Dogs of Vastness

 

We have been studying Antarctica. We listened to a story about Nanook, a husky who was sent to Antarctica on an expedition in 1901. We then wrote the next chapter of the story from Nanook’s ‘Point of View’. 

As I arise from the sound of howling, I immediately got up to look for my brothers and sisters. I eagerly ran towards them to see what they were up to; Hector was singing his dog songs as usual and Wolf was chasing Fluff. No one bothered to wake up Hercules so he was still sleeping soundly in our shelter

I joined my brothers and sisters. We raced and chased each other, it was loads of fun! Until we were summoned by our guardian. They put us in a harness attached to the dog runs. I remembered two days ago, Hector told is that our pack will go to someplace called Antarctica. Antarctica, I wonder what it's like. Maybe it would have a huge grassy field where I could play, run and lay on. I daydreamed as we were walking to the ship called Destiny. I can't wait to see what adventures we are going to experience.

 I was really excited as we got on the ship that I kept running around and bumping into things. The crewmates laughed and so did Grandma and the others but Hector and one of the crewmen told me off so I quieted down. 

I stared and admired the glistening sea while white cotton balls filled the sky. My team was bickering and playing around while Hercules was asleep. It makes me wonder if he even woke up to get on the ship. I then kept imagining what Antarctica would be like. 

 The cold breeze brushed against my face as my fur swayed along with the cold wind. One of the crewmen yelled, "We're almost there!". My ears twitched and my eyes sparkled as I thought of the adventures that were about to happen and all the things we were going to experience.
