Bill the Rat

By Kendall

There once was a rat named Bill. He didn’t act like a rat, he acted more like a dog. Bill chased cats. He thinks that it is amusing because the cats think that he is a dog. Do you know that a rat does not get mistaken as a dog everyday you know! But when the cat figures out that there’s a rat racing right behind them, the next moment the cat is cramming his head into the rat hole trying to get Bill. But some cats know what a rat looks like and they did not let Bill chase him and it was no fun for Bill.

Bill is a brown rat with white and black spots. I know that Bill sounds like a very weird rat, but he is. Bill can be a normal rat. He once took a piece of raw meat, he still thinks that it’s cooked. Bill has five sisters and five brothers. His sisters’ names are sister1, sister2, sister3, sister4, and sister5. I know that those are very strange names but it’s a very strange rat. You most likely know what his brothers names are. Well, if you don’t here they are…brother1, brother2, brother 3, brother4 and brother 5.

Bills parents names are Maya and Tom. Maya and Tom are both different colors. Tom is a shade of brown with a white belly. Maya is an all white rat a white head; belly, paws and even her feet are white. Bill’s best friend’s name is Ben.  At school you will never hear just Bill or just Ben, you will always hear “Bill and Ben.”

Bill and his dad, Tom, always do things together. Like go to movies, go to the park, on jogs, and even go to the store together. And everywhere Bill and Tom go you will see Kayla the mouse. Kayla the mouse is more like a rat than a mouse. Kayla is a black mouse who has a very great mousenality (that’s a mouse’s personality, but a mouse isn’t a person so it can’t have a personality). Bill doesn’t have a very great mousenality recently because his grandpa not to long ago passed away in the past few months and he has been very sad lately.

Maya is a kind of rat that likes to eat cheese. Most rats don’t eat cheese, that’s what mice eat. Maya likes to eat cheese because she works in a cheese factory. Tom works at a cracker factory so every week they have cheese and crackers.

In the rat world rats under sixteen can work legally but there are jobs in the human world. You can’t be under sixteen years old because it is very dangerous in the human world.

One day Bill was walking to school and his mom Maya was running towards him  calling ”Bill, Bill!!!”

Bill stopped and waited his mother.

“Bill!” she said. “Come back home. We have to get ready for your grandfathers funeral” “Its today?” I asked, “Yes it is Bill, and it we will be only us two because your father has to work and all your brothers and sisters have to do important school work.” “What if I don’t want to come?” “I don’t even believe he’s dead!” “But we’re the most attached to him, he was your favorite grandpa,” she said desperately. “Oh fine. I will come.” “Thank you,” she said. “How come I can’t go to school?” “You have to get a suit,” she said. “I hate funerals, they are so boring.” “Shhhhhhhhhhhh,” an old lady said that was behind me. “Why do I have to where a suit? They make my fur itch, I hope I don’t have to look at him in the casket. That would be very disgusting.” “No I don’t think you have to,” she said. “I hope not,” I said quickly. “Oh, great I have to go put flowers on the casket. Oh no I have to be the first one! I walked up to the casket and I looked in to the flowers and there was a note I slipped it in to my pocket. After the funeral I went to where no one could see me and I took it out to read and it was gone!

I looked and I could not find it. The first thing that popped in my head was I had dropped it and that I would never be able to read it, but then I saw the note someone was picking it up from the ground. “Wait, that’s mine. May I please have it?” “NO, I found it, finders keepers, losers weepers!” said a very small raccoon. 

My Weekend

By Sherman

For my weekend I went to see my cousin. When we got there me, my mom, my dad and my sisters all cheered because we were racing my other cousins there. When they got to the house we got two TVs and XBoxes and we hooked them together and we played Halo three on three.

 And after that we went to Bruce Almighty. In one scene he had seven fingers up behind his back because he wanted to see if he was really God so he put down two fingers. So he had five fingers up and God said seven and he stuck out his hand and he had seven fingers on one hand.

After the movie we went back to my cousins. My other cousins went home and me my sisters and my cousin played XBox the next day we went home and when we got home I played THE MATRIX for Game Cube and that’s my weekend.

Why do we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday?

By Madison

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.  This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.  It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.”

This is how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. began his “I Have A Dream” speech.  We celebrate his birthday because as recently as when my mom was three years old, black people had their own drinking fountains, bathrooms, schools, and even neighborhoods!  He helped to put a stop to all of that.

