My Cat-Dog


My Cat- Dog
by Olivia
I’m on a case to figure out if I own cat-dog. I think my cat is turning into one! Here’s my evidence so far. My Chloe (that’s my cat’s name) often scratches at the door to be let out. “Squirrel! Squirrel!” she tells me. At first, I don’t believe her. I decide to check it out. “I declare! There really is a squirrel!” I tell her. Sometimes, she pulls herself along a carpeted floor with her front paws. I bet she’s too in love with the floor to leave it. I’ve seen my cousin’s corgi do something like that before, except I don’t think he was in love with the floor.
I have another suspicion. My cat-dog chases her tail! I’ve definitely seen a dog do that. Well, I guess she doesn’t chase her tail, but she does bite it! Sometimes she even growls at it. “Ooh! Ooh!” she tells me. “My tail is moving! It’s wiggling! It’s so exciting! I must get it! I must get it! I’m a cat-dog so I must catch my tail!”
This is so weird for me. It must stop. Hmm. Perhaps, No…. Wait………Yes! I’ve got it! (not my tail) If my cat is turning dog, then I should pretend she is one! Yep! Hang on, I need to make a trip to the pet store. Alright. Let’s try this. I have never owned a dog, but I have seen how my friends take care of theirs.
“Here girl!” I tell my new dog. “Go get it!” she doesn’t get it. “Go get the new rubber ball I bought for you!” Ugg. At least she sort-of went after it. I guess this dog can’t play fetch. This changes my thoughts. I guess I should try the two other things I bought at the pet store……
“Come girl!” Let’s try out this new collar and leash! I found my dog and put on her collar and leash. “Let’s go for a walk!” I tell her. I tug on the leash. She stays put. I tug on it again. Nope. That darn dog. On my last tug she flopped down on her side and WOULD NOT BUDGE! That’s it. I’m done. Outta ideas. I obviously still have a cat…. She’s just…strange. Well, I have to return the leash, collar, and rubber ball I bought! Case closed.

Surprise or Not

Thursday was the day before my dad's birthday, so Mom, Callie, and I went to the Burger Dive and Dairy Queen to buy gift cards for him.  At suppertime my family was talking about a friend who went to the Burger Dive.  I asked my mom if she saw him there.  She stared at me. My sisters started asking if we went to the Burger Dive.  I tried to remind my mom, "Mom, don't you remember? We went there today for Dad's gift card. Don't you remember?" She stared pointedly at me.  Dad laughed and asked if we got him a Burger Dive gift card.  We all burst out laughing. It doesn't end there though.  Mom began talking about how busy the Burger Dive was and my sister, Callie said, "Not as busy as Dairy Queen!" Another birthday gift cover blown!

Quaratine

                       I think we all feel about the same about being quarantined, but I would like to tell you about what I think. it is awesome to spend time with my family. I've had a bit more time to do out door activities but all of our fun events got canceled like Church, youth group, and soccer. I do get to stay in touch with friends even though we don't get to actually see them. my family and I  have youth group on zoom and we get to watch church on our tv. School keeps me busy so I'm not bored out of my mind but over all I wish we didn't have to do this.    

Silas's honest paragraph

                                                   The over used expression There is a word that I hear nearly 10 times a day. This word is the reason we are not meeting here today. Yes, I believe that it is a good idea to social distance, but why don’t we take our minds off of this pandemic for at least an hour. All I See is memes about this word. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about and that’s why I’ve decided not to say it. So far I’ve lasted 6 days without saying this word.
