First place: “Bailey’s Adventures” By Lillian Ross Once upon a time, my family and I had a dog named Bailey. He was such a good pup. But when he was 3 years old, he ran off! My Dad went looking for him all day, but he still could not find him. We were getting so worried about him. But Bailey met another dog named Lucy…I think Bailey is going to have a girl-friend! hen a couple days later, Bailey came back with his girlfriend! So I asked “Can we keep Lucy?” Then Mom said “Yes. “Yea!” I said. Also, Bailey and Lucy ran away many other times. So now, I’m going to tell you some other things about their adventures. One time, we were eating lunch, and they ran away! They ran away for 5 days, then they came back. Another time, Lucy and Bailey ran away while we were on vacation and when we got back, they were gone! But then a day later, they came back. So then Dad said to Bailey and Lucy “This will be the last time you run away.” Dad kept an eye on them and they were sad, but Bailey and Lucy found a way out! Dad got really mad at Lucy and Bailey. So when they got home, they got in trouble. The had to stay in their cages for one day. But when dad saw their sad puppy-dog eyes, he could not stand them. He let them out and Bailey and Lucy were so happy! But then dad said “If I let you stay out, you have to not run away, is that clear?”. Then Lucy and Bailey nodded. “OK then, you can stay out of your cages”, dad said. Then Bailey and Lucy got too old to run away, and they were sad. But they were very happy to be together. Also, they got two treats a day. They got really spoiled, and they loved that! But they also got really fat!! I laughed so hard! In fact, my whole family laughed. Every single night we fed Bailey and Lucy dog food. But they only ate half of their food, because they would come to us for people food! It was so funny that my family was crying of happiness. After dinner, we all watched a movie with popcorn. We gave Bailey and Lucy some popcorn, too. Then my family, Bailey, and Lucy went on a hike for 3 days. On the second day, we all exercised to get Lucy and Bailey back into shape. We exercised for 2 hours. Bailey and Lucy lost a little weight, but not much. On the third day, we packed up and left at 3:00. When we got home while we were unpacking, Bailey and Lucy liked exercising, so they were exercising in the basement. Also, Bailey and Lucy were scared of thunderstorms, so the basement felt safe to them. But, Dad had to carry them back up the stairs because their back legs did not work as good as they did when they were younger. By the way, Bailey and Lucy weighed more than 100 pounds, isn’t that crazy?!
