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 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.
