Classwork- Maci saves the Day

So for class I have to write all these stories. The whole purpose of the class is to write about something. So I decided Since I am writing it I might as well share it with people...... So here is my story about Maci saves the Day.

Maci’s Saves the Day

“Are you excited to go to the lake?” Megan asked Maci. Maci wagged her tail in excitement. She had every right to be excited because she was going to spend the weekend with Meme and Dado while her owners, Megan and Andrew, went out of town. Meme and Dado lived about 15 minutes outside of Lubbock in a little community called Ransom Canyon. Andrew grabbed his keys and while Megan picked up Maci’s pink “Going to Grandma’s” suitcase, and then they all loaded up in the truck on their way. Upon arriving to Ransom Canyon Megan rolls down the window for Maci to stick her head out of the truck to smell the clean fresh air of country living. Maci was very excited to see the lake, geese and when they turned into Meme and Dados drive she couldn’t wait to tell them she has arrived. Megan and Andrew got Maci all settled then said their goodbyes. “We will be back on Sunday, and be good for Meme and Dado” Megan told Maci as she hugged her good bye. Maci then figured out that Megan and Andrew were going on a trip without her and this made her very sad. Meme picked her up while the red truck left the driveway. “Do you want to go for a ride on the boat? Meme asked, This made Maci very happy she ran to the back door to let her know that the answer is YES! Meme then brought her lifejacket and put it on so that they could go on the boat with dado. It was the beginning of summer and dado had worked on the boat ALL DAY and was going to take it for a test drive and invited the girls to go with him. “All aboard” said dado. Maci promptly prissed onto the boat ready for the wind to blow thru her long white and blonde hair, she didn’t really like the lifejacket Meme put on her but if it meant she could ride on the boat then it was ok. They were riding on the boat and then all of a sudden it stopped. “Ugh oh” said Dado, Maci stopped what she was doing to see Dado looking at the gas gage. “Did we run out of gas?” Meme asked, Dado didn’t say a word. Just then Maci turns around and sees a little red can under a towel, she walks over to the towel and barks. “Oh thank you Maci, I forgot that I left this on the boat!” said Mike. Earlier in the day Mike had placed a can of gas on the boat to fill up the gas tank and had forgotten that it was there. “I am sure glad we had Maci along because if not you would have been swimming the boat back home.” Meme said to dado then she turned to Maci and said “Maybe we shouldn’t let your Mom and Dad know that Dado nearly got us stranded on the lake.” Maci wagged her tail and enjoyed that she was being helpful. When Sunday arrived she couldn’t believe how fast the weekend went. She had a lot of fun with Meme and Dado. Maci was so excited to see Megan and Andrew when they walked into the house. “Did you have any problems?” Megan asked Meme “No, everything was just fine” Meme said to Megan then looked at Maci and winked. Their secret was safe with her.
