Vocabulary Free Post- Getting a Dog

    Ever since I was little, I had always dreamt of having a pet, but my mom was never a big fan of animals. She hated the idea of shedding, barking or pee in her house. Finally my dad convinced her of getting a poodle. I was utterly shocked that she agreed. We picked a toy poodle in Houma that was small and had quiet parents. In fact, Lucy was the runt of her litter. The day that we were supposed to pick up Lucy, I remember my parents giving me a speech about how I had to take care of her. At the time, I wasn't aware of how big of an undertaking taking care of a dog was actually going to be.
   When we arrived at the breeders house, there were so many puppies in her living room, that I was little overwhelmed. They were all crying or sleeping. When the breeder handed me Lucy I instantly loved her. She was so small and cute. I couldn't wait to take her home. The breeder had my dad sign some papers while I played with our new puppy. She slept for the whole two hour drive home. It was hard to believe she was actually mine. When we got home, my mom was waiting for us at the door. Surprisingly, she also fell in love with our puppy.
   That night Lucy refused to go into her kennel. She also cried all night, which made me really upset, mostly due to lack of sleep. I felt terrible that she was so unhappy, but my parents reassured me that it was only a matter of time before she would be settled in. After a few weeks, she grew accustomed to her new home. Now she loves us and we love her. She has become the fifth member of our family, and I am so happy that we got a dog.

    When I got my dogs, they also took a few weeks to get used to their new home. They barked every night and it also made me feel bad for them. Good job!

Describe a time when you were very scared

  During last year's flood, our power had gone out. My family didn't worry because we were used to the power being out. Earlier that day, I had gotten a text from a friend that lives in my neighborhood, saying that there were some men going around trying to rob empty houses. I didn't think anything of the text because something like that had never happened in our neighborhood before. I remember it being pretty dark outside, so it must have been around eight pm. I was sitting on the couch with my dog when I heard a bang on the door. Then I saw a shadow pop up in front of the door, along with more banging. My mom rushed my sister and I into her room, while my dad went to investigate.    My mom manually set off the alarm in an attempt to scare away the attempted burglar. I was supposed to call 911. It was my first time every having to call the police. My sister was freaking out, and I was shaking holding the dog. It took the police almost twenty minutes to get to our house, d

All About Me

   My name is Grace and this is my first year at Episcopal. My favorite color is pink, and my favorite animal is a flamingo. In my free time I like to draw or do projects. My favorite food is spaghetti, but my favorite meal is dessert. I have one younger sister who is in sixth grade. I also have a toy poodle named Lucy, and she is a drama queen. If you leave a pillow or a fuzzy blanket out, you better be sure she will be laying on it when you come back. She also loves to steal your chick-fil-a nuggets when you aren't looking, but she can be super sweet when she wants to be.    This summer we went to Canada. It was my first time going to Montreal. We went up in the mountains, and it was so beautiful. The weather was amazing; one day we woke up and it was 45 degrees! There was so little humidity, that it made me not want to go home. We went white water rafting, zip lining, and rock climbing, but my favorite was white water rafting. The town we were in was actually a popular ski reso
