Here is a letter my daughter E wrote for one of her school projects, called the Nobody project, which is about teaching kids responsibility. E decided to be responsible for teaching people to, well… I’ll let her explain:
(Here’s E): Oh silly Daddy! You have it all wrong! My name is not E it is something else! My dad always writes the silliest things on his blog!
This is my Nobody Project for school
Walking Dogs, and What Dogs Need
By E Mahoney
I love animals a lot and I want them to get enough exercise. Dogs hate being stuck in a fenced in area. You can let your dog run around in an open space. Dogs love having free time. Make sure you’re watching your dog when he or she goes out to have some free time! Every living thing on earth needs to exercise. Give your dog as much exercise as he or she wants.
It’s not really that bad to walk a dog. You’re actually helping an animal that way. Dogs need one to two hours of exercise. Make sure you give your dogs water. Give your dog exercise but don’t overdo it. Don’t take your dogs out on very hot days. Also, make sure your dog can get at his or her food and water daily.
Make sure you don’t forget to walk your dog on rainy days! Dogs love to walk in the rain. Some pet stores sell rain jackets for dogs. Don’t force your dog to wear it, though. Some dogs don’t like to wear clothes. I used to have a dog that didn’t like to wear clothes. Dogs don’t need to wear clothes. You just have to dry your dog with a towel after you walk him or her in the rain.
Please, look after your pet.
Even if it isn’t a dog.

i always wanted to walk my chinese
chickens around my neighborhood.
i found it difficult trying to put
a leash around its little neck, which
i can obviously understand why because
they don’t like the feeling.
i tried around its ankle but never
could catch them right to tie a
string around it.
so…i never had the chance to walk
my chickens around town. but they
enjoyed playing in the mud outside
when the weather was nice.

Way to go, E!!! I loved that story and you did a super job writing it. Are you going to take over daddy’s blog site or make one of your own!! Maybe now that you know all about dogs Daddy will get you one!! Oh, yes you have 2 gerbils to look after or are they hamsters–I always get them mixed up. I am looking forward to more of your posts!!

Thanks for the comments. And I do not have a gerbil or a hamster.I have a guinea pig. I think it would be hard to get a leash on a chicken. I promise I will take over my dad’s blog and make ‘em get me a puppy. Too bad my dad wouldn’t have a blog anymore. So long, folks!

Sorry E., I can never get my little animals straight. Hopefully i will someday see that guinea pig–long as I don’t have to hold it!!
keep on writing!!
