I have the cutest Little puppy. Her name is Buffy. She is not actually a puppy, Buffy just looks like one because she is a Yorkie-poo, and they don't grow big at all. The tallest they get is up to 10 inches and they weigh under 10 lbs, which is not very big at all.
We got Buffy when she was a new born puppy, it was on my sister, Taryn's, birthday, the 21st of July. We bought Buffy during the time we were visiting Canada for summer, so we had to bring her back to Dubai.
I was out with my grandmother, and i had no clue that we were getting a dog.
When i got back from my grandmother's i saw her sitting on the couch and she came running to me as fast as she could, which was not very fast. I remember when she jumped up onto my legs and i said to my mom, " i don't like her..." but then my mom interrupted me thinking i was finished and she gasped in surprise and said, " you don't like her?!," but i had no time to correct her. About 6 years later i told my mom that i was not finished talking, and that i was trying to say that i don't like it when she jumps up on to me, but i love my dog very much.
Buffy is 6 years old now but she is still as energetic as a puppy. She is a very well behaved dog and is definitely a people person. Buffy is a princess she dislikes it a lot when other dogs disrespect her. Buffy is Perfect in every way for my family and i love her Very much!

B is for Brenna's life (short version)
My name is Brenna. I was born on October 7th 1997 at 2 am in Groves Memorial hospital in Fergus.
When I was 3 months old I met my best friend, Rachel. We met by our Fathers, they both started working for the same airline and became friends, and so did Rachel and I. We are still as close as ever today, and literally know everything about each other.
I was 2 years old when I moved to Dubai, so did Rachel. I first went to school at Jumeriah Primary School. I left that school half way through Junior Kindergarden. After that I started at Dess for my other half of J.K., and I stayed there until I finished grade 1. My last school in Dubai was E.C.P.S, English Collage Primary School, I was there for grade 2 and grade 3. That was my favorite school because I had a lot of fun there.
After 6 and a half years in Dubai. We moved back Canada. I started at a school named S.J.K, in grade 4. I was very shy and not used to, "Canadian schooling," but I met a very kind girl who misunderstood me and thought my name was Brenda, and she thought I said I was from China. Emilie taught me many things, like how to use a water fountain, because surprisingly all the schools I went to in Dubai didn't have any of them. She helped me make friends and she became my best friend in Canada. Emilie and I are best buddies. This school has been the school that i have stayed the longest at, and I am very happy about that.
Now I am still in Canada and I am very happy!

S is for my sisters
I have 3 sisters (not including me), their names are Janine, Taryn, and Josie.
My favorite sister is Janine, she is also the oldest, she is 19, and will be 20 in October. She is my favorite sister because she is kind and caring to me. Everyone calls us 2 peas in a pod. We are also both born in October, and we both have dark hair. She goes to the University of Carleton, it is in Ottawa. She has a lot of fun there and she loves it a lot. I miss her a lot when she is at school because she is so wonderful, and takes me everywhere. One of my most favorite days with her was when I was 7 and she was 14, she took me to the movies with her friends, and it was a lot of fun, she bought me a lot of things, I had a great time, and the movie was good too.
Taryn is the second oldest. She is nothing like Janine, she is more random, crazy, and outgoing. She is likely the one to be found at theme parks and so on. Now that she is old enough to drive, she is 17 turning 18 in July, she has a car, and so she drives us to school, and when she says ,"lets go," she means it, and if you don't come right that minute, you are blamed for making everyone being late. She is also very strict about thing left in her car. Sometimes she has friends in her car, and they always leave garbage behind, so then she blames Josie and I for it and tells us to take it out. I have learned to not say anything like ," that not mine, maybe it might be one of your friends garbage," but no no, she doesn't care about that, Taryn just want to her car clean, and doesn't want to clean it herself. But Taryn is very funny, and she is very fun.
And the youngest is Josie. She is 10 years old and 11 in July. This is ironic as well because I already said that Janine and I have dark hair and the same birth month, well, Taryn and Josie both have brown hair and are both born in July. Josie is the only one out of all of my sisters and me that has blue eyes, the rest of us have brown. Everyone asks ," if she is 10 then why is she in grade 6, well when we lived in Dubai, the schools were British schools, and British schools start kids a year early, so instead of starting J.K. when you are 4, you start when you are 3. She is very annoying, but can also be a lot of fun too. She is also funny, and when she gets laughing she cant stop. I love having her as a little sister most times, but sometimes she can really get on my nerve's, but don't all little siblings, so I have to put up with it; and hopefully sooner than later she will mature and stop stealing thing from my room!
Then there is me! I am actually older than Josie, but I Thought I should write about her first, since it is about my sisters. My name is Brenna, and I am 12 years old turning 13 in October. I have dark brown hair and brown eyes, And i love my sister no matter what!

my alphbography
O is for October
October was the month is was born in . I was born on October 7th 1997. I like the day i was born because it is close to thanksgiving and so it is pretty cool. The only thing i don't like about October is that it is cold, wet, and damp, and i didn't grow up living with the coldness, the wetness, or the dampness, so i am still not used to it, and that is why i really don't like October.
I have a lot of family members that are born in October, and they are all pretty much really close together, except mine. For example, my oldest sisters birthday is the 24th of October, and my Grandmothers is the 25th of October.
October was the 8th month in the early roman calender, and 8 happens to be my favorite number, and it is the 10th month in the calender we use today, and the birthday i remember the most is when i turned 10. When i woke up the morning of my 10th birthday, i was so exited and i was going around saying," i am now a decade old!"
Every month has a ,"birth flower," and Octobers is a Calendula or a cosmos. these flowers mean joy and modesty. A Calendula is a orange peachy colour and a cosmos is bright pink. The only thing i can think of comparing these flowers to personal thing is that pink is my second favorite colour.
Again every month has a ,"birth stone," Octobers is opal. The colours of an opal stone are White, red, pink, violet and blue. I have a little piggy bank that is a pig, that i got when i was a baby, and when i was born people put there blessings into it, and on the back of it, it has the opal rock and it says the meaning of it too.

