ADVENTURES WHILE WALKING, by Nicky

Posted on 05:31 by Unknown
It's time once more to tell you about everything that's happening in the neighborhood!  A lot of days it's too hot for me and Mom to want to go out walking, so we don't go.  But sometimes we have a few cool days, and then we get out and check to see what all the new developments are. In our last exciting installment of "Adventures," we learned from the graffiti on the back of a stop sign that "Miranda hearts Jonathon."  But guess what!...

PUGS

Posted on 05:44 by Unknown
Lots of people like to own pugs, so you have probably seen a bunch of them around.  They have cute little smooshed faces and short legs and curly tails.  Also they have a wrinkled brow that makes them look really worried.  But I think maybe what they mostly worry about is where their next treat is coming from!Other names for this breed are Chinese pug, Dutch bulldog, Dutch mastiff, and Mini mastiff.  In Germany and Holland, pugs...

FUN WITH WORDS

Posted on 05:49 by Unknown
Maybe I should have called this blog entry "Fun with the Wrong Words" because that might tell you more about it.  But anyway, Mom said I could use some samples from her collection of funny things people say and write, and I could put them in my blog today.  All of these examples are when a person uses a certain word, and they thought they were using the right word, but really it was the wrong word, even if it was a lot like the right word....

IT'S MY 500TH BLOG ENTRY!

Posted on 05:32 by Unknown
Wow!  I can't believe I have written such an incredible number of blog entries, and neither can Mom!  And with both of us working together (although I did most of the work), we have written this big, huge bunch of words and put them on the internet for people to read!  I told Mom I wanted to celebrate this important milestone with a great big chicken-flavored cake, topped with cat-poop icing and cicada sprinkles.  And do you know...

MORE JOBS THAT DOGS DO

Posted on 05:50 by Unknown
Owen, Washington D.C.I have already told you about bomb-sniffing dogs, which as you know, do really important work.  But guess what!  Now there is a very special kind of bomb-sniffing dog that is called a vapor wake dog.  And the way this dog is different is that it can detect bomb ingredients in the air, like for instance, if there is a crowd of people, and one of them is wearing explosives or is carrying a bomb in his briefcase.Also...

Posted on 05:37 by Unknown
Well, first of all, I would like to thank everybody who said they liked my "Ode to Summer" poem that I posted yesterday.  I don't want to sound too smug, but I think you will probably see this poem in literature textbooks in the future.A clowder of catsToday I am going to talk about something called collective nouns.  And what these are is names for several items that are all together in one place.  If you are like me, you probably...

ODE TO SUMMER, by Piper the Poet

In summertime, the sun shines fiercely downAnd makes me wear a little doggy frown,Because the heat is way too hot for meAnd I must stay inside, near the a/c.In summertime, it’s hard to keep your coolUnless you get into the wading poolAnd get all wet, but I would not do that!I’d end up looking like a big, drowned rat!In summertime, the days get really long,And all the birds sing silly, chirpy songs.If only I could catch one I would supOn it, and then...
