PENNY POOCH GOES CAMPING
Hi kids, I'm Penny Pooch, and I have a story to tell you. I went camping with my people. What fun!
We had just got to the campgrounds, my people man was putting up the tent; my people lady was fixing dinner; and my little people girl, Mandy, and I were just walking around.
We were just looking at this and that, minding our own business. The sun was setting; the lake was so pretty. When out of the blue, this big duck came waddling by. He quacked at me and dared me to catch him!
Well!! I just had to do my best to catch him! I barked that I would too catch him; Mandy got scared and dropped my leash!
Kids, I really did try to behave, but that big duck just kept quacking at me!
So off I ran, and I chased that big duck. He ran, and I ran! He flew and I ran some more!
Before I knew it, we were headed for the tent, just as the big duck got to the tent, he flapped his wings, and was airborne!!
When I got to the tent, I couldn't stop! The tent was right in front of me! The big duck was quacking; Mandy was chasing me, Mandy's Daddy was yelling for me to stop!
CRASH!!! I hit the center pole. I got my leash tangled, and before I knew it, the tent fell, and covered me up!
What a racket! Everyone was yelling, the big duck quacked, and waddled off to the lake.
Mandy grabbed my leash, her Daddy pulled at the tent, but her Mommy was laughing really hard. I just lay down and sighed. Oh I had done it again, I had gotten into trouble!
Mandy�s Daddy said that we had to sit down and not move. And that's what Mandy and I did. But Mandy's Mommy was still laughing, and told us that dinner was almost ready.
For the rest of the camping trip, I had to stay in my kennel. But, gee, it really wasn't my fault that the tent fell.
