C is for Ceilidh

When I was seven years old my family got a my dog Ceilidh. I wasn't planning on getting a dog although my family did talk about it. I always wanted a dog because I had a cat but having a very independent at the age of seven isn't the best.
 
Anyways, when my grandmother first got sick my dad would go up to Georgian Bay to visit her. Well one time when my dad went up he decided to visit my great aunt and see how she was doing. My great aunt had lot's of dogs in the past but since she was getting old she decided that her knew golden retriever shouldn't have to live with someone who couldn't take care of her probably.

When he walked up to her house she was on a phone call. It was to a family who wanted the dog but couldn't make it up to georgian Bay. Well my great is pretty particular, so she didn't stand this and made them understand that she meant business. She did make an acceptation because she knew they were a good family.

As my dad knocked on the door she just hung up the phone and ran for the door. My dad and her talked for a bit when my dad mentioned that I was in this whole state were I liked acting like a dog in rebelliousness against not having a dog. This made her laugh but it also made her think. "Why don't you take ceilidh if they don't come tomorrow." My dad was a little hesitant at first but knew it would make everyone happy. 

Well guess what... they didn't come so the next day my family and I all drove up to Georgian Bay and got Ceilidh. 

Well thats now we got ceilidh but to this day Ceilidh has been the best dog ever. As she is getting old at the age of seven I wonder what I would do without her. All that time I've spent playing with her and cheering her up. Also a the time she has spent with me cheering me up. All I can say is she doesn't bite she doesn't beg she doesn't bark. Even if she did she would still be perfect. 

Life lesson: Dog is mans best friend but man will always be dogs best friend forever. That is what makes friendship.

S is for summer

Every year since I was seven I go to a camp called South Muskoka Sailing School.( SMSC for short.)
SMSC stared when the Muskoka Environmental comity was given a large plot of and decided to make it a camp. Which became SMSC. SMSC is run by teenager who are rather irresponsible but that made it super fun.

There is nothing much to the landscape except the fact that there is an area for the picnic tables in a circle so that announcements could be made. There are two docks on in the back and one in the front. The back one is very public and large so its not the best for just hanging out. Thats why we have the back deck for. Its much smaller and has a lot of sun so its really great. Another area is were we keep the sail boats. When I first came there were only a few sail boats but now we have so many that if you had to put the proper amount of people in each boat there wouldn't be anybody standing\ not in a boat.

You can start going when you are six turning seven or seven already. When that year came I was so excited. My brother had been going to the camp for two years and I had to stay home at my cottage or go to a stupid craft camp. Not fun.

The day that I started was the best day ever! It was super awesome because I knew every one from my stupid craft camp. I guess it kind of paid off, only kind of. Most of the people who have been there for at least three years have a nickname. Like my brother just last summer got the nickname Rob because two people now had the name Liam, and one was an instructor so he had to get one. One time, when they went to a sailing Regatta they registered him as Rob Roberts. Of course the lady at the registry didn't believe him and made him call his parents. They were aware so they just said it was true. (I never thought that they would just lie like that) Last summer was my forth year and i still don't have a nickname but most girls don't have one ( no reason)

I love my sailing school but when the end of the summer comes I always wish that it wouldn't come, even though I miss my school friends I don't like leaving all my friends. Its hard but I live. My least favorite part is when I try to tell my friends and they just seem so board like they don't care. Of course if the were talking to me about there summer I would do the same but I wish they could live through it to sometimes.

Well anyways,Life lesson: friends can be nice, friends can be mean but no matter what once a friend is a friend they will never not be.

B is for best, best friend that is, and who is that? Emma Hennessey. Emma may not be the perfect best friend who will listen to you help you with your problem. Shes probably the opposite because shes loud and doesn't always have the best answers for your question. Still she will forever (hopefully) remain my best friend.

Emma and I met in grade 4. I had been at the school for six years and Emma was new so I thought it would be smart to show her around the school. At that time I was best friends with Libby but it soon ended as Emma and I came closer and Libby and I came Farther apart.

At first we took a long time to really get to know each other but there was one day that we really became BFF's for life. It was the day in grade four art when we got to make sculptures. Emma and i both had this crazy thing for webkinz even though now there super lame. So anyways we sculpted our favorite webkinz, and we just bonded really well. The next thing you now we're best friends. It's funny how things can just happen like that isn't it.

Emma and I may be super tight today but we weren't always. In grade six we went through some tough separation times. Wow it sounds like an cheesy romance book. Well anyways I noticed Emma started to be a little immature so I kind of started to avoid her and hang around new people but it didn't last long. Soon enough we were friends again.

Emma and I seem to be very different yet so similar. We both love singing and are very competitive. Were different because she loves horses and riding and I love skiing ,and sailing. Although we still didn't dislike each others hobby's.

Emma and I have been friends for so long and have so much to loose if we don't become friends anymore but no matter what happens i know we'll stay tight its just the way we role!