I didn't know what to expect when i first came into the chapel and i saw the first picture on the projector. I was talking to Kate we were both trying to figure out what the speech was about. Then when she started talking, i knew it would be a moving speech, and i was interested to learn more about the Holocaust,a from a lady, that actually experienced it.
Eva Olsson was born and grew up in Hungry until she was 19. They were all ready living in the ghetto, with her entire family. Then the Nazi soldiers came in and told her family that they were being moved to a different country to work in a brick factory. So they got moved and that's when Eva Olsson's horrible experience began.
When Eva started to talk about the word hate, and how that word started the Holocaust, i suddenly felt bad that i had used that word so much in my life, and then i realized why when i was young, my mom had always tried to get me not to say the word hate, and now i know why. I understood what she was saying, and how that did start the Holocaust. Eva Olsson was saying that because of hate she had her whole family taken away from her.
When Eva stopped talking about her experiences, she would give us tips on how to behave and how to treat someone. Some of them were to not be any kind of a bystander, because you are just as guilty as the bully, to always once and a while tell your family members that you love them, and don't drink and drive.
Eva Olsson had her entire family killed, but she still found a husband when the war was over, She had kids, and was starting a new life, but suddenly, she lost her husband, to a drinking driver. She was used to this, but not with someone she loved so much, and not by this accident.
Eva taught us all that we have to be brave to survive, and we have to have pain in your memories, to be alive.

what i thought about the day at norval!
At first i thought that it would be kind of boring, and i thought i wouldn't like it all. But once we got to our first activity, and we started it, it actually was fun. We had to lay logs into little grooves in the next tree stump for us to be able to cross over. In the end we had to be all the way across at the other side.To get there you weren't aloud to touch the ground. In this activity me and Hayley had to cling on to each other to stand on a little tree stump together, we both got across, and were the first ones to get there. There was a rope on the side you were on when you had finished, and you could use that rope for whatever you wanted. I thought of an idea to use the rope like a hand rail, it worked very well, until it touched the ground three times. I learned that even when your done and have succeeded you can still help out from the other side, and it helps the whole team.
Our second activity was called "the kings finger,"when we got to the activity spot, it looked simple,you had to get the tire (that was at the bottom of a large pole) off of the pole, but the pole was tall! So first we got someone up, with people holding his feet, but it didn't work because, the people holding his feet started falling backwards. So we tried again, With Thomas on the pole some people holding him up. After a little while, he finally got high enough and pushed the tire off the top of the pole.
But because we did it so quick, our group leader told us to find a way to put the tire back on the pole. Now we had to choose a person to put it back on, it was between Jamie, and me. We picked Jamie, because she was taller. We did that very quick again! That was a tough activity, we all had a role, and we were all involved. I think our group needed everyone that was there, and it was cool to see how everyone found a position and role, without even saying a word to each other. Then, when we were all in our spots, we started to get Jamie up, and get the tire back on the pole. Once we got it on, we couldn't just let go, Jamie had to hold the tire up, so it didn't fall on anyone, and the supporting people had to lower her down slowly.
Our Group finished activity 2 so fast, we played another game, i can't remember what it was called, but we had to get a ball passed from each of our hands, to another persons, in the shortest amount of time that we possibly get. First we started to throw the ball to each other from a circle, and it took more than 30 seconds. After that, ideas were being noticed, and we started to move closer. We still had a slow time. Our group was talking about our ideas, then someone came up with the idea of standing in a straight line, and passing the ball to each other. We thought that was pretty quick, because we had got a time of 4.5 seconds. Then we decided to put our hands together in a ramp so the ball could roll down faster than actually passing it to each other. After many attempts, we finally got it to work, and got a time of 1.Something, we were very happy. Until Eric came up with the idea of just one of our fingers in a ramp, rather than our hands. That gave us a time of 0.36 seconds (i think)! That was a great time, and also made me feel happy that we could all organize it and do it very well, and not with any debates or arguments.
In conclusion, this day did help and show me how well we can work together, and I never would of thought that our group could do the activities so well, and work together so well.

I do and dont think that clothes shape the man!
I do and don't think that clothes shape a person!
Some people dress in a style they love,for example, somebody might wear a shirt that says,"i love dogs", and in person, they might actually love dogs.they might dress in all designer clothes, because they love designer clothes!
But i don't think clothes shape a person because someone might be so nice, but you don't know it because they wear black leather or scary shoes! People could have a giant difference between how they dress, from the way they act and their personality.
The reasons i thinks this way because of the phrase"people aren't always what they this is the seem",but i also think, sometimes they are exactly what they seem! I don't think you should judge a person on what they wear until you get to know them, but if your sitting on a bench in a city, and happen to see a funny dressed person, and don't go up to that random person to have a friendly chat with them, you may think that they are weird, and maybe a bit blind when it comes to picking out what to wear! But keep in mind that ,that one person may be really nice, or really mean, or a trouble maker,and a million other personalities, or maybe their exactly what you guessed them to be!
This is why i think the clothes do and don't shape the man!
