Fancy
by Brandon

My dog Fancy, is a Greatdane. She is a very mean dog but she is very nice to company and me and mean to strangers. My good dog Fancy is very big and strong she can pull a tire any place. The tire is to slow her down.

Fancy is a deaf dog and my mom saved her from getting killed because she was deaf on a puppy farm. My mom got fancy for free. My dog Fancy some times dose not pay attention.

When she gets exited she runs in to things. I like to play hide and go seek. She likes to get scratched on the belly. I love my dog Fancy.

My dog Shilo
by Cheyenne

My dog ,Shilo, where I got him was when my moms dog had puppies he was one of the cutest ones so I wanted him. When I first saw him I fell in love with him. I wanted to take him home every time I saw him but I couldn’t yet But pretty soon I got to take him home.

The way he smelled was weird. Sometimes he smelled like fresh air. Sometimes he smelled like a wet rag. I did not like when he smelled like a wet rag but you had to live with it. I mean what would you do? Because theirs nothing you can do but oh well he’s just a dog.

What he looks like is hard to describe. But he kind of looks like well he has white on his tail, and he’s a yellowish brownish color. I think that he is cute. He is one of the cutest dogs I ever seen.. I hope he stays in my family for a while. If he doesn’t then I’ll miss him.

by Chanel

My dog Babe has been with are family for years. she is mixed with terror and boxer she has black white and brown fur .

How I can tell my dogs been some where. I can tell by her smell if she smells like trash then she's been in the trash. That usaly means that she needs a bath. We wouldent whant her to smell like that all day long . When she needs a bath she runs around are house and starts playing tug a war with are socks. Then we finaly get her in the tub. When we get her in and start bathing her, she starts shaking and soap go’s every where!. Thats the hasel of Bathing are dog. Then we start drying her off and she runs out of the bath room and runs tord are carpet and starts rolling on it . I don’t know what I would do without my dog. Life would not be so fun without her.

A Man’s Best Friend
Ethan

My dog’s name is Matilda Sue Lavender. My dog, Matilda, is blue brindle with a big white spot on her chest. Matillda is an American pit bull, but she’ll never hurt anyone on purpose.

We found out about her on the bulletin board at Mijer in Muskegon. On a Friday, but on Sunday my sisters, brother and I stayed at my grandpa and grandma’s house. When we got home that night my mom and dad surprised us with Matilda. My mom and dad got her at a man’s house in White Cloud. When my brother, sisters and I first seen Matilda she was as small as the palm of my hand.

Matilda’s birthdate is January 19,2000. She is 2 years old. She is almost 3. January 19 is also my dad’s birthday.

Matida makes a lot of different sounds. Like when she wants to go outside she wines at the door or when she is playing she makes loud barks, but she makes the same sound when someone knocks at the door. Sometimes she scares me when she barks.

Matillda is a very hyper dog. She likes to play a lot when we don’t play with her sometimes she’ll chase are cats Mel and Buffy. When we were watching my grandma’s bird the cats would try to get him, but Matillda would knock them right of the birdcage and saved the bird. The bird, Buddy, was very thankful.

When my family and I come in the door Matillda jumps on us. What she also dose is she waves hi. She gets very very hyper.

Matillda is a smart dog. She can say hi, sometimes rollover, say please, sit, lay and kind of sing. She also can sometimes give you hugs.

Matillda is a good dog.

My Dog Max
Ashley H.

My dog, Max, is a golden retriever. He has kind of wavy hair on his back. His hair is a light-yellowish color. He also has beautiful brown eyes. Max weighs eighty-four pounds and he’s four years old. Max is very friendly with people and with other dogs.

The way we got Max was at the Manistee county fair. Around ware the horse’s part at the fair was a lady that was selling her puppies. I got so excited that I asked my mom is I could get one. When I ran up to her and her dogs I saw one that I adored. He was a white color and he was the one I wanted. That dog I liked was Max. He was so cute. He had beautiful white hair. I bent down on my knees and held him in my arms. My mom thought he was a cutie. I asked my mom if I could get him but she said," I’ll think about it. " I keep thinking about what I should name him on the way back home. I mentioned air bud but that was an over board joke. My mom said how about Max? The family had agreed.

