Avery: Blog Of The Day

My Favorite Day

By Avery

      One day I woke up and the sun was shining, the grass was green and it was my birthday. I was super excited, until I heard that I can't have my birthday party. I ran outside and sat on my bench under the porch. Suddenly a stray puppy came up to me and started barking. 

     "Ruff ruff, bark woof!" 

     " Hi little guy, how are you? You look just like my old dog Lola, but you're a puppy. Are you lonely? If you are I can play with you today. Well I have to ask my mom first. Stay right here."

     I ran back inside and looked for mom. I couldn't find her so I just went to my dad. He was sitting on his favorite chair in the living room. It had a leather seat, wooden arm rests and a comfy ottoman.

     " Dad, can I play with Lola Little?"

     " Who is Lola Little?"

     " A stray puppy that came to me. She looks like our old dog Lola, but she is smaller."

     " You can keep her if you like. We only have a two pet snakes."

     Again, I ran outside and slammed the door shut. I picked up Lola Little and set her down in my lap. She only weighed about seven pounds and looked like she was a week and a half old. I went inside with Lola Little and took her to my mom.

     " Mom can you take me and Lola Little to the store so that we can buy stuff for her? All we need is a doggy bed, a bowl, a cage, a collar, a leash and some chew toys.", I said to my mom in an excited voice.

     " Yes, but you have to make sure that she behaves at the store. Get on a jacket and shoes, get Lola Little in the car and then we can go"

     I walked to my shoes and in the hallway I found a card on the floor. I picked it up and opened it. It said "Happy birthday Avery! Here is one hundred dollars. You can spend them on whatever you want. From Nana." One hundred dollars. Maybe I can buy tickets to the Taylor Swift concert. I hope mom says it is okay to go tonight. Can't wait! I thought about the concert while I ran to the car. The car was an RV! Lola Little and I hopped into the front seat and waited for Mom. Mom got in the car and passed me a box that had a label on it. The label on it said To Avery From The kids. I opened the box and looked inside. I found a little box of chocolates from Kiki, ten littlest pet shops from Marney, two dollars from Gabe, a portrait of me from Connor and Mason.

     " Oh my gosh. Where did they get all this stuff? They are so nice.", I said to Lola Little.

     I took a bite of one of the chocolates and got out of the car. We walked into the store.

     " Look Avery they are selling puppies outside the building. Here is twenty dollars. You can go buy a little friend for Lola Little." said Mom in a funny voice.

     I took the money and ran to the puppies.

     " I'll take that Golden Retriever, please.", I said as I picked the puppy up.

     I set the puppy down next to Lola Little and gave the money to the man that was selling the puppies.

     " I am going to call you Jacob."

     I took Lola Little and Jacob into the store. Right when we got inside I saw two collars that said Jacob and Lola Little. I put them in the shopping cart and looked around. After a little while we got out of the store.
     " Mom, can I buy three tickets to the Taylor Swift concert? The one that is going on tonight."
     " Yes, but why do you need three?"
     " I meant to say four tickets. For you, me, Lola Little and Jacob."
     " Are pets allowed at the concert? I am fine with it if they are allowedd. I don't really care if they go or not."
     " Pets are allowed. I read it in the newspaper."
     " You read the newspaper?"
     " Yeah. I was reading the funnies and saw an advertisement for the tickets."
     " I don't think that the funnies count for reading the newspaper."
     " Of course they do."
     After our conversation we got out of the car and mom grabbed my hand. I tried to push her hand off, but she was gripping my hand way too hard so that I couldn't. I looked at the building that we were walking to and the sign said Nails and Spa. We walked in and went to the counter that is in the back of the lobby.
     " Mom why are we at the spa?", I asked
     " Because the spa has a McDonald's in it. Now let me talk to the counter lady."
     " Hi how may I help you?", asked the counter lady.
     " We would like to know were the McDonald's is and if it has a bathroom at it."
     " Well... Just go up the elevator to floor two, then go down the hall and take a left. And yes, it does have a bathroom."
     " Thank you."
     " You are welcome."
     We went to the elevator, got in, and went to floor two. When we got to the hall we saw tons of paintings of birds and dogs. Soon we were at McDonald's. We ate food and then left. We picked up the puppies and got in the car. Soon we were at the concert and had a great time.
