My Pet Brownie

Brownie

By Lucas

Brownie is a 10 month old male labrador. Brownie likes to eat left overs from my plate, he loves chicken and every now and then we will give him a treat of beef and bacon bites.

Brownie loves to run around and play with the soccer ball but sometimes he gets to excited and bites a hole in the ball.

Brownie can shake hands,sit down, roll over and attack on command.

My mum and I have trained Brownie to do all these things.

I got Brownie as my birthday present, he is the best birthday present ever.

Brownie is a really good hunter he catches the rats in the house,and he is a pro guard dog.

I bought Brownie to school for pet day, Dad had to hold Brownie on a lead because there were other dogs. We walked around while the judge was watching.

Brownie won a ribbon.

Pet Show

Zayne’s Pet  Ducks.`

I’m going to tell you about my ducks their names are Steve and Billy.

I named them because they didn't have a name. I think their names suit them.

The ducks have fun in the bush with their mum. When they are in the bush they sleep. When they are  with me they have fun with their toys.

They always fall down the cliff and they seem to like scrambling back up again it. I don’t know why they like skidding down the bank into the water.

They eat oats and bread when they visit me.. They eat every day and they come inside with clean feet. They eat and eat for ever. It’s awesome!!

The ducks tricks are running, jumping. It so cool to see them having so much fun.
