Part Two:

The man went over and tried very hard to close the doors while the wind was fighting back. The two doors flew open again. It was too hard to close them, so he brought the dogs inside. Walking, well more like running than walking. The rain was coming down hard!. They finely got to the house, when a cat appeared, then Daisy, who was the mama dog, went chasing after the cat. The man tried to grab her, but he couldn’t because he was holding on to the puppies, usually Daisy would stay with him. But there was something about that night, one puppy had died, Daisy had ran away, that night was just not going good for the man. So he got all of the pups inside. He went to the kitchen, and put the pups in and set up the baby gate so that they couldn’t get out, and cause more and more trouble. So the man went outside to try to find Daisy. He started looking with his flashlight in the right hand and a leash in the other. He called for her many times, but she still didn’t come. The man looked for Daisy for at least two hour's, while he was looking, he remembered about the pups, so he decided to go home and pray that she would come back. He prayed half the night. Then he went to sleep, so that he would have energy for the next day of looking.

Part Three:

But by the time he was ready the next morning, when he opened the front door Daisy was laying there looking like she was exhausted, but not enough to stop her from getting up and seeing her owner. She was very glad to see him and so was he. She was also very happy to see her babies as well. The next morning while the puppies were eating the man was grooming Daisy. He hugged her and kissed her and she licked him all over his face. Suddenly he remembered that his grandkids were coming over to spend the night. When he realized that, the door bell rang. He went to the door expecting his grandkids, but it turns out that it was the UPS truck delivering a package for him. He said thank you to the man and went to the living room to open the box. It was just the dog bowls for the pups. Because he didn’t have bowls for them, he ordered some. But soon after that, the door bell rang again. This time he knew it was his grandkids, because he could hear them fighting over who was going to sleep on the bed in the spare room. Most of the time he decided who slept in the room, well they all slept in the room, but someone would sleep in the bed the rest of them slept on the floor with their sleeping bags. Anyway the man didn’t want them to know about the puppies, so he hid them in his room, because they would probably fight over them, too. But unfortunately you can’t keep secrets from grandkids. There are 4 of them, and they are a little bit younger in age, so it’s kind of hard to get them to understand that they can’t have everything. Later he got them to sleep. But Tommy who was a light sleeper could hear a tiny little whining sound. He got out of his sleeping bag and went into his Grandpa’s room and found the pups.

Part Four:

Tommy the little boy, who was there with the puppies, cried out,
“puppies!”.

The man raced in to see who had yelled. When he got there, he saw that Tommy had found the pups. Soon it became morning and his grandkids had to get packing to leave soon. They were very distracted because of the pups. All of the kid’s loved the puppies. The pups loved them too. The door bell rang and it was their mother. They all ran down the stairs and while they were running their mother opened the door and said,

”don’t run in the house”.

“Oh Trixie, let them run, they’re just kids”, said the man.

“Ya, kids who need to learn some manners” she said back to him.

He was walking closer and when he got there, he looked her straight in the eye and said,

“it’s been a long time hasn't it?” He hugged her.

As he was hugging her, the kids raced out the door and because they were ready to go. They ran across the yard, opened the car door and jumped in. The man waved goodbye to his daughter and his grandkids.

Part Five:

Daisy came running up to him, she was wondering why the kids had left. She loved the kids and the kids love her. It soon became Summer then Fall and the pups were getting bigger, then from Fall to Winter. The pups soon became big enough to sell. When it was Summer again, every Saturday the people of the town had something called the saturday market. That first day of the saturday market, the man put the pups in a wood crate and went out the door. He put the pups in the front seat of his truck and drove off. Soon after that he was there and setting up. By the time he was done, he put up a sign that said, PUPPIES FOR SALE, MALE $100, FEMALE $200. People passed and passed. A few kids passed with their parents, the kids stared at the pups begging their moms and dads to buy one, but they ignored them and kept walking.

One person stopped and fell in love with the little puppies, She was an older woman. She asked how much the puppies were,

“the boys are $100 and the girls are $200”, he said back to her.

“How many boy puppies do you have?” she asked him.

He said, “I have three boys”.

“Thank you”, she said in a firm voice, “I’ll take that one”, pointing at one of the boy pups.

“Ok that will be $100”, he said to her.

The woman gave him a check, then the man had her fill out a form that told him she would be a good owner. When she got finished, she took the pup out of the crate and left. When it was 5:00pm the man started to clean up. First he cleaned up his tent, then he cleaned up his table. Last but not least he grabbed the crate with the four remaining pups, and also got his cash box. Then he balanced it between his chin and the crate. He put the pups in the truck and drove off. When he got home there was still four pups left. Daisy was very excited that they were home. She was so excited that she was jumping all over him. A few times he would say,

“NO, GET DOWN!”

Because of all the stuff he was carrying. But Daisy would still not stop, she was really excited. The man went to his living room and set all of his things down he let out a sigh. He gently picked up each pup and put them down on the floor. Then he sat down in his chair and read the newspaper. He didn’t get a chance to read it earlier. After he ate his dinner and fed the dogs, it was getting late so he went to bed. The next morning he got up and went down the stairs, someone was ringing the door bell. The man went to the door and opened it. It was a young woman, looking for some puppies for her child. The man invited her in. The woman asked if the puppies were still for sale.

