"Dogtastic" by Crystal from Miss Parish's Class

Woof!!! I wonder what could have made that noise. One regular Friday afternoon turned into the most spectacular day of my life. On this particular Friday everything was dull like always. The bus was noisy; the grass was turning brown and well, the sun barely came out. Plus, there was nothing to do. When I got off the bus from school, my parents were standing there with great big smiles on their faces. I was wondering why?

Suddenly, when I approached them, their smiles were even more suspicious. When I asked my mom why they were smiling like that, something interrupted me, the sound that cut my speech off was familiar, but when I asked my mom, she said “ Crystal, go look in the backyard” and I said “ Okay” in a wondering voice. When I looked around everything seemed the same. Then I asked my mom what she was talking about, she instructed me to go look in the shed. I did what I was told, and when I looked inside the shed I saw a small baby English bulldog. I was ecstatic!!!!!!
I thought I was going to pass-out, but thank God didn’t.
“What is her name?” I said anxiously.
“Well,” mom said, “She doesn’t have a name, so you have to name her.”
Names are easy! Right off the bat, I thought of the perfect name –Brandy Hernandez! My new pup was now officially part of the Hernandez family. My mom and dad kept on rambling about how I have to feed her, walk her, and give her baths. Parents always talk of responsibility. I was listening, well kind of, while my new dog and I were rolling on the grass. It was remarkable!!!

None the less, the day was starting to come to an end, so everyone scrambled inside, still energized. Once inside, we all said “good night” to Brandy, the new member of the Hernandez family. You never know, anything can pop-up in your backyard so be prepared. “Woof”! That was Brandy’s way of saying “Goodnight”.