He did it by trying to change the racism in the world peacefully, without violence.  The kind of things he did were, lunch counter sit-ins, which was when he led others into a segregated restaurant, snack bar, or anywhere that served only white people. They would sit down, and not move until they got served a drink or meal like a normal human being.  He was arrested over 30 times for protests like these.

He also led the Freedom Rides.  The freedom rides were when he and his followers rode buses around the South with peaceful protests, and inspiring speeches to stop segregation. He also participated and led several bus boycotts.

This is why we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday.  Without him, and other people like him segregation could still be happening today.  Just like in his final words in the “I Have A Dream” speech, we now can say:

 “Free at last, free at last, Thank God Almighty I’m free at last.”

Scooter,

the Miracle Hamster

By Madison “Scooter”

"Teddy Bear Hamster" © Renee' Stockdale

One Sunday my mom came upstairs to wake me up and decided to pay a visit to the hamster. She looked in his cage to say hello and yelled, “Oh no! Maddie!” I ran in and discovered that Scooter, my hamster, was gone!

I remembered that the last time we saw him was Thursday and that was the day we cleaned his cage. He could’ve been missing since then!

He stayed missing for five days after that.

On Friday when I was going to bed, mom spotted something moving on the carpet. “Oh my gosh! There he is!” She ran down the hallway and picked up the hamster.

His eyes were tightly shut, he was very dirty, and my dad thought he was blind.

On Saturday, we gave him some fresh vegetables to make him feel better. We gave him carrots and lettuce. He was very happy to be home.

The next day I went upstairs to see how Scooter was doing and I saw that he had opened one of his eyes! It was like a miracle!

And that is how he got the nickname of the Miracle Hamster.

Summer

By Kelen

This summer I am going to go to Boise, Idaho. I have been there a lot of other times I can’t wait till I go.

I have twenty-three cousins in Boise. I love to play with my cousins. One of my cousins’ house is really cool and that’s where we are going to stay. They have a swimming pool and a dirt bike. I like to ride their dirt bike.

I can’t wait until I go to Idaho !!!

Golfing

By Kelen

During the weekend I went golfing with my two brothers and dad.

We didn’t keep score but I think I did pretty well. There were some really long shots and some not very long.

My dad always watches golf on T.V. and it is so boring to watch I just like to play golf.

Golfing isn’t my favorite sport. My favorite sports are soccer, football, and basketball, and then golf.  

 

 

Poulsbo’s Donuts

By Mitchell

Hi, my name is Mitchell. Over the weekend I went to Poulsbo with my yacht club. Poulsbo’s donuts are 10 times better than Krispy Kreme.  The donuts are bigger and taste better than Krispy Kreme.  My first favorite are the ones with chocolate everything.  My second favorite are the huge donuts.

We also had a scavenger hunt about the history of POULSBO.  There are lots of very old buildings.  One more thing. Poulsbo was discovered by Norwegians.  Poulsbo has a great bakery for cookies, cakes, gingerbread men, and donuts.

 

SHRIMP

By Mitchell

This week I went to Pleasant Harbor.  It took us two hours. We caught 300 prawns.

 I shall now tell you how to catch the prawn.  First you get the cat food and put it in the trap.  Next you wait about 30-60 minutes. Then you pull it up.  Then put them in a bucket. Last you take their heads off and throw them in another bucket.

Pleasant Harbor is a really nice place. They have a pool there. I really liked it.  They also have very good pizza.  There is a pizza called the Pleasant Harbor International Combo.  It has pepperoni, peppers, sausage, and cheese.

(P.S. I wonder what the shrimp call Pleasant Harbor.) 

The Stone

By Adrian

Prologue

A long, long time ago there was a great king. His name was Morgal. He was the most evil villain in the world.

 He summoned up a great beast. It was all but invisible! He was a great troll-like thing. His name was the Nrgg. He also summoned up a great goblin & ork army with fell beasts. He was almost unstoppable.               

 As if that was not enough he also made a stone. It made the holder invincible. Then he waged war on the people of the inner realm. There was a great battle. All the orks and beasts were killed or ran away.

All but the Nrgg and Morgal. Morgal got back to the tower and started breeding a new army. As for the Nrgg he found a burrow in Angorn Forest.

