Put that Down!

Today, as you all know, is the last day of the summer vacation, and my sisters and I have a tradition of making the last day of the summer one of the best. Every year on the day before the first day of school, we celebrate what we call Baseball Day. That doesn't mean that we have to spend the day playing baseball, although we always do some in the morning, but it really is just a day on which to have lots of fun and forget about the fact that school starts the next day. We spent the day with Sachi, and did many fun things. At one point, Sachi and Rebecca created a plush galaxy and named it Zwicky. After that, we walked over to Cabot Park and sat on some monkey bars, and talked, enjoying the late afternoon. There were also many dogs running around the field. Suddenly, a dog ran by Sachi's bag and picked something out, running away with it. The dog's owner was saying, "Put that down! It's not yours." The dog had taken Zwicky! Marianne said, "Oh, no." We watched for awhile, grins forming across our faces. It was so funny. Soon, the owner got Zwicky and returned it to us, appologizing. We just laughed. It turned out that Zwicky was not damaged, although it had some dog saliva on it and a few pieces of dirt.
