Dear Mrs. Huffman,
Hello. I'm here to tell you something about myself. Well here goes. My name is Matt. I like to draw. I have brown hair, and I have three dogs: Buddy , Teva ,and Zebo, and 2 rats and a bird.
Here is one time I got hurt really bad. My cousin and a lot of my other relatives went riding one day this summer. We unloaded the bikes and stated to ride. We went on a couple of trails and then stopped to rest. We had some stuff to eat and then we started to race. I was in 2nd and my cousin was in first, and I turned and hit a tree. I was bleeding and didn't know what happened .
Well that's what happened. We had pizza afterwards.
Sincerely,
Matt
My Pet
Winter, 1999
My pet is a Burmese python. He is about 6 feet long and eats rabbits. We got Kerby at a pet store in Portland. The Burmese python lives in Africa and his name is Kerby and my dad got to hold his mom. She is 12 feet long.
One day we fed him a hamster. The hamster bit Kerby in the mouth and some sawdust got in Kerby's mouth. He had a piece of barkdust in his mouth but my dad plucked it out.
Kerby my snake is hard to take care of. We have to clean when he goes to the bathroom and it stinks a lot. We have to fill his water dish and get food for him.
Me and my dad also have two dogs, Tuna and Bandit. Tuna is half rottwiellor half blue heler. Bandit is half norwegen shepered half blue heler.
When I got Tuna she didn't like me. She didn't listen to me. Now she is the best dog in the world. She can get in the tree fort. Bandit we got about 2 weeks ago and is not a very good dog.