Chapter 1  Angorn forest

One sunny day in Angorn forest, Borgo and Asgaroth were having a nice stroll in the wood of Angorn forest. Talking about themselves, “I wonder how I am able to turn into an eagle,” said Asgaroth. “That’s a good Question” said Brogo. “Can all of our people turn into eagles?” “No, just me,” said Asgaroth. There’s our palin.

By the way a palin is several planks lade across some tree branches. With one wall that you can pull to the direction the wind is coming. “Come. I shall fly you up,” and in a puff of smoke he was gone. In his place was an eagle. “WWOOWW!!!!!!!!!!! You know I am still not used to that,” Brogo responded. Then he climbed up on the back of the eagle.

 Chapter 2 Captured

They soared up to the palin that night. Brogo dreamed about a net coming down and catching them both then the orks would carry them off to their underground lair.

When Brogo woke up there were ork voices all around. They were all dancing around the fire like crazy lunatics. Then two of them came out and seized them gruffly and brought them away.

When they had turned the corner Asgroth slipped their knives, put off the sheathes and stabbed them in the backs. The guards fell down died.

OINK OINK OINK

MOO MOO MOO

DEMENTED

KAMIKAZE

By Adrian

One day Barfamule, a.k.a. Barf, liked to call himself OINK OINK OINK MOO MOO MOO. He liked eating demented bread and barfing it back up again, hence the name. Then repeating the process while playing a game that he invented called kamikaze on Ace Combat 4 and Worms Armageddon in a flight simulator. One time when he got out it was still upside down. WHOOPS. 

When he went to school he acted like was a demented lunatic. He liked to be very annoying. Barf sung the pledge of allegiance like this. “I pledge allegiance to the paper of the United States of paper and to the republic of which it stands one nation under paper inadvisable accept for scissors and justice and paper for all.” I still do not no why.

 One day Barf bought a stuffed animal of a parrot.  When he got home he tried to teach it to talk but it didn’t even move. When he put it on its perch it fell right off. He walked back to the store and said “I wish to register a complaint.” This parrot has snuffed.  It kicked the bucket. It’s flown the coop, come unglued and fought with peril and lost. Then the storekeeper said, “It’s a stuffed animal.” But barf didn’t know what a stuffed animal was so he kept on registering complaints. Finally he sold it back and went home.

After a while the people in the town got so fed up with Barf they put Barf on an airplane and sent him of to China. On the flight he annoyed the people so much by singing stuff like: “It’s a song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends,” and repeating it and also “I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves everybody’s nerves everybody’s nerves and this is how it goes… I know a song that gets on everybody’s nerves everybody’s nerves everybody’s nerves,” and other songs like that. Then everybody got their parachutes and jumped out. Barf thought something went wrong and he couldn’t find the parachute. “Oh well,” he thought, as he jumped out of the window. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee SPLAT!!!!!!!!

Demented

A Demented Novel by Riley

Dedicated to Mr. Coulters’ 4th grade class.

Once there was a man named Larry. Sadly, he was demented. Often you could find him at about noon in the middle of a busy four-way intersection with rubber gloves on his feet, shoes on his hands, and underwear on his head. His mom tried taking him to the doctor, but Larry just drove him mad. His dad tried taking him to the veterinarian (don’t ask me why) and Larry just made him insane too. His brother and sister took him to the insane asylum. They thought they had solved the problem, but a week later the insane asylum burst into flames.

That night aliens came and abducted Larry. They took him to their planet, and then it blew up. The people of earth thought they got rid of him, but he floated down safely.

“Call in the Army!” one said. “Call in the Navy!” another said. “Call in the acupuncturist!” yelled Larry, clueless of the events.

Then they called in the Navy and the Navy came unglued. Then they called in the Army and the army blew a fuse. Then Larry ran to the costume shop, bought a clown suit and climbed up a barbed wire fence using only his teeth, and got thrown right back out the window of Quack, Quack, Quack, Acupuncture by a crazy man in a monkey suit.

Everyone by this time was furious with Larry. “Let’s send him to Mars!” his dad said. “Let’s send him to the moon!” his mom said. “Let’s feed him to a leprechaun!” yelled Larry dementedly.

Then they sent him to the circus.

How Many Titles One Paper Can Have

How should I know that!? And one more thing, I’ve run out of paper!

