my adorable Golden Retriever mix
sprinted as fast as a cheetah

Her floppy, fluffy, fuzzy ears
blew back in the wind
while she ran

Loosing all balance,
she slid on her side
when she quickly turned the corner

Ruby May
got right back on her feet
and continued running

What a determined
puppy

suffocated at the bottom of my backpack
feeling kind-of disappointed

In search of
   lined paper
to write poems
  and a pencil sharpener
to come alive

I was so happy
when my
   wishes
  came
  true

part of the day.

Zora has
no tail.

Zora nibbles
when you
don't pay attention
to her.

Zora is the
best cat.

Even though
I have a dog
named Teco

He always
gets  slapped 
by  Zora.

She's
purfect.

But, shoes are meant to be worn.

You shine

golden retriever 
got a toy football.

I threw it to my 
brother but 
he dropped it
so my dog grabbed it.
She took it outside.

She did not chew 
it. 
I am happy that
she did not chew
it because it was
a foam ball.

I started to
think what
a great girl.

I'm still sweet

You look like a flower
that just rose from the ground.
You look like a sun shine
that came from the sky.

You're the sweetest person
I ever found.

You are my best friend.
I love you.

It looks like a
mechanical pencil
