This is another writing assignment from the writing class I took with Lauren.  It is about our dog Winston.  Winston has since passed away, but it brought back memories, so I thought I would share it.

Our Dog Winston

Our dog can leap higher than the railing and put his paws on your chest.

Our dog can bark so loud that he can wake the whole neighborhood at 2 a.m.

Our dog is chocolate, with a hint of honey in the summer and a little bit of white cream.

Our dog likes to run like the wind when it is cool, but will hide like a rabbit from the burning sun.

Our dog likes home cooking better than family.  He prefers steaks and spaghetti with meatballs.

Our dog has more hair than a bear, and likes to leave a trail of it when in the house.
