–By @ 5th grade
I yawned as I awoke. “A new day of hunting!” I thought. I walked slowly into the basement where my dad’s friend let us stay. “Good morning!” My dad greets me. I had been up almost all night last night. I didn’t notice how nice it was to have a TV, fridge, and my favorite of all her dogs, Otto. My dad was on the couch on his computer. I grabbed the remote and flicked the TV on. I tried to put on something that my dad would like as well as me. I did that because I know he doesn’t like cartoons.
“Is it time?” I asked. “Ya.” My dad answered. I went up stairs. When I got to the stairs I opened the gate to let the dogs out. The two German Shepherds came down first. The curly haired one came down second. The little rodent named Bell didn’t come down. I went back down. I opened the door, As soon as I did there was a race to get out first. Bang, Crash, Boom. I knew that it was ball time for the dogs. I couldn’t though. The other dog was still missing. I asked my dad if he saw the dog. He said “Ya it was a pain in the neck to get from place to place. It’s in the cage upstairs.” “Great.” I said I as I went back upstairs.
Sure enough there was Bell. When she saw me she automatically started to bark. I didn’t want to deal with it, so I just opened the cage door and she ran out. I went back downstairs again. “Dad. Can I go outside and play with the dogs before we go out?” I asked “Sure.” My dad replied. I went outside, grabbed a tennis ball an threw it as hard as I could. Dandy and Otto went flying after the ball. Otto had some speed, he was the one to get the ball first. I threw the ball one more time. Dandy waited down where the ball went last time I threw it. Otto was still very fast but not fast enough. Dandy caught this one. Dandy doesn’t share and doesn’t have very good sportsmanship. I watched as Otto tried harder and harder to get the ball but Dandy is a hog. I let it be. I knew Dandy would let go eventually.
I went back inside. My dad was still on the couch. I said,”I think it’s time to let the dogs in. Then we can go out.” “Okay.” My dad answered. I rushed out side and called the dogs. “Otto, Dandy, Bell!” I yelled. Only Otto, Dandy, and the curly haired dog that I forgot the name of showed up. “Where’s Bell?” I asked to myself. I let the rest of the crew in before I went looking for Bell. I let the dogs in. When I shut the door I heard scratching at it. There was Bell. I felt relieved. She came in the door and started barking. I didn’t know how aggressive she could get so I didn’t take the risk. I forced her back into the cage. I went back down the stairs followed by Otto and Dandy. “Hay, dad?” “Ya.” He answered. “Can we give it another hour before we leave?” “Sure.” He replied.