“Well...yes yes they are”, he said.

“How much”? she said back to him.

“Do you want a boy or a girl?” he asked softly.

“I don’t know, can you bring them out for me to see them?”

“Yes I can, just wait one moment please.”

She sat down on his couch, at that moment all of the pups raced out of the mans bedroom, and they all jumped everywhere in excitement that some one was there. The woman quickly stood up in surprise. She had never in her life had a puppy before, so she didn’t know how to take care of them. The man showed her each pup and told her which ones were boys and which ones were girls. She stood up and said, give me time to think about it, and she left. He sat in his chair and Daisy came running to him and put her front paw’s on his lap, he patted and said,

“Good Girl.”

Part Six:

The next morning, the man got up at the sound of a very sad wine, like something was hurt. He look around his house until he got to his living room, he saw Daisy laying on the floor wining. He didn’t know what was wrong, so he called the vet, and they told him to come immediately. He hung up and started to load Daisy in to his truck, after that they drove away. When they got there he took Daisy out of the car and carried her in. The whole time they were in the car she wined and wined. It was very sad. wile they waited there was a puppy beside them waiting for a check up. Daisy picked up her head and tried to sniff the puppy. After that it was time for Daisy to go in. She doesn't like the vet very much. because it usually mean’s getting a shot or have her tempter taken. But after ward’s she get’s a treat, and all she really wants is the treat and nothing else. Once they got into the room, Daisy to freak out. She was running in circles even though there was no room for running. The man was trying to get her to stop and lay down. Once the vet came in, Daisy ran to the corner and put her tail between her legs. The man pulled her over and the vet told her that it was going to be alright as she gave her a treat. At last she settled down. The man sat on the chair while she laid on the floor. The vet sat down too and asked what was wrong with Daisy, the man started to explain what had happened. After ward she did a normal check up where she listened to her heart and everything else. The vet asked if she had eaten anything strange, he told her that she had eaten and entire sock.

“You told me that, anything else?” the vet probed.

“no, not that I know of.” he replied.

“Okay, keep a close eye on her, give her these pills with her breakfast and dinner.” the vet told him.

He paid for everything and loaded Daisy in the car. As they were driving home, the puppies were getting into some trouble. The man had put the ups in the kitchen and put up a baby gate to keep them in there. But he was in such a hurry that he had not closed it all the way, one of the pups always tried to get out. He would ram against the gate until it fell over. Al the pups were running around the house, so happy to escape the kitchen and have fun. One puppy found a shoe, another one found a pillow while the other two were chasing each other around and around. The front door opened and in walked the man carrying Daisy. They had destroyed everything, he set Daisy down on the couch and stared at the puppies in disappointment. Three of the pups put their tails between their legs while the pup that always gets out just kept chewing on a pillow and stared at the man like nothing happened. By the end of the day everything was cleaned up, everyone was fed and the all lived a long and peaceful life.

The End.

Recently I bought an airsoft gun with my birthday money. It is a replica of an M14 that was used in the Vietnam war to present day. It is a bolt action rifle in real life but mine is an automatic because it’s an airsoft toy gun. Me, my brother and my friend Robbie are putting an airsoft team together. One of my friends found a place up in the foothills where we can play without bothering anyone. I am making targets to practice on. I am making them out of shoeboxes and cardboard. I would also like to make a gillie suit. It is a suit that helps you blend into your surroundings. I am going to use it for our airsoft battles because I am a sniper for the team.

I started fencing classes last week at the YMCA. It’s one of the most fun things I have ever done. Right now I am learning all of the blocks and attacks. There are three types of fencing:

Foil
Sabre
Epee

I am learning Foil. I also went snowboarding with my friends Grady and Doug. It was a blast!

One day there was a skeleton downtown. He went in the ice cream shop but it was useless because it just fell out of him. Then he went into the clothing shop and bought a few clothes, they where a little too big because he was so skinny but he just wore them because he was embarrassed walking around with no clothes on. so he just wore the baggy clothes anyway. Then he saw saw two guys with the same style of clothes and decided it must be cool. He went to the hat shop and bought a hat, now no one knew he was a skeleton.

The Desert Island - by Tristan

Once on an island, a desert island there was a hotdog named Bob. Bob was hot and thirsty but then he found and oasis where he took a bath, drank half the water and ate all the fruit from the trees. He found a car and an AK-47 with four magazines. Bob walked four miles and met the ocean. He then ran in the other direction but got very tired. Then he walked 6 miles where he found a boat. He got in and started it. He was flying across the water happily but hit a sand bar, flew through the air and landed on the beach with a thud. He decided to build a fire and think about his problem, he was too close to the fire so the smell of him started wafting through the air into the jungle. He heard a noise, looked up and realized the island was not deserted. At the tree line there was a group of natives he knew he had to run, but then remembered his AK-47. He felt sad when he had killed all the natives so he took off running again. He tripped on a huge rock and it was not a rock after all. It was a giant crab buried in the sand. That was the end of Bob the Hotdog.
