Puppy Trouble!

By Kevin

The blame crashed down on me, even though, it was my dog who did the damage. I admit I was in the room, but I swear I'm innocent. But let's rewind. I am my parent's one and only son. I have no brothers or sisters, just a dog. Actually he's not even a dog. He's a hyperactive puppy who is always sniffing, digging, bumping, or chewing. I, on the other hand, am a calm person. On the day of the incident, I was sitting at the table trying to figure out fractions. I was shading in a circle. Then I was thirsty so I took my glass of water and took a sip. After my refreshment, I went back to work. Meanwhile, my dog was sniffing around. Soon he saw my glass of water. He wanted some for himself. I didn't notice. Then my dog starts running crazily towards the table. He was so close to the table he leaped and mysteriously spun sending his hindend right into the right leg of the table. The impact from the crash knocked my water off the table. Water was spilling over the edge of the table. My dog was drenched. Then my mom came out of her room and saw the water on the table and the soaked to the skin dog. My mom, said,'' Sawh doi noick gom goi eh''. I couldn't explain because my mouth was sealed shut. I couldn't answer! Then my mom told me to go up to my room with no TV! I was so terrified and humiliated :(. My dog followed calmly after so I could dry him. After that I went to my room. I learned my lesson to never, ever put a glass of water next to the edge of the table again!
