First, tell how you feel saying good-bye to your family.
Then, describe being placed in a box under the tree.
Finally, write about what it’s like to meet your new friend and owner.

Your paragraph must be at least 5 sentences long and include the following:

  • a topic sentence
  • supporting details
  • complete sentences

Happy blogging,
Mrs. Braddy :-)

  1. I would be happy to be a present for a little child. I would not like to have to leave my family. I would feel like i'm being tortured in a box. I would be bouncing around in the box. I would be running around the house because I would be so excited to meet my new owner. That is how I would feel if I got picked to be a Christmas present for a little child. Asher

  2. If I was a puppy given to a new owner I would be sad leaving my parents behind. I would be anxious under the tree as I wait for my new owner to open the box. That was holding me inside. Then I heard the boy opening the box then the top opened and there was a gust of light. The owner turned out to be super nice. I was super glad to be with my new owner! [Bryan]

  4. If I was a dog my name would be Tara. I would be a Border Collie. I would lick, cuddle, and play with my family till go time! I would be sad to leave but happy to see my new family but sad to leave. I would cuddle with my favorite toy, blanket, and pillow till I would be opened by a little girl or boy! They would finally open me up and I would yelp, wag my tail, and whine, being the excited puppy I am.

    2. (2 correct entry) I was chosen to be the x-mas puppy! I'm so excited! Right now santa is packing me in holiday TWINKLING paper! He gave me some HAZEL cake to give to the little boy I was getting sent too. He put a letter in there with the name PEBBLE because I was the smallest pup to say sad goodbyes to cocoa, kiki, and clayten. I was on my way to the wemberrie house on x-mas night. I was placed down the chimney with a feeling of a popsicle on a hot summer day. I slept most of the night to wake up to corban opening the present with me in it! I was on the spot wide awake. I popped out with a santa bow on my head! the 11 year old child smiled with joy! "Pebble!" he yelled with happiness noticing my name and eating my cake. He played fetch with me taking no notice of the other presents. We created many many memories that day. That is my story!

  7. When my mom told me that I had been chosen to be the one and only Santa pup, I was honored! Of corse, I was super sad to be leaving my pack and friends. I remember being put in a bright pink bag with a purple ribbon. My box started jumping up and down, and I knew that I was flying in the slay. I knew that it would be a long ride, so I decided to close my eyes for a little while. Not long after that, I was asleep. When I woke up, I saw a cute little head staring down at me. I knew that I was with my family!

  8. I would really miss my mom and dad but they told me I would get the best owner of all time, and I did. my owner picked me up than we went home, and she put me in this really colorful box with toys and food in it to oh and a bed. Than when I woke up there was screaming humans and finally when they opened me up they cryed. They loved me so much and even more humans came over they loved me to. I loved my owners so much, and licked my owners until they stop. I was the best puppy ever.

  9. If I was a little puppy and I was a Christmas present this would be my story. I would be living in a pet shop called Dan Smith's pets in Chicago. Dan Smith was talking on the phone with someone in St. Louis, and they wanted a puppy for a Christmas present for a boy named Tom. Dan Smith said that he knew what would be a perfect and he said it was me. I went to the water bowl and cried into it. I didn't want to leave my family. The next morning Dan Smith took me to the truck for the drive to St. Louis. My mom and dad said they would write every week. I fell asleep. The next thing I knew I was in a box, and smelled pine needles. A few minutes later I heard running feet down the stairs. Someone said "Open this one first." then the lid came off the the box and I saw Tom. I loved hanging out with Tom, we were the best friends. That is what would happen if I was a puppy.

  10. If I was a dog and I was leaaving to be a christmas present I would be sad. I would have to say bye I would try to say bye but all they could hear would ruf ruf. Anyways I would be sad and then they would put me in a box "No the box not the box!" I would say they wouldn't here me though. So I was in the dreadful box and I was wondering who would have me as a present? I thought for hours. Then finally someone started to open me up I got out of the box. "Wow dad look" said a litle boy" its a dog!" Surprise said the dad and mom. I realised the face of the dad. Wait he was Tom Brady! I saw him on T.V in the super bowl to be exact. I was thinking O my O my O my I'm Tom Brady's son dog no way. So after that I explored their house it was gigant at least 3 times bigger then my old one. I even had my own toy room it was awsome. Every once in a while I thought about what my old family was doing. I sometimes miss them but I know there having fun to. So anyways that's my story bye. O wait I forgot to tell you my name it is Gavin now bye.

