          My three favorite posts are My Cat Bow,  My Dog Misty and  Shadow.

          The post that best reflects my creativity is TTH Project , I was making up what happened to the old man as I was writing it and it shows creativity.
          The post that shows evidence of my growth as a writer is My Cat Bow. Before I wrote this story, my writing wasn't as good as it is now. When I revised this story it made the writing better and now I always revise my writing.
          The post that has proof that I am a thinker is My Dog Misty. In the last paragraph, I had to try to remember what my dad said because I wasn't there with him to have her be put down.

Shadow

I have a cat named Shadow and he is my sisters cat. We got him on Christmas Eve about 4 or 5 years ago. He was my sisters Christmas present. She was so happy to get him. She decided to name him Shadow. We have had him since he was a kitten. Shadow is my second favorite cat that I have.

    Shadow is black and white. He has white on his neck, stomach, and at the bottom of his feet. He is a really playful cat and he runs after strings all the time. He also loves jewelry, he takes it out of my room and runs downstairs with it because he knows that i'm going to try to get it from him. Then he finally drops it. Shadow and Bow always mess around with each other. They are almost always with each other. Shadow also sleeps on my bed, most of the time during the day, but sometimes he will at night. He also loves popcorn. Whenever someone makes some, he runs into the room and stands beside them, rubbing his head on them to beg for some.
    Shadow is another great pet that I have and its fun having him around. Shadow comes to the door with Bow to great me when I come home. He is my second favorite cat because Bow is my first favorite. I hope to have Shadow for a long time.

My dog Misty

I used to have a dog named Misty. My mom and dad got her about two years before I was born. She was my dad's dog but they got her because my mom wanted to keep her. About a year ago we had to put her down because she couldn't get around the house very well. She was also deaf. When my dad took her to the vet to put her down they said that she had cancer and that it was the right time to put her down. Misty lived to be fourteen years old.

Misty was a Siberian Husky. She was black and white with blue eyes. Every time someone came to the door, if she was in the backyard she would stand still as if she was frozen, drop her head down almost touching the ground, and look right into their eyes. If they looked like they would be a threat she would show her teeth and growl at them. People soon got scared to come to our house. When we are at the front door with it opened she would sneak up behind us and when were not paying attention to if she was behind us or not she will run out the door. Misty was a very sneaky dog. She hates thunder and whenever there was a storm she would stay beside my dad and follow him everywhere. One night we had a storm and my dad wasn’t there so Misty stayed beside me the whole time. I was her second favorite person. She loved running around in the backyard especially when it was cold and she loved car rides.

The day when my dad went to get her put down came and we were all depressed the whole day. I was upset for about two weeks. Misty got to have her last car ride that day and was really happy. She licked my dads face almost the whole ride. We all loved her so much and she was my favorite dog. I will always remember her and after having her as a dog, Siberian Huskies are my favorite breed of dog.
