Today you are your pet. If you don't have a pet, pretend that you do. What is your household like from your pet's point of view? What does your pet think about the people in your house? the activities? the food? the schedule? Write a story where you are your pet and you're thinking about these things.

Today, I am a goldfish. The household is mostly a mass of blurry shapes. Twice per day, a very strange, giant fin will descend into my bowl and drop little food flakes in, which I swim to the top and eat. I really wish they'd mix it up a little bit. Those flakes can get old. Sometimes I hear some music or laughter through the water. I assume that I live with nice people becuase they stick to the feeding schedule and clean my bowl regularly, but I still prefer that they leave me alone to float through my castle and sunken ship replicas. They just sit by the bowl and tap stupidly on the glass whenever they pay attention to me. It's rather annoying.
ReplyDeleteI am a dog today. The household I live in has comfortable furniture I sleep on. I can only sleep in the sun room when moms there though because I don't think she likes me. I get fed in the morning and at night, but i wish there was a snack time. I get soooo hungry! My owners play with me and pet me a lot, but they also leave me home alone when they leave town. I hear people talking, food being made, and laughter a lot coming from inside. I wish they would let me inside to eat table scraps, but I don't think they like when I beg. My owners treat me well! I really like it when they rub my ears and scratch my tummy. Oh P.S. There was this one time when they sent me to a trainer and man did I hate that! He would tug on my neck with the leash and blow funny whistles at me. I just wanted to play with the little kids that were there.
ReplyDeleteToday I am my puppy Maggie. I lay around all day. My favorite place is in the big chair with papa Paul. He loves me the most and gives me the most attention. The house is always well kept for me, but Judy likes to yell a lot and it gives me a headache. This is when I bark a lot so I can go outside and not listen to her anymore. It's pretty laid back in the house. Papa is always chilling in the chair in the living room, Judy is always in the bedroom on the computer, and Alicia is never home. I typically eat the cat food all the time when no one is looking because it tastes so much better then that icky dog food that they think I like. Judy likes to feed me a lot of the table scraps so I'm trying a little harder to watch my figure. I pretty much sleep and eat all day and sometimes run around outside, but it is really boring by myself so I normally bark a lot to get someone's attention. When I'm really bored I like to go over and bug big kitty. He gets angry really fast and likes to bat his paws at me. Overall, I love my home!
ReplyDeleteThey call me Kira, but Lea calls me a million different things that I don't recognize. I live with my best friend Ella in the biggest, cleanest dog house in the world with my people. My favorite person is "Dad", because he seems to be the head of the household. Plus he always takes me for a walk, but I know that my master is Lea. She gives me a lot of treats and hugs me a lot. I miss her and the rest of my family when they leave every morning. I usually take a long nap next to Ella until Lea comes home and lets us out. It is my favorite part of the day and I get so excited that I run three laps around the yard.
ReplyDeleteToday I am Lexi. I am a dog. I love mornings but not when mom forgets to let me out of my kennel. Breakfast is fun because my family lets me eat off of their plates after theyre done sometimes. My favorite is eggs. I do not like grapes. Then my family leaves for the day and I wander around the house but mostly take naps. I like to bark at noises outside, maybe they will come visit me. I can not wait for my family to come home then I have lots of people to snuggle and lick.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Squirt. I am a grey-ish brown cat, and my owner's name is Brittany. I love to sleep! My family lets me sleep where ever I want to and do not disturb me until I wake up. I love my family very much because they love and care for me. My family feeds me people food sometimes but only when it is not something they do not eat. I like that my family lets me sleep all the time, and when I am done sleeping they put me outside to run, play, and chase mice and birds. My family is the greatest, I would not ask for anything else.
ReplyDeleteI am all black cat named Pez. I open my eyes, blink away the sun, and do a massive cat stretch. I catch something in the corner of my eye, leap to my feet, and chase after that dust bunny bouncing around the floor. I find myself in the room where the family watches t.v. together. A bright colorful parrot is in the corner. I hop on the window’s ledge and watch the parrot stretch his wings. He notices me and lets out a loud yelp. No one is home to stop me so I take a step closer. The big beaked bird snaps at me so I take my business elsewhere. Near the door there is a bucket of dog food. Yum, I take a couple bites and head towards my owner’s room. There is more food there, cat food. Yum, I fill my stomach up this time. I am rather thirsty so I go into the room with the giant water bowl. I prefer to stay away from it but there is a leaky faucet I can attend to instead. I take big licks of water that slowly drips from the spout. I go back to the window’s ledge and lay out in the sun till I hear a door noisily open. My owner is standing in the hallway. I run to him and rub my butt and tail all over his new jeans. He picks me up and gives me a kiss so I nudge his chin. Ahhh, the life of a house cat is lazy and perfect!
