Scruffy, My New Dog.

One day Nicole moved out of her parents house with her boyfriend, Chris.They had already bough a bungalow and they had already moved all their furniture. Now they are just leaving to live alone - Away from their parents. They really wanted to get a puppy. Chris wanted to get a small dog and Nicole wanted to get a Yorkshire Terrier. Chris said that he didn't care what kind of dog he got, as long as it was a small dog and that it was cute. Nicole went on the internet and looked up Yorkshire Terriers and then she called over her boyfriend. There was a lot of information and pictures, Chris really liked the look and the sound of the Yorkshire Terrier. Then right at that moment, he saw a add for Yorkshire Terriers for sale. His and Nicole's face lit up! But when they saw the price they both let their shoulders fall. The little puppy's were 1000 dollars!

Nicole and Chris were really sad when Michelle, Nicole's mom called. She said that if there was anything that Nicole or Chris needed she would give then 1000 dollars! Nicole said please mom, me and Chris need 1000 dollars! You could hear the excitement in Nicole's voice. She said okay honey, I'll get you 1000 dollars. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Bye. Nicole was almost yelling at Chris because she was so excited that they could get a puppy! Almost the minute that Nicole finally calmed down, the doorbell rang. It was Michelle! She was there with a very colorful bag. Michelle seemed unusually happy. Nicole asked why her mom seemed so happy. Michelle said that she was just happy because she was helping her daughter. Nicole took the money from her mother and then her mother said "Oh no! I have to go to my meeting with the sewing club. Nicole said "thanks so much mom!" Nicole's mom just smiled and walked away. Nicole shut the door and yelled "were is this puppy of ours?"

Chris was already writing down the phone number, the email and the barn of were their puppy was. He looked up and he said that there were only boys. Nicole didn't really care. She just shrugged her shoulders and came to see Chris. He looked at Nicole and they both ran to the phone. Chris asked Nicole if she wanted to dial the number and Nicole said "okay". She dialed the long number on the piece of paper (1800-123-4567) and it rang four times before a ruff voice said "hello?" Nicole looked at Chris and then she said "hello. My name is Nicole Lander-height, I was looking at your puppy add on the Internet and I was wondering if I could get one?' The ruff voice said "sure". Nicole asked were she would get it from and the voice said "don't worry about that. I will be at Wall-mart tomorrow with the puppy. He is 1000 dollars." His voice sounded very bored. "Can you be there at 10:00?" He said. I'll be there." I said. He said "bye" and he hung up. I looked at Chris terrified and he looked back wondering what I was so woried about, I said that he didn't even ask anything and that he sounded ruff. Chris wondered if we should even go tomorrow.

I said I really, really wanted to get the puppy. He said that he is coming and not letting me out of his sight. The next day, we left to go Wall-mart at 9:50. It wasn't a nice day, it was windy and there were grey thick clouds in the sky. When we got there, there was a lot of people there. We tried to find a man with a puppy. We had no luck. Maybe it was because we were early to meet him. We sat on the bench talking for awhile. I had no clue were our conversation was going. We sat in silence for awhile right before Chris got a phone call on his cell phone. He had was talking about a new dog in the conversation with whoever he was talking to. He hung up and he asked me if my phone was of. I looked in my purse and it was off. I asked Chris why and he said that it was my Michelle on the phone and she was wondering what we needed the money for. She said sorry because she didn't ask what we needed the money for. Chris called her back and he told her that we were getting a puppy. I could hear the excitement in her voice when she asked to talk to me. She asked me a lot of stuff about the new puppy we were getting.

Right then I said I had to go because I saw a man with a little puppy in his arms. I told Chris and he got up, reached for my hand and I gave him my hand. We got up and I think we ran up to the old man with a puppy. When we got up to him he said "woah. Slow down there." We apologized and then I said "hi my name is Nicole Lander-height and I was the one on the phone with you about the puppy." The old man said "oh alright." I pulled out 1000 dollars and held it out when Chris took the money and looked at me. He held out the money and said "I'll trade you." The mad gave us the puppy and took the money. Without saying a word, he walked away. We looked at each-other wit h a happy but confused look. We smiled and we started petting the dog.

Chris reminded me that the adorable puppy needs a name. When we got home we decided on Scruffy. We went t the pet store and we got some food, a leash, a cage, treats, lots of toys and we went home. We set up a cage for Scruffy got her the old food bowls from our old cat. His cage was done and we realized he didn't have a place for him to go to the bathroom! We got some newspaper for him and then Scruffy started to whine by the window. Me and Chris decided to take him on a walk. We were walking on the sidewalk when we saw a patch of mud. Scruffy went running in the mud rolling on his side and all around the mud. We heard a pig making sound and we looked at Scruffy and he was making the pig sounds! Was Scruffy a dog or a pig?

LIZZY, MY NEW DOG.

My name is Mikaela. When I was little, I always wanted to be a a dentist. But now, I am a worker at Moxie's. I am 17 and I live in Calgary, I was born in Edmonton but my dad's work got crazy so we had to move to Calgary. My mom passed away when I was just 7 so, it's just me and my dad now. My best friend is Ellie, She has long blond hair. I am living with her right now. My dad is living in the dorm his boss gave him to live in because he has to be in early and he gets back late. I learned how to drive around 8 months ago. I really want a puppy but I am still saving up for it. I have 610 dollars, but I need 1000 dollars. I want a Yorkshire Terrier, they are really little. Today, I have to go into work. I don't really like going to Moxie's, they don't pay too much. Plus, it gets kinda boring just opening the door and trying to make people think I actually like my job. The boss is pretty strict. I have to be there right when Moxie's opens and there until it closes. I have to be there at 8:00. Calgary is pretty packed, so I don't want to quit because I might not be able to get a new job - If I didn't have a job, that would be letting my Best Friend down, I am helping her pay off the loan she needed for the appartement. It's not always easy paying for every thing you need to live. But, "It's life and you gotta live with it," my dad always says.

