A Day in My Life 20: Walking Mrs. Lee's Dog

On Sunday afternoon, someone knocks on my door. It's my neighbor, Mrs. Lee, with her dog, Cookie. Her knee hurts, so she can't walk him today. I don't have a dog, but I say yes! Cookie is smaller than me, but he's stronger! He pulls me down the street really fast! Slow down, Cookie! Wait for me! Then he stops at every tree and every flower. He wants to smell everything! At the park, Cookie sees another dog! It's a little brown dog with a blue collar. They sniff each other and wag their tails. I think they're going to be friends! I throw an old tennis ball for Cookie. He runs after it and brings it back! Again and again! He never gets tired. After an hour, I'm more tired than Cookie! So we walk slowly back home. Mrs. Lee thanks me and gives me some homemade cookies. Cookies for walking Cookie. How funny! At home, Mochi smells my jeans and looks angry! Don't worry, Mochi. You're still my favorite!
