Finding Muffin
I am having a bad day today. I woke up this morning
and my mom told me that my dog, Muffin, is missing. Muffin lives outside in our
backyard. The door of the fence that surrounds our backyards was open this
morning when my mom woke up. My mom walked around the neighborhoods and called
Muffin’s name but did not come home. She asked all of our neighbors but no one
has seen Muffin since yesterday.
I decided that I am going to make signs to hang all
over town, so if someone finds Muffin, they can call my family. I called my
next door neighbors, Kelly, to see if she wanted help me make signs. Kelly came
over and we made signs with a picture of Muffin and my phone number. Muffin is
a big, friendly Golden Retriever. He is five years old but he still acts like a
puppy. Before we left a hang up our signs, I put a bowl of Muffin my favorite
treats by the fence door.
Kelly and I went a supermarket first. We asked the
cashier if we could hang up a sign on the wall. She said yes and wished us
luck. Next, we went to the library. The librarian told us that she saw a Golden
Retriever walking past the library while she was outside during her lunch break.
She said that it was walking in direction of the playground, so we decided to
go there next.
When Kelly and I arrived in
the playground I looked everywhere but I didn't see Muffin no where. I said to
Kelly “Kelly I'm starting to think that I really lost my dog “no way we are
going to find Muffin don't worry his going to show up” said Kelly. So I went
home mom called me to dinner but I was so sad that I wasn't hungry at all. I
just cried all night. Mom came to my room and said “son don't be like that I
know you love Muffin all of us do, but you need to eat something” Mark the son respond
“no mom I'm sad I can't live with out
muffin he has been with us for 5 years his my best friend”. From there mom knew
she had to do something about it. The next day mom and Mark went to the
neighbors house and ask everybody if they seen Muffin and if they could help us
to find him. We had help from everyone, people looked everywhere but
unfortunately no one had found Muffin. When we got home mom looked in to my
eyes and said “kid I'm so sorry but Muffin is gone” that was the sadness moment
of my life. Mom said “everyone will go someday Mark and this was his time, he
will be meeting grandma up there. So that made me feel
better.
