My Dog Desi

by Blair

I remember when my dog Desi died.

He was a very good dog.  It was sad when he died.

I loved that dog so much.  He wouldn't bite me.

But my other dog, Lusie, she tried to bite me

sometimes.  But she never bit me.  Lusie died 

because she was older than Desi 

and I think sometimes Lusie bit Desi and 

took his bones that he chewed on sometimes.

When Desi died I was five.  When Desi died

the house was a whole lot quieter.

I missed he barks and the jingle

of his collar.