It was about a week before I got Max. The day I got Max was when my babysitter Deana had brought her dog over and started to teach me how to take care of a dog. Then coming down the road was my moms’ car. When they hoped out I saw what I wanted to see. It was Max! I was so glad. I wanted to hold him and hold him and I did. I saw he was scared so we took him inside the house and he got used to it eventually. The first night he stayed he cried. I took a blanket and put it down by his cage and took him out of the cage and he laid there with me on the blanket. After that he was fine.

As years went bye we had moved into our new house. I had found out out ways Max communicates. Like when he rolls over he wants to get his belly rubbed. Or when he sits and stairs in our window and whines he wants to come in the house. Also when he whines and is looking at my food he wants it. I’m glad Max is in our family. I love max a ton and I wish he could live forever.

Princess
by Stephen

It all started when I was in third grade. My mom and I were coming back from Lansing to see my dad every week. One day I told my mom I got to board in the car so we decided to find a dog. We looked and looked until we found an ad in the paper that had a dog for sale. So we went to the place that the ad said to go to and picked her up. I gave my mom ten dollars so she could be my dog too. My mom gave the guy another 90 dollars. We took her home and showed her to my dad. My dad almost fainted when he saw her. Probably since we already had a golden retriever.

My dog’s name is princess and she is a Pomeranian dog. She is very fury but she doesn’t shed much. She’s cute and very warm she has a lot of fleas she weighs 10 pounds.

One time when we were going down to Lansing she ran away and we looked and looked until we still couldn’t find her. So we told my brother to look for her. He didn’t find her. So finally we gave up then a week later someone called us and they found her it was so great I jumped for joy.

And that is the story of princess.

My Cat Vaga
by Orion

My cat Vaga is still a kitten. But she is a big kitten though. She is really, really fury. But in the summer she sheds so much we usually have to let her be outside when she sheds. Her fur color is different shades of gray, and her tummy is mostly white. Also she is a rare cat, she is a bunch of mixes and that’s what makes her extra special.

My mom got my cat at a pet store or a vet or some place that I don’t know about. My mom chouse Vaga because Vaga jumped out of her cage with her tail strait up in the air. An came Vaga right up to my mom and started purring, and stared right at her. So that’s how I got Vaga.

Her favorite thing to do is to go outside and catch and eat rodents and birds and basically anything that scurries and stuff. An I don’t have any idea why she catches and gives no mercy to rodent. Maybe she’s crazy or something, I don’t know…

But she’s my favorite cat I ever had.

My Turtle, Speedy
Thomas

I'm going to you about my turtle , Speedy. His full name is Speedy Gonzoils Koon. He is friendly to me but not to friendly other people.

I found him at my baseball party. When I found him he was all covered with mud and a little bit of dirt.

I asked my dad if I could keep him. He said yea. For the car ride home I put him in a cup of water. Then when I got home I put him in a plastic tub that my sister had all her Barbie's in.

Speedy eats worms, and I give him 3 to 5 worms a day. He can bite a worm in half. Some times he leaves half the worm are hind. My mom uses a pencil to get the worms out.

Once when I was looking for him, I pushed down to hard and I heard a hissing sound. Another time he bit the right in half and you could hear his jaws hit each other.

Now he is hibernating because it is winter. Once and a while he will dig himself 1 or 2 inches deep, and when he does that it is hard to find him.

My Guinea pig.
By Matt

Last summer in August was my birthday. My mom took me to the pet store. I planned on getting a duck, but they’re weren’t any .So I looked around in the rodent section. There were mice, gerbils, and hamsters. I was going to get a hamster but I saw a guinea pig.

He was really cool. I really wanted him. So I got him. As soon as I got home I needed a tank to put him in. I found an old small pool .I put him in that.

I named him Andrew. He has blond and white hair. He weighs about 1 pound. He is about 6 months old but very big. His favorite foods are apples, carrots, celery, and lettuce. He really likes attention. I bring him upstairs and play with him. And every morning he waits for my brother to go down and pet him. My brother and sister both have hamsters. My guinea pig likes to play with them. I think he makes a good pet.
