Garbology Story

Austin and his family where eating dinner when his parents said" We have to tell you something"," What is it", said Austin. 'Were getting a dog", your father and I will be going to going to the pet store tomorrow." His mom continued" You should get to bed its getting late". Okay Mom. Austin replied. Austin went up stairs, got the toothpaste and brushed his teeth, then went to bed. Austin woke up the next morning to his mom making breakfast. When he went down stairs and he saw his mom flipping pancakes with the spatula. After eating breakfast Austin went to school.  "Austin came home to a tiny Chihuahua." Say hi to your new dog scruffy." said Austin's mom. "How big is he? " Austin asked  " I didn't know lets find out," Austin dad got out a tap measure and measured the dog. "He is only 9 inches tall and he was 10 inches long" Answered his dad. Can I play with him outside?" Austin asked "Why not" answered his parents. Austin went into the backyard with his dog. He grabbed a stick off the ground and throw it saying "Fetch".  Scruffy darted across the yard, going after the stick. The dog took a sharp turn and started heading towards a bunny with a cotton ball tail "No Scruffy , no!" Austin yelled as the dog chased the bunny into the woods. Austin sadly went inside and told his parents what happened. They lit the candle so the dog would know which house to come back to, if he ever came back. Austin went up to his room and cried, thinking the dog would, like a balloon when let go, would never come back. The next day, Austin decided to go and check the back yard to see if Scruffy had returned. Sadly, he hasn't returned. Austin spent the rest of the day worrying if something had happened to him. Once it started to get dark an idea had struck Austin. He was going to look for him. Austin grabbed a battery powered flashlight and set out into the woods. Night was almost upon him, when suddenly he heard something barking at him. When he turned around, Scruffy was there. "Scruffy ! I missed you so much," Austin said as he picked up the dog. He went home and told his the good news. Scruffy was given a bath and built a fence to next day, so this wouldn't happen again. Austin went outside the next day and when the fence was done they finished there game of fetch.