    2. When I was chosen as a Christmas present for a little boy I was excited. But I was sad that I was taken away from my family. But I was scared when I went in the box cause im claustrophobic. I could of got sick from no oxygen. But really I was sure I was fine even tho I would disagree leaving my family I had to. I just disapproved the idea of having to leave my family but I knew I had to. I was unafraid to have a new family.

  12. When I got chosen, I was filled with joy! I thought I would be famous! When I had to leave my family, it was far away from home, but they would always be with me. When they put me in that box I said," Hay! I do not like the dark! Do you know how old I am, I am only this many: 5 month's!" (what the human heared:) " Ruff, Ruff, Ruff, Ruff, Ruff, Ruff!!" "It like he never heared me!! The dad was a poet the mom was a lazy person and the little girl was so nice! I loved the family I got!-Mary :-)

  13. If I was a dog and my mom told me that I was chosen to be given to a boy or girl I would be sad. I just realised that my ankle was hurting. So they went to put me in a box I was like no but all they heard was ruf ruf. So I was in the box then I saw a angel. It as like a human with wings. It told me that my new family was nice. So when I heard someone opening up the box I was excited. Then I saw the boys face I couldn't understand him cause he did not speak dog. When I peaked out I saw a face that I feel like I have seen before. Then I remberd that it was Tom Brady. He is a tackle football player for the patriots. I saw him on something called the super bowl. After that me and his son became best friends, but every once in a while I wonder what my old family is doing.

  14. I would be happy to be a Christmas present for a little child. My name would be Pebble. I would not like to leave my family. I would feel like I'm being tortured in a box. I would be bouncing around like a simple puppy. I would chuckle and run around the hose when I saw my new family. That is how I would feel if I was a puppy as a Christmas present for a little child.

  15. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that I was going to be a christmas puppy for a little boy! It would be sad leaving my parents behind. I was very lonely and uneasy under the tree as I waited for my new owner to open the box. That was holding me inside. Then I heard the boy opening the box! The top opened and there was a big gust of light! The owner turned out to be super nice! I was super glad to be with my new owner! He was also a very helpful boy! It was so fun being a christmas pup!!! [Bryan]

  16. If I was chosen to be a present for a little boy and girl I would be honored. I would be a little scared to leave my family, but I would know it's time to go. I would sort of be scared when I would be but under the tree because it would be dark and lonely. I would be very very excited to see my owners. I would jump and lick hem. They named me cocoa the dog because I am brown and white. My family bought me a luxury bed and bowls. The parents are also famous country music singers. They chose me out of a million dogs.

  17. If I were a dog I would really miss my dog family. I was really scared to leave my dog family but my mom said your owner will be awesome. One cold sunny day a woman came to pick me up and once we got home she put me in a box with toys, a bed and food. Once it was morning they had a picnic than they opened there presents. Once they got to me they started crying they were so happy to see me. They played with me, they loved on me they did everything with me. After opening presents and playing with me we watch a movie and the we pretty quiet.

  18. "You had been chosen as a Christmas present," my mom said sadly. "Wait! I have to disappear? Away from you guys? I disagree! That's unbelievable," I yelped sadly. I went into my bed and cried. I.. I..zzz. I woke up with humans staring down at me. She picked me up and cuddled me. She put me down and I trampled into my moms body. She licked me and told me to never forget her. I nodded and I walked over to siblings and dad. I talked to them, cuddled, and was picked back up from the lady. She put me in the bag after she put my bed, toys, blanket, and my pillow in the bag. I guess I fell asleep because when I woke up I was being put into box. She had put stuff in there, old and new! I looked at her like she was crazy! I played in there and she put me by a huge tree! A Christmas tree? I looked at it, and went back to sleeping. I woke up to a sound of my box opening. I realized now that I had a collar with a name on it Tara. But I was a Border Collie not a Tara! I saw some light and joy-filled faces look at me! PEOPLE?! I wanted other doggies not people! They grabbed me and yelled. I started to like them after I got some food!

