I Named My Dogs the Strangest Names
I named my dogs the strangest names, not simply "Spot" or "Rover." Instead I named them "Fetch" and "Stay" and "Here Boy" and "Roll Over." Not "Lassie," "Patch," or "Fido." No, instead they're "Shake" and "Crawl" and "Turn Around" and "Take a Bow" and "Come" and "Wave" and "Ball!" I gave them these abnormal names to see what they would do. I thought it would be fun but, sad to say, that isn't true. And now I'm sort of sorry for the crazy names I used. My dogs cannot do any tricks; they're all just too confused.

Pets

I like pets The howl of a dog The purr of a cat I like pets

Summer

Scorching hot sunburn Swimming in sparkleing waters Making sandcastles in the smooth sand Slip Slop Slap with sunscreen

~Me, Aisling and Monique V.

DOGS Woof Woof goes the dog

Guard their owners from people
