Josie The Monkey

    It was one of the hottest days of the year.  Jennifer and John are twins.  Identical twins, except for the fact that one is a boy and one is a girl, of course.  Anyway, they were walking to the park, because they were going to meet up with some friends.  When they got there they wandered around for a bit, because they had noticed that none of there friends were there yet.  Something about John and Jennifer is that they are very competitive with each other.  
     "I bet I can climb that oak tree faster than you." Jennifer exclaimed.  
     "I bet you can't!" John said even though he was not so sure of himself.
      They were off as soon as he said that.  They ran to the oak tree and started climbing it.  They were neck-and-neck.  When they reached the top it was a tie.  
     "I hate how it's always a tie!" John and Jennifer said in unison. 
     "Stop it!"  they said in unison.  Again.
All of a sudden, something blurred flung itself out of the leaves toward Jennifer.  
     "Aaaaaahhhhh!"  Jennifer let out a scream.  The thing landed on her and they were just a blizzard of hands, feet, and what seemed to be paws.  Suddenly, everything just stopped.  When Jennifer and John came out of their funk, what they saw was the most unforeseen predicament they could have seen themselves in.  There, sitting on Jennifer's lap was a small capuchin monkey.  Then, it was gone.  The monkey just disappeared.
     "Please say you saw it too," Jennifer said. 
     "Unfortunately, I did," said John.
     The next day they were at the park again.  John and Jennifer were wary of their surroundings.  They were always looking around them, thinking the monkey was still there.  All of a sudden the monkey was right in front of them.
     "What should we do?" asked John.
     Jennifer started towards the monkey.
     "It doesn't look so frightening," Jennifer explained.  "I think we should take it home with us. It looks lost."
     "Fine," John replied reluctantly.
     So they took him home.  When they got there they started making their home fit for a capuchin monkey.  When they were done,  Josie, they named her that, lay down for a while.
     They heard a knock at the door, and when they opened it they saw a keeper from the local zoo.
     "We are missing Jazz, our young capuchin monkey.  We were just wondering if you have seen her around.  She escaped two days ago."
     "No, we haven't seen her," Jennifer said.
     "Thank you for your time."
     Jennifer shut the door and looked to where Josie was lying down.
     "That zookeeper was mean.  We cannot let them take Josie."
     "Oh thank gosh."  The monkey was talking!!  "I absolutely hate them!!"
     "What did you just say?" asked John.
     "I said, I absolutely hate those people.  They are so mean."
     That is when Jennifer fainted.
     

     "That girl has our monkey.  We are going to get her back."  The zookeeper was talking to his boss.
    "Well, then go!"
    "Yes, sir"


    After Jennifer and John came to terms with Josie being able to talk, they took Josie for a walk.  They looked back and they saw zoo-people running towards them.  They started running.
    Jennifer, John, and Josie have been on the run ever since.

My Awesome Pets

        I adore my pets.  I have two turtles.  They are Red-eared Sliders.  They are called Red-eared Sliders because they have red stripes where their ears should be.  They are magnificent.
        My two turtle's names are Melvin and Rudy.  Melvin is smaller than Rudy.  Rudy eats a lot while Melvin likes to kind of hide beneath the basking rock.
        They eat a lot!  I love feeding them dried shrimp and dried worms.
        I enjoy playing with them except when they try to bite me.  I don't really like them then.  Once in a while when I bring them outside to get some fresh air, Melvin just sits there not doing anything while Rudy is always moving around trying to run away.  
       They are so adorable and are small, but that is because they are still young.
       My turtles are some of the best pets!

Snow White And The Bad Ego

Maquoketa Valley Times

    On Dec. 25, 13, there was a breaking/entering and a shooting.  The suspect(s) fled before officials arrived.  The family that survived the shooting speak out about the incident. 

"It was so scary!" says one.

"It was like total paranoia, dude.  There were a bunch of little people with the person," says another.

"I was so astounded because nothing like this has ever happened to me before. I just stood there while the person put our valuables in his/her bag."

Officials have figured out, by the details given by the family, the suspect is a woman.  She is 5'6 and very thin.  She also had raven-black hair.  The little people with her might be dwarfs and about seven in count.

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION, CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

On January 3, 2014, officials have finally found the suspect of the breaking/entering and shooting incident.  She is a middle aged woman whose name is Snow White.  The men with her are the famous seven dwarfs that she is always seen with.  They all fit the description.   They are all now in custody and will face charges.  I guess Snow isn't the perfect person we thought her to be, and the dwarfs, well, we always had a hunch they were bad.  They aren't going to be the most trusted people after all this.

Officials have more to report on the breaking story about the breaking/entering and shooting incident.  The woman that they have in custody did commit the crime, but she isn't Snow White.  She's lying and deceitful, The Queen!   Yeah, that's right.  The first person we should have thought done it, did it.  I guess she is never going to change.  As for the dwarfs, they were just random village-men who aren't very tall.  Sorry, Snow White.  Everyone owes you and the dwarfs an apology.  Especially The Queen.

Only The Very Best...

             I think one of the best products you can spend money on is a turtle.
             Turtles are so entertaining to have as a pet.  You can play with them, you can hold them, and you can feed them and watch them eat.  It is actually quite enjoyable.
              When you play with turtles, they are very boisterous.  They swim around (aquatic turtle) and follow your finger.  You can hold them.  It is really fun to have a turtle.
              When you feed them you can actually feed them anything.  I tried feeding mine goldfish.  They didn't really try to go after them.  Usually they catch them, but my turtles couldn't.  I also feed them shrimp and worms.
              I truly think you should buy a turtle.