At 7:00 my alarm clock started buzzing. sometimes I just want to smash it with a hammer but then I would have to buy another alarm clock for me and Ellie. She always leaves me to turn of the alarm clock because she is across the room from it. I pressed the Snooze button because I was so tired and Ellie didn't seem to notice that it went off. 20 minutes later, it went off again. I thought I could just say that I turned off the alarm clock to Ellie, just rush and let her be late, but I decided to tell her. She sounded pretty annoyed with the alarm clock and she just said to hit Snooze. Of course, she didn't know that I already hit it. So I just went back and I hit the annoying alarm clock's Snooze button really hard again. The sun was pretty bright so I just rolled over, and everything went black...

I woke up, without the annoying alarm clock buzzing and it felt like I just slept a whole day. I looked at the clock and it was 8:07! I pulled off the sheets and ran to Ellie's bed. I started shaking her shoulders and I said. "We have to get up! It's 8:07!" She said, "What?!" All I said was "Come on sleepy head." She got up and I walked really fast to the bathroom. Ellie ran to the kitchen. I grabbed the brush and ripped it through my hair. I washed my face with cold water because the warm water takes a while to come. I ran to the kitchen finding Ellie brushing her hair while eating a bowl of cereal. I walked by and said, "Nice." She just smiled. I just decided to have a beagle, it doesn't take much time to prepare or to eat. After Ellie was done, she went to the bathroom and after I was done, I went to go get dressed. My dressing choices are pretty slim - You have to wear black (It's a Moxie's thing). But I'm not really the black kind or girl so I usually just wear something of Ellie's.

We finally got ready and it was around 8:30. We were driving to Moxie's, and we got there really fast, only because I was over the speed limit. We pulled up in the parking lot and found a little puppy with a piece of paper atached to it. It was the kind of dog I always wanted, Yorkshire Terrier. I stopped in the middle of the parking lot and went to go look at the paper and the little dog. Ellie had a confused look on her face. There was a paper attached to it's leash and I opened it. It said,

//Ellie, Mikaela. You have been great help to Moxie's but I am afraid to say, you have both been late fiive times. We can no longer have you being late. Thanks for working at Moxie's. Sincerley, David.//

There was another note. It said,

//Mikaela, you were a really good help when I ate at Moxie's and so I got you a yorkshire terrier. Every time we ate at Moxie's, you were talking about a yorkshire terrier. So I knew you wanted one. Sincerely Joanna//

I was happy and sad. I went to go talk to Ellie. I think she was on the phone in the backseat. I told her we were fired, but she didn't seem very sad either. Then she had a really good subject changer. She asked what the dog was for. I said that David gave it to me. Apparently, she wanted a dog too because she let out a squeal. It hurt my ears and I think it hurt the dog's ears too. I knew it was a girl because it had a pink leash. We had to make a name for it. I wanted Tizzy and Ellie wanted Lucy... I thought and thought and I came up with Lizzy - It was the two names put together. Ellie really liked that too because she squealed. Again. It hurt me and Lizzy's ears. We were so happy and squealy that we forgot that we didn't have a job anymore. I told Ellie and she said, "Oh yeah... About that, I was on the phone with my brother and he said that he could use some help on the farm. I told him I would have to call him back." Now, this time, I squealed. I hoped that we would be able to work at the farm. I love animals. And Ellie does too. She is always saying; "I love little animals so much!" I told Ellie to call her brother back and tell him we wanted to help him out.

She called her brother back and he said that we could go there every day of the week if we wanted. Ellie told him we would for sure be there five times a week. It was only 9:00 and me and Ellie had no work (We had no job). So we decided to do some shopping at the Chinook Center. It was so big! There were more than 150 stores. Ellie bought two shirts, a pair of pants and a pair of shoes. Now I bought a little more... I bought two pairs of shoes, a pair of caprees, three shirts and two sweaters. I think my bank account is basically empty, but I'll just ask my dad to fill it. Again. Ellie offered me an Orange Julius because I made her let me buy her stuff. I looked at my watch and it was already 1:00. I was just ignoring my stomach in the last store. I told Ellie, and you know her. She likes to eat at 'regular times.' And 1:00 was not a 'regular time. We went to A&W and it was really good. We ate in the car because it was packed in the eating area. Ellie finished first, but I finished around five minutes later. Ellie offered to drive, so I let her. We went back to her place and Ellie turned on the t.v. And The Bugs Bunny And Tweety Show was on. I didn't really have any interest for that show so I decided to go to the bathroom. I could hear Tweety chirping a song when I was washing my hands. When I was finished, I went to go snuggle with Lizzy, I decided to ask Ellie to change the channel. She changed it to the radio channel. She asked me if we should go to the park and to the store. I said, "sure sure." We went to Pet Land and we went to the park to walk Lizzy.

We got home when it was around 7:30 from the walk. I don't know why, but Ellie wanted ice cream! We had some ice cream then we went watched more t.v. then we went to bed.
