On April 5, my guinea pig Lady G hurt her foot. Well that’s the day that we found out. Her foot was swollen and it was scratched on the top. I was sacred and worried for her. She couldn’t walk without limping so, we would give her food and bring her places because we didn’t want her to hurt her foot more by walking on it. The next day my dad took her to the vet/hospital. She had to get a shot on her foot and on her lower neck. She was also put in bowl for some strange reason. After that they finally told us what was wrong. They didn’t really say what caused the infection, but did they mention that is was infected. They also gave us some medicine that we had to start giving her twice a day starting tomorrow.

The next day came and we had to give her the medicine. It wasn’t meds, but it wasn’t a shot either. It was liquid that we had to put in her mouth. We thought it was going to be much harder than it was, but surprisingly she liked it. She liked the medicine, but also the shot container that it was in. After a couple days it was all chewed up because she was chewing it more than she was drinking the medicine. Lady G loves to chew things so to be honest I wasn’t surprised.

April 15, and Lady G is still taking her medicine. She now thinks that when I am not downstairs to help my parents do it she thinks doesn’t have to take it. She will only take the medicine if I am down there. This morning instead of drinking it she sprayed it all over her chin and mouth. So, for now on I have to stay downstairs and do the medicine with my parents so then Lady G will behave. That’s all I have for today, thank you!!!!!

 

 

I didn’t mean to tell my dad’s name, but it worked. The dog house that I thought was tiny and purple. Turned into a big opening that a giant could fit through. 

“Am I supposed to go in?” 

“Lady. I didn’t open this huge door just for me to go in. Stop being a question asker and just come in” the puppy wagged it’s butt in my face and went through the white door. I didn’t like this sassy puppy. It acted like it owned the world. The puppy was making me look so bad. I went through this door and a whole lot of puppies were walking around. Some had purses, drinks, clothing, and even basketballs. I saw a basketball court and I got carried away and walked to the court until the dog snapped. 

“Jasona. Get your act together and just follow me” 

“My name is not Jasona. It’s Ray… I mean it’s Jason” the dog gave me a death stare, but then she went back to walking. 

“So, this is a puppy world I can see. Right?” 

“Are you blind? Seriously you need to stop asking stupid questions. It’s not nice to ask questions you already know” 

“I was just making sure what was happening” 

“Well then stop. It’s so annoying” I rolled my eyes and we started walking with silence. After what seemed like forever we came to this office. a big Huskie was there on a couch with a computer on it’s lap. The dog had glasses on he took them off. 

“What do we have here Mrs. Becker? I can see a human. We never have humans here. Please tell me why she is here?” 

“This girl Jason had a breaking in alert and needed help. I want to make sure she’s in the system Mr. Jeff” Oh No. I will have to tell them my dad’s name. Wait… They are dogs. They can’t find my data base and my real name. I am pretty dumb. 

    “What is your full name Jason?” Mr. Jeff asked. 

    “My name is Jason Candlewick Tone” I smiled hoping that he would believe me. But he looked up and put on his glasses.

“I am sorry Mrs. Becker but there is no Jason Candlewick Tone” 

“But sir. I did my work and my studies I saw a Jason Candlewick Tone. Trust me. Please don’t fire me?”  Mrs. Becker panicked.

“No. Yes there is a Jason Candlewick Tone. Just he is a male. Not a female. We have a fraud in our dog land” 

 

As I went through the mirror I saw something totally different then what I imagined. I thought I would’ve saw a beautiful, amazing, woman standing in front of me with a basketball jersey on about to say “Hey. Ready for some basketball.” my answer would obviously be yes. But sadly that’s not what I saw. I saw a tiny puppy dog house right in front of my eyes. I couldn’t go over it and I couldn’t go back through the mirror. I keeled down and yelled. 

 “Is anyone Here?” I asked. “I know basketball and if you are here to scare me I will punch you in the face” I yelled and when I did some little, tiny, thing came out of the house. It was a… puppy. I hate puppies. EWWW! The dog wagged it’s tiny tail and had it’s head up. It had something weird in it’s ear. I think it had air pods in it’s tiny little ears. The dog had a black suit on with a pink skirt and blue high heels on each foot. Finally after what seemed like forever the dog looked up and took off her air pods. 

“Woof, Woof” the dog barked. I looked around and didn’t know what to say. 

“What. I don’t speak DOG!” I didn’t mean to yell but I did. The dog looked at me with a helpless face then barked again. But differently.

“You are a human. I thought a dog was coming in. I need to know your name?” 

“What? You are a dog… you Ar-aren’t supposed to speak” 

“And you aren’t supposed to be in here but I am not judging. Name?” the dog was a little sassy for a tiny little Yorkie.

“Um… My name is Jake” I know it is very weird and unsafe to talk to a dog but like, was there really anything else I could’ve done. 

“Umm… Jake. There is no Jake in my system. You are a girl. I need your real first middle and last name” the dog was pushing it’s luck with me. 

“I am out of here” I tried to go through the mirror but I just still couldn’t.

   “Not today. Tell me your full name. Or my friend wolfs will have a good lunch” the dog threatened me. I was scared to death. I couldn’t tell the dog my real name or I will be exposed. I didn’t know if I should tell the dog or not. So, I did the only thing that came in mind. 

