I wrote a short story about talking a puppy for walk.  I will post it later.....






here it is


Selia’s Eventful Walk by Ginny


Selia had recently been given a puppy for her birthday by her parents. He was a copper spaniel and she had called him Jasper after the gemstone of the same colour.


She had been begging for a puppy for 2 years already and had only just got him. Jasper was adorable but the only problem was that he needed lots of walks or else he would chew the house and everything in it, to pieces.


Last time Selia had taken Jasper for a walk he had even eaten a slug! He chewed absolutely everything!


This morning, Selia had been sneaky reading “How to Levitate by Phoebe Halliwell” when she heard was supposed to be getting ready.


“Let’s go for the walk already, Selia” yelled her mum up the stairs.


Selia got such a fright, she jumped up in a hurry, half jammed her new hiking boots on, thumped down the stairs, grabbed the leash and ran out the door to catch up with her mum.


Her mum was already opening the low, rusty gate when Selia realised that she had forgotten Jasper inside.


She sped back inside to get him. Selia was in such a muddle that when she put Jasper down, she accidentally stood on his front paw because she had not tied her laces up yet.


Jasper yelped and held up his front paw. He could not walk. Selia felt so bad.


“He will be ok in a minute, just carry him for a while,” said her mum after checking his paw.


Selia carried Japer down the shady lane, which was very shady. At the end of the lane Selia put Japer down and clipped on his green leash. His paw was fine again.


As they strolled along, with Jasper sniffing at everything and doing his business they heard a loud MEOWING behind them. Following them were their two cats, Amber and Onyx. The cats jumped on and off the fence as they ran towards their owners.


Selia and her mom ignored them, knowing that if they paid them attention the cats would soon learn to follow them everywhere and would get into trouble, far from home. They might even get lost.


It was such a nice, lovely day for a walk. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and it was beautiful.


As they passed a friends house, Selia heard frantic meowing coming from behind them. Knowing that her cat was in trouble, she threw Jaspers leash to her mum and galloped back towards the sound to see what was wrong. When she got there, she saw that Amber was stuck in some sort of children’s toy. Selia helped Amber to escape from the tangles.


As they were walking home past the Mad Dog’s home, the mad dog rushed toward its gate and started to growl and bark at Jasper. Jasper was terrified and cowered behind Selia’s leg, yelping and trying to get away. He almost got his head out of his collar. Selia’s just managed to pick Jasper up in time for them to race home pursued by a huge dog without either a leash or an owner.


They slammed the garden gate shut and raced inside to grab a cup of tea and calm their nerves.
