Free Spirits, Part Seven

As they started working on their own section, Jessie was staring at her and Harmony’s piece. She was more interested in doing the middle section. Sherrill and Kerri were assigned to the middle section. Come to find out, Kerri wanted to work on the first piece. Brenda and Jessica were satisfied with their area of the artwork. As they worked on their piece, they tried to convince the girls to work on their assigned area. As Mr. Perkins walked by, he noticed the girls getting loud in the front hall. He stopped to check the reason of the volume level. They told him what they wanted to do and discussed their options. Mr. Perkins suggests they switch partners, but they discuss why they don’t want to switch. After a long, tiring talk, they decide to change sections and stay with their original partners.

A New Dog

For a long time, I've been wanting a dog. I've been wanting one for many reasons. I remember having dogs my whole life. As a kid, we had Corky and Shylock. Corky passed away when I was around four years old or so. A couple months went by and we had gotten a new puppy. My mom and dad bought a pitbull and we named him Nibbs. His registered named was Amber's Light Jake. He was a cool dog, and we grew up with him for at least 15-20 years. When we were in our teens, Shylock died and we bought a puppy for companionship for Nibbs. He tolerated her for a while and then started attacking her. Unfortunately, he attacked her a few times and the last time, he got her good. He bit into her cheek and she needed stitches. My mom and dad decided to have him put down before he ended up biting someone. I loved him a lot, so it was hard not to have him around anymore. Today, my mom and dad have Cinder, who we've had for about 17 years. Along with Cinder, they also have my sister's dog, Brownie. My sister moved across the country and Brownie refused to get in the car, so he stayed.

Since I've been on my own, I wanted a dog. Yesterday, I made a comment on a friend's picture. Long story short, my close guy friend and I have a little, light tan chihuahua. He is so cute, quiet, and calm. He gets along great with my friend's dog, Louie.