“I am… Jason Candlewick Tone” 

 

Today was basketball tryouts. I was so eager to try out for the basketball team I couldn’t wait any longer. I went to my dad and mom and talked to them about the tryouts.                                                                                                                                                 

“Dad. Do you know where mom is?” I asked jumping up and down. Dad was sitting on a chair reading the newspaper. He put the newspaper down and took his glasses off.                                                                                                                                           

“Your mother left already for work. Why do you need her? It looks like it’s important” I nodded my head.                                                                                                       

 “Yes. I will just tell you. Today we have basketball tryouts I want to tryout. And to tryout you need your parents to sign the paper” I smiled. My dad looked at me with a very upset look. I was very confused. I asked him 2 days ago if i could tryout and he said yes.                                                                                                                                 

 “Jake. I can’t sign this” Dad said. He put down the paper and went back to reading his newspaper.                                                                                                                   

 “Why? I asked you on Wednesday and you said I could tryout. What’s the big deal with signing papers?”                                                                                                             

 “I am not allowed to sign my signature on papers. It is against my job rules. I work for a very hard job Jake and I can get fired if I sign this and they find out” I felt like I was going to cry. The sadness from the back of my brain just came up and left me slumping like a pig.                                                                                                             

 “But… What about my dream dad?”                                                                                       

“I am sorry Jake. But your dream is… just going to be on hold for a while” after my dad said that I wasn’t excited for school anymore. I went upstairs to my bedroom and got changed. I was to sad to go see my dad. So, I couldn’t eat breakfast. I just went to my bathroom and couldn’t find my toothbrush. Or my hairbrush. I was starting to freak out. When things get out of place I freak out because I am a very organized person if you didn’t know.                                                                                        

  “What is going on?” I screamed. My dad didn’t hear me though so I got a little more terrified. Then suddenly like 20 people were banging on my bathroom door. I panicked even more trying to find a place to hide. I looked all around the bathroom until what I thought my imagination was started talking.                                              

“Hide in here. I will keep you safe” My mirror said. I didn’t know if I was able to trust the mirror or not. But honestly it was the only thing I could seem to hide in. Right when the robbers broke open my door I managed to get my whole body through the mirror. When I got inside. It was nothing like I imagined it to be…

 

 

If you really knew me, you would know that I am a very shy girl out in public. But when I am with people that I feel comfortable with, I am way more open and talkative. But the weird thing is that when I am dancing on stage in front of 100’s of people. I am not scared. It’s mostly because I don’t know the people. But when I do know a person that is watching me or hearing me that I don’t feel comfortable around. I get very nervous that sometimes I will blank out. But when I dance in front of people I know I don’t blank out I just can’t stop smiling. But when I am talking that’s when I start to blank out. Not lots of people know that abut me. Probably only my best friends and family know that. Mostly my older brother knows because he is kinda the same. When he is with people like me and his friends. he is more open and talkative. But when he is with people he doesn’t really know he does talk just not as much. So if you really knew me you would know that I am very shy in public but talkative with people I am comfortable with.

 

If you are a dancer. It is important that you also know some advanced dance moves. Even if you are level 1. You should a little bit of some level 2 or 3 moves. So if you want to move up. Show your teacher all the practicing and hard work you have put for these advanced moves. So if you want to do that. Then here 5 advanced moves.

• Reverse Switch Leaps.                                                                                                            Reverse switch leaps is a leap that you do in the air. It is a switch leap mixed with a reverse leap. How you do it: First you do a chasse ( put your right leg in front. Then your left leg reaches you right leg than your right leg moves forward) You do that once. Then you do 2 steps and you put your right leg out and then you switch to a left leg leap. By turning your body the other way and lifting your right leg to the ceiling. And your left leg goes diagonal to the ground.
• Ice Skating Turns                                                                                                                     Ice skating turns a turn. You need a lot of force, but also control. If you don’t have control you will fall on the ground. How you do it: You do a double turn with your leg in passe ( You put 1 leg up. And put your foot where your knee is on the other foot. Then you turn) Then you slowly bring the foot from passe down to coupe ( 1 foot goes to your ankle. Your knee should be facing the side) You do as much turns as you can. But while you are turning in coupe, you bring your arms up all the way above your head. And they should be connected with each other.
• Ring leap                                                                                                                                     Ring leap is a leap but you stay in place. The reverse switch leap you travel. This leap you stay in place. How you do it: Your in fifth position and you do a plie (Your right heel is touching your left foot. Then you bend your legs) Then you leap. Your right leg reaches diagonal to the ground. And your left leg is a little bent and you arch your back. And your leg is up in the air.
• Lay Out                                                                                                                                       A Lay Out is almost the splits in the air. But instead of both your legs up in the air. Only 1 leg is. This is how you do it: You have your right leg on the ground completely straight. Your left leg goes up in the air. Now you have to arch your back like you are doing a back bend but don’t put your hands on the ground. Then your leg should go up higher. And it should be in a straight line or past a straight line. Witch would be a over split lay out.
  • Pitch                                                                                                                                 

A pitch is the center spits but almost in the air. Its almost like a lay out. But instead it’s in your center splits. Not your side splits. This is how you do it: You keep your left leg on the ground. and your right leg is up. Now you have to lean the way your leg is facing. Then you grab your right leg and pull it towards you. While you are leaning sideways.

These are advanced moves. If you don’t get it in the beginning. That is fine. You just have to keep practicing.  Sorry that my spelling for the french jazz/ballet words might be spelled wrong.  What do you think would be the easiest for you?