  20. i would be honored to be a x-mas gift to a child! but i think that my dog parents disapproved of my uncertain decision, but i am unafraid to go into the box! inside the box, i feel kind of scared because i am claustrophobic inside the little box!! but i'm thinking, "i hope that they will name me seth!!" but when they open me, they are all yelling, so i curl up into a ball and try to become invisible, but then they stop. they pick me up, and i'm thinking, "where are they taking me?" right now i am really scared and miss my family, but when i was set down, i opened my eyes and they said, "aww, we should name him seth," and I was so happy!! so i was exited to be a new puppy!! -seth

  21. i can't believe i was picked to be a christmas present. out of every dog in my litter they chose me the kids parent came in a "car" and took me to a thing they call a "house". it was the day before christmas eve when the kid got home i couldn't see him because i was in a box but i did hear him. pretty late that night after the boy was asleep his parents came and gave me a little bit of food. the next morning i was noisily awakened by unnecessary footsteps. (that was probably the kid) then came louder footsteps (probably the parents) and then my box opened and i was greeted by a smile of disbielief.

  22. I couldn't wait to meet my new family!I had been chosen as a Christmas present for a little boy. I whimpered and pawed at my old family as I got ready to leave. I was scared under the christmas tree in the box. I wanted to fall asleep so bad but I couldn't. Because I could wait for my new friends to take me out. When I see them I would be so happy that I was chosen for the little boy . I would probaly miss my family from time to time. But I would still love my new family. When they took me out. I saw all of the pictures on the walls. I heard them talking about that I looked like a weasel. they were so excited to play with me. I love my new family.

  23. Hi I'm a puppy I would tell you my name but I don't have one.
    I am a baby my exact age is 4 weeks old. I am really excited to meet my new family. I was bouncing up down and my little dog heart was racing and bouncing up out of my little chest. When my owners came to pick me up from my old house I was so excited. I heard my owners saying they might name me Diesel. I looked out the window the whole car ride home and the you won't believe what I saw. A SQUIRREL!!!!!! I was trying to jump out the window but it was closed. When we got to the house all I wanted to do was sniff EVERYTHING. THe next morning was Christmas and I couldn't go to sleep. Finally after I fell asleep I had dream. My dream was so cool. So cool that I can't even remember what happened. I woke and immediately realized it was Christmas morning. Right as my owner saw me awake they picked me up and put me in a big box. They taped it up and poked a couple wholes so I could breathe. Then I heard a little girls voice. "Mom who's this box for?" I heard the mom say "just open it" The little girl opened it and pulled me out of the box and started screaming her head off. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH it's a puppy. The first thing the little girl said was "why does she have a wrinkle right there. Then she put me down and started petting me. I loved her so much I couldn't wait to snuggle and sleep in her bed with her. That night we snuggled and watched a movie together. The next morning we went to the pet store and got a bed, a leash, a collar, and some dog food then I went home and fell asleep.

  25. I was recently chosen to be a Christmas present for a little boy. It was really hard to say goodbye to my family. I could almost see the tears in my mother's eyes. I said goodbye and got in to my box. I fell asleep in the box when I woke up I smelled the constant smell of sugar. Then suddenly a big tearing sound and I saw light and a big smile. Then that's when I knew I had found the right owner.

  27. I am a dog that is being adopted by a little boy and a little girl. When I was A dog I am saying Good bye to my sisters and parents and I am feeling sad. Then be picked by a boy and a girl. It would suck when I was Under the tree in a box under, but when I came out it would but awesome. If I could watch there tennis games it would be fun If they were an athlete I would watch there whole season. They would love me and I would love them. We would go on walk and cuddle together and we would also play with each other. If I got in trouble it would be bad, but I would try not to get in trouble. When I was a dog I would have all the fun in the world. George c

  28. I am a cute dog and I would be a goldendoodle. Well first I am a big beggar. If I was getting delivered to a house in a flying sled I would be scared to death. It would pretty uncomfortable sitting in a box for about a couple hours and then getting picked up by a kid, that could be pretty irritating. But it would be worth it. When the person opened the box they went to go get a collar for me. The boys name was Jason and he is a senior, but he very nice to me. That is what if I were a dog that someone got for Christmas.

  29. I could not wait to meet my new family! had to be chosen as a present on Cristmas. I would be so happy to get opened but I would also be scared. I would need to control myself so I would not go wild. I would need to agree to my family for everything. I would need to be safe instead of wild and crazy. I would be happy to make new friends and family. I would need to trust my family and believe them to. I would be so happy to play with toys and have a lot fun.

  32. I am excited to be a Christmas present for a little boy because I could snuggle up and sleep with the boy. I did not like the part where the parents put me in a box because it was dark and I was afraid. When the little boy opened the box, he taught me to catch a tennis ball. I would play with my puppy friends a lot. I would eat anything I wanted to because I would not be on a diet. This is why I love being a Christmas puppy.