QUACK QUACK QUACK ACUPUNCTURE

By Isaac

My name is Bob. I am tall, brown-haired and not so bright. I also have a headache. I’ve done everything I could think of to get rid of this headache {mind you that the only thing I could think of was to dip my head in clam chowder}. But my mom gave me a great idea. She said that I should get ACUPUNCTURE.

{Next day in the acupuncture office}

“So, so, so, so, so,” The doctor said, “you are sure you want acupuncture…. OF COURSE YOU DO. Now I will leave you,” he said as he left the room.

{scene change }

“Well, once I’ve sent it in you can go in,” the doctor said in his office. “QUACK” said a voice.

{scene change}

When a large ugly man comes in he sees me poking a bug zapper. “Bzdhztd!”. it says. “Who are you?” I ask him. He has over a thousand wrinkles in his face, a goatee, and the face of a monkey. “I will be your nurse,” he says in a high-pitched voice. “But you are a man,” I say. “No, I am a beautiful woman, and this is my husband. He is an unpredictable man in a gorilla suit.” He says, “I also have two kids.” “But my pride and joy is my dog and my hippo.” Now unfortunately the man in a gorilla suit threw me out a window.

My Backpack Sprouts Wings

By Cory

One day I was getting ready for school. I put on my backpack and got on the bus. Suddenly my backpack sprouted wings. They were huge wings. Then the backpack started to fly everywhere. I hit the roof of the bus and I went flying out. Then my backpack started to fly around the world. I said, “Stop wings! I don’t want to go to China.” But the wings went.

Soon I learned how to control the wings. You grab the wings and steer the wings. Then I went back to my house and played some Game Cube and then I went to Camano Island and saw my grandma and grandpa. Then I went to Montana to see my cousins and great grandpa.

So I went to school and I wasn’t late. I think that the wings are magic.

The U.W.

Field Trip
By Cory

We went to the U.W. for a field trip.

My favorite place was the Botany Greenhouse because I love plants. We were really lucky to go in the greenhouse because usually you have to schedule a day to go in the Greenhouse.

The plant that Doug showed us is fantastic and the plant is the Victoria Lily. It has spikes at the bottom of it. They are razor-sharp. If you touch it you will bleed a lot. Then Doug showed us an obese corpse tuber. Doug said, “that when it blooms it stinks like a dead animal.”. I would probably upchuck. It was a blast!

My second favorite place was Red Square. We got to play Frisbee for at least 30 minutes. I played with my dad and Mr. Coulter most of the time.

In Red Square there is a web cam and every minute it takes a picture. We were going to make a circle but instead we made an L for Lakeview. Two people got the picture and e-mailed it to Mr. Coulter. We hadn’t finished the L but we were close to finishing it. It was stupendous too.

 

Boston

By Cory

 On Friday I went to Boston. It was a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, when I got there, we got in a cab and went to our hotel. We checked in and went to our room. It was really nice. My dad went to get some maps while I played my Game Boy.

The game I had was called Golden Sun. My dad got it for me so I could play it on the plane trip. I got really far.

So we went to a Red Sox game. We took a subway and it was really old so it squeaked a lot. We went early so that we can get tickets and watch them practice.

At the end of practice, Troy Glaus threw me the ball. I didn’t catch it but I went over the wall and got it. I went up to my dad and he said, “Cool Cory! You got the ball”.

Then we went to get a piece of pizza and we saw an old Boston Red Sox player. I got his autograph and a picture.

Then we went back to our seats. About five balls were hit really close to us. Then we went back to our hotel and went to bed.

Then we went on a walk on the Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is a trail that shows you old buildings because Boston is one of the first cities founded.

There is the old city hall, the old state house and many other old buildings.

Then I went and watched street performers. There was a person that had a 12-foot pole. It had four pieces of string and he picked four people to hold them (strong people). Then he picked two more strong people to cross their arms so that he could jump on their arms. Then the people with their arms crossed walked over to the pole, the person jumped to the top where to stand on, and these U things were he puts his legs. Then he picked some one to hand him a double-sided sword, 3 knives and a little thing. First, he put the little thing in his mouth (the part that goes in his mouth). Then he put the double-sided sword on the top of the thing. Then he got the three knives. Next he took the double-sided sword and juggled the three knifes.

Next, we went to the aquarium. We saw cool fish. They were different colors. There were many other cool fish. There were salmon, eels, and etcetera. My favorite was the giant turtle. It’s 67 years old. 67 is middle age for a turtle because they can get to live to about 200 years old. Then there were penguins. They were cool. There were three different types. My favorites were the ones with the yellow hair on their heads. My second favorite were the ones that look like baby penguins. Then we went to bed.

