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.
