The Labs

Entry 4
All weekend I have been with my dog. I own three labs, each with they’re own personality. My thick black female Labrador, star, beautiful and sweet, but the minute someone lays food out in font of her, she has a different personality. She becomes greedy, she tries to take the others food, or she will go fishing in the pond just to get an extra bite. Seems to me that her stomach does more of the thinking then her brain does.
My other female chocolate lab, Brooke, completely opposite, skinny as can be. She has enough energy to make sure that when she sees you she will jump five feet in the air just to plant a kiss on your lips. Please do realize that this is a dog here. Why she decided to go for the lips I will never know. I guess it’s a learned behavior from watching TV. The one thing about Brooke that is annoying is she will not do anything without her husband, her partner in crime, moon.
The dog that thinks he is the man of the house, moon; he is a pale white male Labrador. Moons brain does not seem to function like other dogs, I am begging to think he thinks he is human. You see most dogs on TV. are trained to do some interesting stuff. But that’s just it they are TRAINED. Not my dog moon, it seems that the only thing that trains him is himself. He opens the sliding door even though we locked it. Climbs up on the couch, (when he knows he is not allowed), and as soon as we get home, he acts as if he did nothing wrong. He stands up on his hind leg to steal food off the counter. He opens the front door and then my other dog Brooke’s play pen, so they can escape and roam through the neighbor hood. He hops a 5 ft gate. In order to roam, and on many occasions ended up in someone else’s yard trying to get another dog pregnant.
My dogs’ personalities are just like my families, unique, individual, and Crazy! I must say they keep me entertained as well as frustrated and in shape after all the years of chasing them down, leterially. They all have a place in my family, like a brother who is annoying, like a child who is in need of care, and like a person who makes decisions. Some people do not think dogs are capable of making a decision between right and wrong. But if you live my life, and have seen my dogs and know of the crazy stories they would tell. You would agree with me 110%.

We Are Highschoolers

Entry 3
My stomach growls as I continue to be hungry, out on another family adventure it seems. It should be a movie title. ADVENTER TO….THE STORE. Staring: the whole family. Great, just great, exactly what I want to be squashed by all these sweaty bodies in one car. I have a pretty huge family, there is no reason for all of us to go to the store, yet we do it any way. For me it’s a chance to practice driving for the younger ones it a chance of a life time. The one time they get to get out of the house! Unbelievable.
My mother, forever known as mommy, sit next to me extremely nervosa as I drive. It seems that if I make one mistake she will have my head. Makes a teenager become extra cautious. But as I pull in the parking spot, mommy says” no need for everyone to get out, I am only buying toilet paper.” Who knew that a ten minute quick stop would turn to an hour shopping spree? Almost dying from hunger and heat, as if we went to the Sahara ,in the hot, heated car, which by luck our air condition decided to give out the week before, mommy finally pulls up to the trunk of our car. A cart that was only supposed to contain a few rolls of toilet paper seems to be piled to the top with groceries. We all sit in amazement trying to figure out why she left us to suffer. But we say nothing because the main thing on our mind is food!
Finally we arrive home, groceries get unloaded. I run to take a quick bathroom break and when I come out, the brand new package of lunch meat is completely EMPTY! I look around and everyone is smacking on a ham sandwich, some even on their second one. The only quick, easy sandwich to make is peanut butter and jelly. And everyone in this house knows that is the one thing that I hate. Yet they we’re too busy eating to think. I guess the truth comes out, when you’re hungry, you got to eat, I guess that’s the only time family doesn’t come first.

Sincerely,
Yours Truly

The Life and Times of a Family

Entry 1
Families vary from different shapes to different sizes. But one thing we need to recognize is that no family is the same. They all consist on their individual joys & disappointments, accomplishments & failures, Goods & Bads. But one thing is clear is a family, even though may not have and share the same DNA, is a group people that shapes a person and their morals.