Next we went on a trolley. It was fun and I got to relax. Then we got off and went to the U.S. Constitution. It is a boat that fought in a war. It was really cool. There were cannons and cannon balls. Then we got back on the trolley and just laid back and relaxed. There were a lot of cool sites too but we couldn’t get off because we would miss our plane. We were thinking that we were going to miss the plane but we were just in time to get our stuff and get to the airport.

We got on the plane and we got 1st class. We got really good food and our seats were really comfy. After a while we got to watch a movie. I watched the Master of Disguise. It was really cool. I liked the part were Pistachio turns into a turtle and bites off the one guy’s nose. Then I watched the Wild Thornberrys movie. It was cool. It finished just in time. Then we landed.

It was one of the best trips ever!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Our Team’s Last Baseball Game

By Harry

I have a game this Saturday. I am all excited because it would be our team’s last game and after that it’s tournament!

My coach said I might be starting pitcher on that game so I am so excited. We are playing a team called “Red Sox”. We have played them once but I don’t know this time because they can really hit. And they have really good outfielding so I hope our team gets lucky.

Ultimate

By Harry

This Tuesday we were playing ultimate. We were playing a team call “Popeye”. We were losing. After about twenty-five minutes the score was tied 5 to 5 and at the last minute I threw the Frisbee to the end zone but Ryan, who is our opponent, blocked it but Kelen (our team) got it in the end zone! So the score was 6 to 5 but when I threw the Frisbee to end zone Sherman (opponent) called travel on me so we decided to do sudden death at last recess and we won 6 to5.  

 

Why I Like My Top 5 Major League Pitchers

By Harry

1.Randy Johnson

2.Curt Schilling

3.Chan-Ho Park

4.Jamie Moyer

5. Mariano Rivera

 

Randy Johnson

Why I like Randy Johnson is because he used to play for the Seattle Mariners and now he is greatest pitcher ever! He throws a one hundred mile per hour fast ball, ninety-four mile per hour slider, ninety mile per hour sinker and about eighty-three miles per hour change up. He is almost invincible. He plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Curt Schilling

Why I like Curt Schilling is because he is also a great pitcher along with Randy Johnson and he throws a ninety-eight mile per hour fast ball, about eighty mile per hour split finger and about eighty-nine mile per hour slider and about eighty miles per hour change up and he plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Chan-Ho-Park

 Why I like Chan-Ho Park is because he is from South Korea (which is where I was born) and I used to watch his game in Korea when I was at Korea. He is also ace of Texas Rangers pitchers. He throws ninety-five miles per hour fast ball and throws about seventy-miles per hour change up and about 87 miles per hour curve and slider.

Jamie Moyer

Why I like Jamie Moyer is because he throws so slow. Jamie Moyer throws about eighty-six miles per hour fastball, about seventy-five miles per hour curve and slider and about sixty miles per hour change up and not just change up, his own style, circle change up and he plays for the Seattle Mariners.

Mariano Rivera

Why I like Mariano Rivera is because he is the best closer. He also throws ninety-eight miles per hour fastball, ninety-three mph cutter, eighty-nine miles per hour sinker and eighty-seven miles per hour slider.

My Left Shoulder 1

By Harry

Chapter 1

My left shoulder was hurting since last Saturday after my baseball game, May 17th. I am worried if I can’t pitch anymore or even play baseball! I got so frustrated that I want nobody to talk me or touch me. It hurts every time when I move a bit. I hope my shoulder would get better and I hope my coach still lets me pitch. I don’t think I would pitch more but I don’t think I will. Well……. If my coach says I still will maybe I should keep pitching. Maybe I should play first baseman. If my arm hurts forever maybe I can’t be Major League baseball player.

Chapter 2  My left shoulder 2

My shoulder got better than yesterday. I think I could pitch today. I have game today, May 20th at 5:45 P.M. My shoulder still hurts when I move. (I am taking a risk-writing workshop) It’s getting worst now May 20th 3:05P.M. I hope I wouldn’t get injury in middle of the game. Maybe I should tell my parents that my shoulder is hurting. Maybe I should also tell my coach that I can’t pitch anymore because my left shoulder is hurting. I am still worried that I can’t play baseball anymore. 