ReplyDeleteI am my dog Katie. I really like my life, I have a family that really cares about me and lets me sleep whenever I want. They come and pet me a lot too. That feels so good. I only get my own food. It's the same thing every day, so it gets boring when I see my friends getting food from people. That's okay though, because my family really cares for me. My family takes me out to play fetch and run around a lot, which is very fun and exhilarating. I love running down the hill with the wind flowing through my hair. It really annoys me when the two youngest boys fight all the time, but oh well. I love my family very much.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Bud Sparticus Fehr and I have the best life in the world. I get to sleep all day until Hayden, Jan, and Bobby get home and then one of them takes me for a walk. At supper, they either make me an extra of whatever their having or give me their leftovers. Then, at 9, I go upstairs to Bob and Jan's bed and go to sleep. When I wake up in the morning, Jan gives me the milk from her cereal bowl. I have the best life ever.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Natasha Rose, I am a pure white llama with a black tail. I got my name first name from my mother, and my middle name is my owner’s middle name. My owner is Meghan, and she is fantastic! She feeds me twice and a day, and almost always gives me a treat every day. My pen is four acres, so I have lots of room to run around with, my fellow llama, Hannah Banana Marie. I love to just walk around, graze, and try to find long lushes grass. In the back of the pasture there are lots of trees, which I go under to keep cool during the warm summer months and to get out of the rain during storms. I love living on Meghan’s farm, and I can not wait for her to get home and give me a treat!
ReplyDeleteToday I am my cat. My name is Harley and I am a huge tailess manx. I wake up in the morning and impatiantly wait for my breakfast. As soon as I am done eating in the closet from my brother. When Maegan leaves for school I move to the couch. There I stretch out and do the hard work of sleeping. As soon as Maegan gets home I am at the door waiting. I am waiting there not just because I love her but because I want my food. I get really frustrated when she does not feed my right away but I love her anyways.
ReplyDeleteToday I would be my dog Paula. My life isn't too bad, but the people can get annoying. I do whatever I want, because the people shouldn't be telling me what to do, but rather I should be able to tell them what to do. I really don't like it when one of the kids make me share the front seat with them in the truck. The front seat is made for the dogs, just feel how comfortable it is, all the people should just sit in the back. Although, I like it when they give me a treat, I hate it when they pull their hand back slowly, and make me have to work harder to get it. The person I like the most is that old guy that n one messes with. when that mom of there's is gone, the old guy lets me sleep on the bed. He somewhat understands how important us dogs are.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm big Ronda. I'm a chicken. I have a great life. Every morning, Bobby comes down to my house and gives me some corn. That makes me real happy. After that, I spend the rest of the day looking for food and trying not to get eaten by rabid animals. Life is amazing. I love laying eggs and eating Lana's flowers. Yummmmmm:)
ReplyDeleteToday I am my black lab Copper Eugene. I wake up in the morning and struggle down the stairs. I really hate those stairs. I walk through the bathroom, through the dining room and kitchen, and I get let outside to go potty. Once I have done my business, Sammy comes out and gives me three big cups of food. I like Sammy; she is my favorite. I hate it when they put this red collar on me though when I go outside. It has these prongs coming out of this black box and if I go outside the yard, I get zapped. Ouch! My whole day consists of me running around outside in the yard playing by myself until someone comes home. But when it gets cold out, I get to lay on the couch inside ALL day. It is pretty much the best life ever. I get fed at night too when everyone else is eating. Sometimes I even get an afternoon snack when my people are feeling generous. I like to bark, even though I get yelled at for it. I love my life as a lazy puppy.
ReplyDeleteTODAY I AM THOR. Taking into consideration that I am quite the B.A. cat, almost nothing scares me. Even though I am about the size of my owner Jessica's hand, I still jump off things much taller than her (even though that's not saying much). One of my legs usually doesn't work right, but that never stops me from chasing all of the cool toys I have. I used to live outside but Jess was nice enough to take me in. It's a cool life in here. I think I like it.
ReplyDeleteToday I am a cat. My real name is Malibu, but my family calls me Booboo. I am a calico color cat that lays around all day. My family feeds me only the food that I like eat. I attempt to get onto the counters but sometimes I do not make it and fall back on the floor. My family laughs at me when I do that. I love to sleep with one of them in their beds. I usually switch around everynight, but sometimes they lock me out. I love living with my family, and I get to do nothing all day long.
