MISS LUCY



Miss Lucy is a dog that lives in our neighborhood. She is

always getting into trouble.



Yesterday, she dug under the fence that goes around her

back yard. She dug and dug. She crawled out through

the hole she had made. She came over to our house.



Miss Lucy likes to dig a lot. I think she wants to be a

gardener. One day last summer, I was visiting Miss

Lucy’s owners. Mrs. Smith had planted some flowers in a

big pot that morning. We looked at the big flowerpot.



Someone had taken out all the flowers! There was a dog

biscuit sticking up in the dirt. I guess Miss Lucy thought it

would be a good idea to plant a dog biscuit instead of

flowers.



Now Miss Lucy seemed to think it would be a good idea

to dig in our flowerpots. I told Miss Lucy I didn’t want any

of her funny help. I put her in the basket on my bike and

took her for a ride back to her house. The Smiths were

very happy to see her. They like Miss Lucy very much,

even though she makes a lot of messes and does a lot of

silly things.
