My
Dogs
By Haley
During
Animal Week, I brought in my two dogs to show my friends in my class. My dogs’
names are Molly and Gypsy. My class looked at them outside in the yard. I told
them about my dogs. Molly is a Yorkshire Terrier and Gypsy is a Shihztu.
I
told my friends how I take care of my dogs. I have to brush them and give them
water and food. I can only wash them twice a month because all the oil will dry
out of their hair and they will get all stringy. I also have to keep Gypsy`s
hair up because if it’s down it would go in her eyes and might blind her.
Molly
is five months old. She is very giddy because she is sill a pup. Gypsy is a year
old and she loves digging out the front. Molly and Gypsy are very friendly
dogs.They would not bite you. When we got them they would not walk on the
lead.But they go to fast now. I taught them how to sit by putting a dog treat
over their head. If they don’t sit, I put the dog treat back more over their
heads and they will sit. Sometimes if you say give me a kiss they will lick your
face. Their favourite food is steak or bakers. They only drink water. But once I
tried them with milk but they would not drink it. Gypsy and Molly sleep on the
bed. They like to eat ice-cream but that’s bad for them. It would make their
teeth bad. On Sunday they wear black bows in their hair. When Mammy washes them
they go mad. They run around the house barking. They have lots of toys. If you
give them a teddy bear they would rip it asunder. I really like my dogs.
I
felt excited when I was showing my dogs to my class. My friends were very
interested in what I told them.
