Pet I’ve known

” Mom!!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs-even though she was standing 2 feet away. ” I found the perfect little puppy from the litter!”
We all called her rainbow collar. She was the cutest little thing! To be able to differentiate the different puppies, they have on different little colored collars. I knew by the way that she put out her energy that she was the puppy for us.
Now we have her and she is 6 years old. She is so special to us. She makes us smile and laugh everyday. She knows what we feel and she is always there for us. Nikita Is our first dog and we love her to death! We have two other dogs now which are Nobu and Nia. The are both special to us but in different ways. I love our dogs. Ever since I set eyes on them.

I am From…

I am from the colorful rooms,from the dog toys,from the bath scents.

I am from the two story house, with the old furniture.

I am from the palm trees in the front yard.

The flowers petals that have fallen off in the cold weather.

I am from the long line of over achievers and happiness.

From Valerie and John.

I am from the active and organized lifestyle, and from the telling of our best thing and our worst thing of our day.

I am from the lullabies that made me go to sleep and from the hopes and dreams, and from the never give up saying.

I am from the big family reunions.

I am from Austin,Texas and from the Germans, British,and Czechoslovakia,and the kolaches during Easter.
From the endless smiles from my mom when she sees all of us. From the recurring memories that I have every day.

Rain

The thump against my bedroom window. I can see luquid mud falling from the gutters, it’s more like water with a little bit of mud mixed in. I run downstairs because I had a sudden craving for ice cream when i spot or little home made drain was clogged up. The driveway was starting to fill up with water.
I grab my rain boots and the stick we use to unclog it and run outside. I find the opining and pierce the surface, I jump ontop of the ledge and go through the other side of the hole. The water was now gushing out onto the grass. “My job is done here.” I think to myself.

Perfection

I lay with my earbuds shoved into my ears, the cool water of the pool is right beside me. The sun is blazing hot. My favorite song roars in my earbuds as I close my eyes and relax.
Mouthing the words I start to think “could this day get any better?” Then my best friend jumped into the pool and splashed me with water from her cannon ball.
“Great, now I’m all wet,” I say with a smirk.
She giggles while saying ” now your gonna be soaked!”
Wrenching my earbuds out of my ears I knew what was going to happen. She pulls me from my feet and makes me flop into the pool. I clenched my teeth as I went underwater.
Yes, now this day was perfect. No, it might not sound perfect to you, but to me it was. That is my way of thinking something is perfect.
“Today is a day that I will remember for a long time,” I think to myself.

Reading and You

Reading… well it really isn’t my thing. I’d rather listen to books than to read them. I get my letters mixed up and it really bothers me a lot, but i am getting better! I don’t get sucked into a book right away. I have to find a really good book. If I find a book that is amazing then I like to read. Once I finish that book I’m back into that position again, I have to find another. I try to find a book that is even better than the one before, but it is really hard. I personally like mysteries or suspenseful books. I don’t like non-fiction because usually I feel like I’m in school. I hope that I will find a good amount of books this year that I like! I am so excited to be at WRMS this year!!!
