It's Hunting Season
Every year my dad and I, well and my brother but he's in college. So, this year might be different cause my brother won't be with us. He was a huge help but anyways it's hunting season. We always go up to North Dakota over MEA. It's my favorite time of the year. We hunt for ducks and hopefully bring some meat back home. The reason it's my favorite cause it's the feeling i have. We always get up really early like 4:00 in the morning and i get really excited and fully awake. Of course I have some butterflies in my stomach. We ate some donuts and milk before the big day. After that, we get our hunting gear and drive up to the potholes. We try to find the best spot by using the wind, temperature, and look for good hide out. Anyways, we drove up to the pothole and its still dark outside. My dad and I brought all the gear we needed for the day. As we got to our spot, we throw out some duck decoys, we figure it might get duck's attention. So as we waited in the weeds by the water. Here comes my favorite part. The sun starts to come up, it's so beautiful cause in the sky has red and oranges and mostly still black. Its really peaceful and quiet. As the day come we hunt for ducks and start again the next day. I can't wait for Mea this year. It gonna be blast!!!

A Golf Ball
I know this might sound strange. When I try to aim my goal, I am like a golf ball. I'll tell you why. The reason I thought that I am a golf ball because it takes awhile for me to get the hole, a place where my goal is. I may get off track a couple of times but I still have to make in the hole. But the problem is I can't do it myself, that's why I needed my clubs to keep the golf ball moving. Just imagine that clubs are people, every time you swing it give boost to the ball to get closer to the hole. That why I always needed people to encourage me, or boost me. I can't always do it alone. I needed people to swing 2 or more times to get in the hole. Anyways, I always have hoped that the next hole would be par three because it would take less swings and accomplished my goal quicker. When I have completed my golf game, I tried to get the least number of swings on my scorecard. When I play the next golf game, I will improve reaching my goal better. I hope that someday, Tiger Wood would swing me.

My New Puppy.
I just got a new puppy. The puppy is everything extraordinary, it was a perfect puppy. His father was 3 times hunting champion, and his mother was pointer champion. They blended together just perfect. On that day, we got our new puppy, we knew that she would be sad and scared because she just left her parents and her first home in Colorado. Surprising, when she saw us she was excited, she was playful and ready to be in our new home. We loved her right when we saw her eyes. I knew she would be a perfect puppy. Over the weekend, we were with the Rainy, that our puppy's new name, anyways we were with her for 24/7. We played with her and trained her. She was very smart for a puppy because she learned how to sit, heal, not to bite, to go to the bathroom outside and lastly her name. I was impressed. She learned all of that in a weekend but later she will need to learn how to be a hunting dog. I can't wait to find out what Rainy can do more in the future. Rainy is our best dog we ever had and I am thankful for that.

Blog expectation
My name is Danny Laughlin. This is my super cool blog, which i will personalize and make my own(but not post pics of myself on or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of English language. The expectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on texts that i am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, Internet articles, television shows, trip to museums, etc. Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am Wednesday. Therefore, Q1 due dates are: 9/17, 9/24, 10/1 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, 10/29. That makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 points per quarter and are graded holistically (That means there will be no specific grading rubric). I also understand that blogging is a significant of my quarter grade. By the way, what I have just typed is only 196 words! Now it is 200!
