A Day in the Life of Murry

By

One day, Murry the dog went on the living room carpet. “Bad dog!” cried his owner, Ricky. You know you’re not supposed to go on the carpet! Now Mom will get mad at me.” “So,” thought Murry, “you’re getting in trouble, not me. I’ll probably get another lecture, but I’ll just try my puppy dog look.” But instead of a lecture, Ricky’s mom said “That’s the last straw Murry! Off to dog training school with you!” Murry whimpered and tried the look.

The next day, Ricky and his mom took Murry to the vet. After his appointment with Dr. Flo, Murry looked up at Mrs. Regard, Rickey’s mom, as if to say, “Please don’t send me to dog training, Pleeeeease!” Mrs. Regard just shrugged and asked when the next session of dog school started. Ricky whispered “Don’t worry boy, I’ll be there with you the whole time.”

It turned out that Murry liked dog school very much (except when he had to go home). He never went on the living room carpet again (except for maybe once or twice).
