This week the children have been writing diary entries based on the story they have been reading, Diary of a Lively Labrador.

Dear Diary, 

Today, I woke up feeling anxious.  Everyday that blimin dog jumps up at me and makes me drop all my letters. I have to spend five minutes picking up all the letters and putting them in the correct order AGAIN - fun hey!

I arrived nervously at the house at 7.30 this morning and thought ‘I dont want to do this!’  I thought about throwing the envelopes on the doorstep and running off quick. 

The dog's owner came out the door and shouted, “Good morning, thanks for the post.”  

I shouted back  cheerfully, “ That's ok, have a lovely day!”  I muttered quietly to myself, ‘I hate that big ugly dog.’  

I then heard the Owner shout, “Boof Head, NOOOOOOO! Come back here this instant!”

I remember clearly that the stupid dog took no notice and ran as fast as he could towards me, bouncing all over the place. 

“Dont do it!  Don't do it!.... Please don't lick me!  It was too late, I was on the floor in a pool of slobber! I hate that dog.  It's starting to annoy me that this happens every day. I keep writing the same thing everyday in this diary.  I think i might have to give up being a postman as i can't handle the slobber!

On Monday I started my round as usual, I was starting to worry about the delivery to number 9. There is a bonkers dog who always leaps up onto me and covers me in brown, sticky mud!

I approached the door with fear but remained brave and rang the bell. At first things looked okay, the lovely lady who lives there came to the door and there was no sign of the monster!

“I have your milk … aaaaaggggghhhhhh!” I screamed, the monster had appeared! I have to say the lady tries hard to grab the monster, but she never manages it before he leaps past and directly at me!

“I’m so sorry about Boof head, he is just so excited to see you” “. Inside now you stupid dog, honestly you are such a pain!” ( If the same speaker is carrying on to a second sentence, you just use a full stop and put the 99 right at the end of both sentences.)

Inside my head I was actually thinking, yes he is a pain and you need to put him on a lead, however she did look sorry and it isn’t really her fault her dog is out of control, so I said “ oh ha ha, don’t worry about it, it’s nice that someone is pleased to see me!”

After that her face changed and she looked less worried “Lovely weather we’re having ” she pointed out.

“Much nicer for me ” I replied. “It’s a bit of pain delivering in the rain, much prefer the sunshine!”

Tuesday was a much better day, for a start I didn’t have a delivery to number 9 so the monster couldn’t pounce on me! Then I remembered,  I did have a drop off at number 16 and the kind lady there always gives me a piece of her homemade cake, which is usually mouth wateringly delicious .,  as expected it was! lemon drizzle isn’t really my favourite but this was no ordinary lemon drizzle. “It’s not my best effort ” she said, well if that wasn’t her best effort I can’t imagine how scrumptious that would be.

“A total delight as always ” I cheerily shouted in response.

After my round,  I was feeling full of cake so decided to go for a walk in the park. It was another lovely day so I thought I would make the most of it. I was just about to drop off for a little snooze when I heard a big commotion, I looked up, just at the wrong moment and who should leap out of the pond dripping wet and land directly on my lap……. the monster! Thinking about it, maybe Tuesday wasn’t such a good day after all. I hope Wednesday is better, full of sunshine and wet dog free.

Diary of the milkman.

I was driving along in my milk-float, with all the bottles in the back jingling merrily! All my bottles were sectioned off into full-fat, semi-skimmed and skimmed milk. A little boy ran across the road right in front of me so that i had to use my brakes in a way that meant a row of bottles fell over, like dominoes, and they smashed! Luckily they were just back up milk, but i would have to be careful not to spill any more!

I called over to the boy and shouted at him “Watch where you are going!”

“Sorry!” the boy called back.

I got out of my van at number 88 and I braced myself for I knew what was coming!

I took the milk out that I would need and began to walk towards the steps. Just as I was about to open the door, the dog came running out! He bounced up on me and I had to begin to juggle the milk bottles. 

 “Bravo!” The owner of the labrador shouted.

I lost my concentration and I dropped the milk on the labrador’s head! He looked up in shock and ran back inside, really scared!

The owner chuckled, “Don't worry, I only need one pint of milk anyway!”

The rest of the round was a bit more successful and there were no more lively labradors!
