Naughty Sammy pps 5-End

A sudden “riii-biiit” from beside him, startled him so dreadfully, that he gave a yelp and leaped forward.

L... appeared behind him and giggled.

“Silly Sammy, it's only a frog!” she laughed.

Together they wandered through the bushes looking for the ball.

L... soon spotted it and carried it back to the path.

She turned to throw it to Sammy, but he wasn't there.

She looked in the bushes and all around the garden, but she couldn't find him anywhere.

She looked high, and she looked low- but still, no Sammy.

Where could that naughty puppy be?

Feeling a little worried and very thirsty from her exertions, she returned to the picnic table to get a drink- and THEN she spotted him.

There was Sammy, on TOP of the table eating the rest of L...'s lunch!

“BAD DOG! NAUGHTY Sammy!” L... scolded him, as she made him get down.

Needless to say, Sammy was in disgrace the rest of the day!

Naughty Sammy pps 3 and 4

Grandad threw the ball for Sammy while L... was eating some lunch at the picnic table outside.
One time he threw it too hard and it landed in the bushes.

Sammy followed after it, squeezing through the leaves until he was quite lost from sight.
Inside the bushes, it was dark and damp, and Sammy began to feel rather scared.

I'm working on a small picture book of Mum's dog, he is great fodder for stories because he is so naughty!
It's for DD's birthday because she loves the stories we have told her about him- true AND made up ;)

Once there was a naughty puppy called Sammy, who was always getting into trouble.

Sammy belonged to the Nanny and Grandad of a little girl named L..., who loved to go and see him.
