1. Sammy
By:Alissa Brehmer
It was a glistening Saturday
morning and the sun was bursting through my
kitchen windows . I had just had my 4th
birthday and I was feeling great. With my long
blond hair streaming down my back I walked
downstairs from my bedroom with a huge
smile that nearly took up my entire face.
downstairs sitting on the couch in the living
room, I found my older sister Emily. Emily had
a huge smile on her face much bigger than
mine. Em's 7th birthday was coming up soon.
She always gets excited when it's around her
birthday month. Only Emily and I were home,
my mom told Em and I she would be back
soon and the babysitter would be at my house
soon. She didn't say where she was going
though. My dad was coaching his high school
boys basketball team at South Lyon High
School. Later that day my sister and I were
anxious to see when my mom would get home.
Our babysitter had left and mom had called
and said she had a special surprise for us. I'm
not a fan of surprises because I go insane
when I don't know what something is and I

2. always want to know what it is and, where it
came from!!! When we finally heard the
kitchen door opening we heard a small
bark...... next thing I know a small, short, ball
of fuzz with to brown big eyes and a wet black
nose came racing for me and my sister. Emily
doesn't really like dogs so as a small frightened
little kid she ran up on the couch where our
new puppy couldn't reach her and started
screaming,"IT'S GOING TO BITE ME! IT'S
GOING TO BITE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!" My mom
ignored her and said,"Happy Birthday girls!"
Ever since that very day Sammy and I have
been best buds. I'll always remember the day I
first met him and how those puppy eyes were
just to adorable to resist. Sammy will always
be my best friend in the whole wide world!!!!!!
