo talk to each other. I overheard them talk about opera voices. Mojo is a big fan of opera.

"I wish I could be an opera singer with a good opera kind of voice," sighed Mojo.
"Maybe you can," I suggested.
"Good thinking," said Mojo. "But how?"
"Let's think about that," I said.
"Try eating a hamburger and see if your opera voice has changed," suggested Madison.

"Good idea," said Mojo. So he stole a burger from the kitchen, and ate it. "This tastes incredible," said Mojo. Mojo tried his opera voice. It wasn't what he was looking for. "Guess I'll just have to try something else," said Mojo. Madison was on the couch when Mojo approached her.
"Any other ideas? Yours didn't work," said Mojo.
I was chewing on the couch, ignoring the opera stuff. I overheard Madison say she didn't have any more ideas, so Mojo came to me.
"Got any ideas?" Asked Mojo.
I tried to think about it. Many ideas came to me. "Well, you can try these things: avoid losing your voice, practice your opera voice, eat 3-6 feet long anchovie- tomato onion lettuce salad sandwiches filled with homemade Mayo and cottage cream cheese and purple ketchup bought fesh and frozen and baked to 8-7 minutes DAILY, smell garden roses from 3 inches away, and if you do all of those things, you should suceed in getting an excellent opera voice!" I said.

Mojo wrote it all down. So, the next day, Mojo avoided losing his voice easily. Mojo spent 5 hours making 10 3-6 foot long anchovie- tomato- union- lettuce salad sandwiches, filled with homemade Mayo and cottage cream cheese and purple ketchup brought fresh and fozen and baked 8-7 minutes. Mojo ate all of the sandwiches in 4 bites.
"What a weird kitten," said Madison witnessing Mojo eat the food. Then, when mom brought in the roses from the garden, Mojo stayed 3 inches far from the roses and sniffed them. After a few days of that, Mojo tested his opera voice in front of Madison and I. Then, the most beautiful opera voice came out of Mojo's mouth. "I love it," Madison and I both said, taking each of our words out of our mouths. Mojo was proud of his new voice. And you know what? So is Madison. I love Mojo's voice too. I love opera!!!!!!!!!!!

The Mystery of the Garage Noises

Today, it was a warm, sunny day, and I was outside, on my thirty foot long leash. My dad has been in the garage for a while. My Dad was making sounds from the garage. The noise coming from the garage convinced me that my dad was building something. You could totally tell by the sounds. The sounds sounded like a saw, a hammer hammering, and other stuff like that.

The dog next door, Beaumont, was chewing on a rubber dog bone his owner gave him. I went to ask Beaumont what he thought of all the racket. "Hey, Beaumont. Do you know what that sound is coming from my garage. If not can you at least tell me a good guess," I asked Beaumont. "I can give you guess," said Beaumont. "I'm pretty sure he's building something," "But what do you think he's building," I asked. "I don't know," said Beaumont. "Thank you for the- unhelpful help," I said. I decided I wanted to be off my leash. So I barked. Dad came to undo my leash.

Once he did, he tied his shoe, and went back to work. Then one minute later, dad went in the house and came out carrying paint. My dad put the paint in the backyard. Then he went in the garage and came out carrying boards of wood. He carried those to the backyard, painted them, and nailed them together in a cubic sort of way. Only the cube had no top or bottom. Then, dad started to build a roof on the odd- looking cube. Then my dad painted my name on whatever he was building. Then, I knew exactly what dad was doing. He was building a doghouse. But who was it for? Easy! Me! "Lucy, your doghouse is ready," said Dad.

I ran inside my doghouse. I was so excited. My future was gonna be pretty interesting with THIS doghouse. "I'm so happy," I said to myself. Wait until I tell Madison and Mojo.

A Walk Around The Block

I, Lucy the dog, love exploring and marveling the nature and world around me. Sometimes, exploring and marveling the world around me can get me into trouble. It usually happens to me. But the trouble I get into is only caused by accident.

But this story begins on a cold, fall night. I was staring out the window. Every 1- 2 minutes, a car or any vehicle would pass by. I was just doing that normal window thing hat some house cats like to do in the morning. The two family kittens MY family had were named Madison and Mojo. Madison was just grooming Mojo. Their normal thing they do every night. I LOVE walks. Then, I heard my dad say "Lucy, time to go on a W-A-L-K walk." I ran toward dad. He strapped the leash on my doggie collar, put my coat on, and started walking around the block.

I started to get used to the cold wind bewildering me, but I tried to make good use of it, witch, I couldn't. The summer compared to my coat of fur is pure torture. It's COMPLETELY hot. So, I am lucky it is getting colder. And then, it got SO cold, the pink coat my dad put on me, was starting to fail. And because it was night, it was really cold. It was like air from Antarctica managed to male it to Illinois, my home state. "Hold on Dad, I need you to jog so we can get home faster, and before I become frozen solid. Then Dad started to jog. Even though humans can't understand dogs like me, Dad started to do what I asked him, when I asked him. Then, Dad reached the other side of our block. By now, I was freezing. Then Dad started to go home. Once I was by our back door, I was shivering.

When I went in the house, I told Madison ALL about how frigid the world can be. "I got in trouble by being too cold- my next door neighbor, Beaumont, avoided me because I was shivering to much and it really bugged him," I said to Madison. "Sounds horrible,"said Madison. "Trust me, it is," I said back. At least I didn't go frozen solid!
