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.
