about my doggie

Long time ago my family and I had a dog named Dude. When we went on a vacation we left him with my grand parents. When they were going back to there house Dude was in the back of the truck. In the middle of the ride home Dude jumped out of the back of the truck when their were on the freeway. My grandparents felt so bad that they bought me another dog, which is my dog now.
His name is Simba, he is a golden retriever and a shar pei mix, He has black fur but he has like gray hairs around his mouth so it kind of looks like a beard. Simba is a small dog couple feet tall. He is about 11 years old so that is about 77 years old in dog years. My dog is train well. He can sit, lay down (sometimes), and he can shake your hand. He knows what walk means and bath but he doesn’t like baths at all. If you say goodie he starts to get all excited and jumps around because he likes dog treats.
In the summers my family and I go on camping trips and we bring Simba with us. Car rides are not his favorite thing to do. He doesn’t stick his head out the window like ordinary dogs. When we are at the camp site he always chases the birds and squires. When me and my dad go to the lake to fish we bring him with us. He tries to hide in the corner of the boat because he knows that he going to go for a swim. I think that he is afraid of many things. Like he is afraid to do a lot of things especially anything to do with water.

My New Goals

In my past 9 blogs that I have wrote in two month I have changed what I said I would write about. In the beginning I said that I would write about baseball music and skateboarding, but I ended up writing about my past vacations. I wrote about my vacations because I found it was much easier to write. I was forcing myself to come up with things to say about baseball. I also did not know what to say about skating about music.
My goals in the beginning of the year have also change and also been added too. In the beginning of the year I wanted to increase my vocabulary and also learn how to expand in my writing. I am learning how to cut pieces of my writing to make it sound more fluid and to cut back on repeating things I have said. Now I still want to increase my vocabulary but also learn to say my ideas in a way that makes sense. Usually when I try to write I start writing things down but then realize that I does not make any sense. I think this is one of my main problems in writing.
In the future I think I will continue writing about my trips and vacations but also write about things that are happening in the world news wise. In one of my blogs I wrote about the Japanese Government and there election. I get pretty interested in this kind of stuff. For me to reach my goals I am going to start writing slower and more read through my work more carefully. For my other two goals I will use the list of word that we got in class and try to put some new words in my future writing. I will also keep trying to use what I was taught and cutting my sentences to make them shorter.
