Guess what our big news is today? Our birthday is in 12 days! Wahooo! Then we are going to be 11! IMAGINE! I am going to bowling with 4 friends and Pippa. I have a long list of things that I want. Mom doesn’t buy them all. Only what she can afford. But she does her best. After bowling I am going to Panarotti for pizza. I love pizza. It is my most favourite food in the whole world. Only you can never eat pizza near to Slobberdog because he will take it away from you for sure. It is also HIS favourite food, especially the bacon one. If we are having pizza for a meal, he tries to find an open door somewhere and keeps coming in. He likes to go straight to the toddlers table because they are small and his best victims.

I am going to Spur. We are going to have lots of fun. I am also taking 4 friends and my Mom will be the river. I will be taking West, my 'uncle', Thabang and Erin my brothers, and Amy my sister.

On the 29th of May our friend, Belinda Peters is throwing a Soccer Ball. Then I will be singing on stage. The Soccer Ball is not a Soccer Ball, but a Soccer Dance. It’s usually called the Spring Ball, or the Winter Ball, but because of the World Cup, Belinda is calling it the Soccer Ball, which is very cool!
This year I am going to sing “The Boy Who Has Everything!”. My Mom loves to hear me singing that song. She says I have a real good voice.
Well, I also have a very good voice. Last year I sang “We Are The Young”. Shoshanna taught it to me. But I was very nervous and coughed. Mom said, not to worry, it was only stage fright. But my big sister, Pippa, says I should not sing on stage this year because I embarrassed her. I am very sad, but it’s okay. My brother should have the spotlight this year.Belinda has asked us all to make flags of the countries that are playing in the World Cup. I am choosing Chile. My brother, Kieran is choosing America.
KAY
I chose America because I have a lot of great friends in America. Alicia, Sallie, But I have much more friends in England. Becky Johnson, Hannah Johnson, Pippa Hartridge, Mairi, Hannah Clarke, Hannah Dobson, Lucy Dobson. Actually we have friends all over the world. I can’t remember all their names right now. But there is also Travaughna and Taqueesha. They are in Canada. We love them so very much. They are like our big sisters. By the way, Travaughna, we did get your beautiful parcel and we loved everything in it. And Mom says you have become FOLLOWERS on our blog. That's so cool!
JAY
Actually, I don’t think I will go to the Soccer Ball this year.
KAY
Well, I will pray to God that JAY will come.
JAY
OK. I will try my best to come then. I might help my brother if he makes a mistake or coughs and gets stage fright. So I should be there I suppose.
My Mom had an Afghan Hound called Gandalf the Grey. He was grey. She loved him so much. But the problem was he was biting our visitors. We tried everything. We tied him up. We locked him up at Postinia. But Afghans are very disobedient dogs and he always got out of his punishment. Finally he started biting Mommy’s poor people and she got very cross with Gandalf. She loves her poor people with all her heart. When she used to shout at Gandalf, Slobberdog used to shout at him too, and bark and growl at him.
One day Gandalf bit the milkman and the milkman was very angry and told Mommy he was going to tell the Police. So Mommy promised him that she would do something about it that same day. She decided to take him to the vet and put him down. She had tried many things, even putting up adverts and asking friends to find a new home for him. But nobody wants a dog that bites.
Then all the other dogs; Khali the poodle, Basher the Sausage Dog, Dakota the Alsation and Sasko the Pyrenean Mountain Dog, all got on the bakkie too. They would not get off because Slobberdog is their leader.
So they all went to the vet. They waited on the bakkie and the bad thing was done to Gandalf. Mommy cried and cried all the way home. She locked herself in her bedroom for two days and cried. We all felt very sad. Actually, even while we are telling this story right now our hearts are very sore.
KAY
Yes, very sore. And when that happened, I was very confused. I thought everybody was lying because Mom would never ever kill Gandalf. But then I found out it was the truth because Mommy admitted it. I was so disappointed and depressed. I loved Gandalf too much. Even if he bit people I don’t think he should have been killed. If I had my own house I would have taken him and been his owner. But now it’s too late. It's really true. Slobberdog knows things.
Actually, I don’t think I will go to the Soccer Ball this year.
KAY
Well, I will pray to God that JAY will come.
JAY
OK. I will try my best to come then. I might help my brother if he makes a mistake or coughs and gets stage fright. So I should be there I suppose.
SLOBBERDOG KNOWS THINGS
My Mom had an Afghan Hound called Gandalf the Grey. He was grey. She loved him so much. But the problem was he was biting our visitors. We tried everything. We tied him up. We locked him up at Postinia. But Afghans are very disobedient dogs and he always got out of his punishment. Finally he started biting Mommy’s poor people and she got very cross with Gandalf.

She decided to take him to the vet and put him down. She had tried many things, even putting up adverts and asking friends to find a new home for him. But nobody wants a dog that bites.
So Mommy called Rhys (our biggest brother) and asked him to take her to the vet with Gandalf. She didn’t think she could drive home after he was put down. She was crying when she got Gandalf in the bakkie. When Slobberdog saw that she was crying, he jumped on the bakkie with Gandalf. He knew that something bad was happening.
Then all the other dogs; Khali the poodle, Basher the Sausage Dog, Dakota the Alsation and Sasko the Pyrenean Mountain Dog, all got on the bakkie too. They would not get off because Slobberdog is their leader.
So they all went to the vet. They waited on the bakkie and the bad thing was done to Gandalf. Mommy cried and cried all the way home. She locked herself in her bedroom for two days and cried. We all felt very sad. Actually, even while we are telling this story right now our hearts are very sore.