Chapter 3  My left shoulder 3           

My left shoulder is perfectly fine now. I pitched yesterday’s game. I pitched for three innings. My left shoulder was perfectl until the 5th inning when I was playing shortstop I made the throw to home plate to stop the runner going from 3rd to home. Then it just started hurting again but I am fine now. Our team tied 9 to 9 so the umpire said we are going to continue the game in the 7th inning. Now I think I can play baseball forever and now I think I could be a Major League baseball player.    

The Haunted Chamber

By Justin

Once upon a time there was a boy who was out helping his mom with chores. When he finished cleaning the pigpen, Nathan, the young boy made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He took it to his room in the basement. He also brought a glass of lemonade. He ate the sandwich and drank the glass of lemonade. When he finished he saw a weird light. He followed it to a secret passage. He went down some stairs and into a room and by the looks of it no one had been there for years. Then suddenly a weird creature appeared and leads him to a huge dusty, rotting, old library. He felt the floor break under him. Nathan saw thousands of tunnels. He tried to get back up but the dirt under his foot slipped and he fell. He was lying on the ground when he heard a growl. It was a giant worm with razor sharp teeth. He ran without any idea of where he was going. Then he jumped and grabbed the root of a tree on the roof of the tunnel. The giant worm went tunneling under him. He let go of the root. He fell onto the tail of the worm. The worm flicked him up through the hole he had fallen down. He landed on something soft. It was a feather bed. Then he got off it and he fell on a spell book! Then a deck of cards fell out of it but these cards had creatures on them. He looked in the spell book. He found out he could summon the creatures. He took a good look at the cards. He tried to summon one. It didn’t work. He found out he has to read the name of the card he wanted to summon. He tried again. It worked! A giant snake came out. It said, “What are your orders?” Nathan said, “Can you lift that feather bed?” “Yesss master.” The snake slithered over to the bed and curled around it. Then he lifted it with ease. Nathan said the name of the snake and the snake evaporated. Then suddenly the giant worm came plowing through the floor right under Nathan! He jumped off right away. He summoned a shadowflame. The shadowflame tackled the worm and pulled its flame sword out but Nathan told it to stop. He saw another kid on top of the worm! He found out that the kid’s name was Smith. He had some different cards. They became friendsJ. Smith led Nathan back home. And they lived happily ever afterJ.

 

Baseball

By Drew

This is my 5th year playing baseball and I think this is my best team yet. I think so because in hitting we have a good mix of power and average hitters and in fielding everybody is great at throwing and catching. We have six great pitchers. They are Ryan A., Michael D., J.J., Taylor, Alex and Phil. I usually play 2nd base or shortstop and usually bat 3rd, 5th, or 6th.

We played our last game today and we lost 11-13. Today during the game I got hit in the hip by a ball. I also got a base hit over the 2nd baseman’s head by about 5 feet. I got walked once and struck out once.

There are four kids from Lakeview on my team. They are Mitch, Ryan A., Michael D. and me.     

Rogue

By Melissa

Chapter 1

I have a cat. He is one year old. He is a shorthair. The color of his body is gray with a white belly. He is an outside cat. His name is Rogue.

We got him in Lincoln City, Oregon. He was $35.00 alone but with the food, litter, litter box, dish, collar, blanket, vet and carrier that was almost three or four hundred dollars. That’s a lot of money. We got him when he was eight weeks old. My mom was pregnant then.

He has been lost a couple of times but we found him. He likes to stay at other people’s houses (your neighbor’s house). One time when he ran away he was gone for three or four days and we were going to put up missing signs but he came back the next day so we didn’t.

I love him a lot but not when he bites me. He tears up the rug and the furniture. There are holes all over the place. One time we were gone and he jumped up on a window sill and there was a glass vase on there with sand and shells with dried flowers and it was right above the sink and he broke it and it shattered all over the sink and went down the sink. But he is lucky we didn’t get him in trouble and kick him out of the house.

Chapter 2 School, cars and vet

 My cat follows me to school a lot. One time he followed me past the fire station. He has almost been hit by so many cars. We took him to the vet and gave him three shots on his neck. Rogue is a very lucky boy. That’s why I love him a lot. He lets Jessica my baby sister play with him but if she gets too rough he will bite her.  Then he runs away for a long time.   Jessica can crawl so fast to get Rogue.

That’s all with Rogue
