APPLE BOBBING
One day there were three dogs called Macy, Bella and George.
Macy is a Staffordshire bull terrier, Bella is a Yorkshire terrier and
George is an English bull terrier. We were all going to the Heath
so that we could walk the dogs. "I can`t wait... George aren`t you
looking forward to our walk?" screamed Macy! "Yes of course
I am.... I can get up to more mischief!" whispered George.
All three giggled. "Bella, are you looking forward to our walk
too?" said Macy. "Yes Wohoo! we`re going for a walk and next
doors dogs aren`t!" sang Bella. "Bella don`t get too carried away"
GEORGE, MACY AND BELLA.
Macy said, "Well you do" said Bella.... "You can never get too
carried away!" said George. All three laughed and laughed until
their tummys hurt. "Doggies, time for walkies" I said, "Yes
walkies everyone!" shouted Bella. We all went out the door. On
the way to the Heath John (my uncle) found a massive apple.
"Oh I want it" said Macy. "No I do" squealed George. Just
then, John threw the apple. George and Macy chased after it.
Macy got it. She carried it a little way then dropped it, so I
carried it. We walked over the bridge next, then we walked
through the grass and to a river. I found a small apple too. I
threw the big apple in the river. Macy and George rushed in.
Macy got it and brought it out. "Aren`t you coming in too?"
"No way" screamed Bella. Next I threw the small apple.
George got it this time. I threw the small apple and the big
apple a couple more times. Then I threw the big apple in and
before Macy got it, it floated downstream. Macy swam down,
and SUDDENLY it became deeper and deeper. Macy got all
her face scratched on the overhanging thorn bushes. She was
swimming for dear life, she left the apple downstream and
swam back to us, Then she got out. "Is your face alright?"
said Bella. "Yeah is it" said George. "Yes it`s all right, thank
you, It`s just a bit sore" said Macy. So we went home and the
dogs went to sleep after their big adventure.
GEORGE AND MACY
SWAN LAKE
This adventure all began when when we were going to the Lakes. We
went in the car as usual to the Lakes. "Oh I hate going in the car, it
makes me feel sick" said Macy "Don`t worry, at least we get our walk"
said George. "Yeah" said Bella. "I suppose so" said Macy. When we
got there, we walked round, it was all muddy and yucky. "Yes we`re out
now" shouted Macy. "I`m going to go over to the trees and have a sniff
about!" whispered George. All of the dogs laughed again. "Oh George
you do get up to a lot of mischief" Bella said. "I know I do" whispered
George. We all made our way up to the adventure playground. "When I
had been in the adventure playground, we went up to the lake. When we
came to the lake we saw some Swans. "Oh, cool, there are Swans!"
shouted George. "Oh no, you`re not going to start jumping around them
are you? It frightens me!" said Bella. "Yes I am, don`t be scared, they`re
only swans" said George. "Yes it`s fun" said Macy. But Macy never did
do it. Just at that moment George started jumping around the Swans!
"Oy you Swans, come and get me, na na na na na" Shouted George! "I
will get you!" said the Swan, And the Swan started chasing George.
GEORGE, MACY AND SWAN!
"uh oh!" shouted George. Then we all made our way back,
and the dogs had a nice sleep.
OH NO! THERE`S SHEEP IN THE FIELD.
Today we went to the lakes "I can`t wait until we go on our walk"
screamed Bella. "Neither can I, you know what I like to do" George
said trying not to giggle. "Yes we know you like to get up to mischief"
said Bella and Macy. I put the leads on all of the dogs. We were going to
the Lakes. The dogs were very excited. As we made our way up past the
Sheep field George pulled the lead, which pulled me along too.
Suddenly all three dogs were following George, he ran over to the
Sheep field. There was a big hole in the fence! George went in
"BAAAAA!" The Sheep said. "Wait, I only want to be your friend"
George kept saying. "George come back" Macy said. In the end
I had to go in with Georges lead, and I pulled him to the car and we
all went home, and Macy, George and Bella snuggled up in their bed.
