JoJo Visits Riley's Home

Today after I got home, Jo-Jo met my dogs, Taz and Goober. Jo-Jo wanted to ride Goober. I put him in his back pack and strapped him in and he had a blast. Some times he got scared but he still had fun.

Then we went out and played basketball. Jo-Jo made one basket. He then got hit by the ball and had to sit out a while. He was back in again and made a slam dunk! He probably jumped up about 5 feet!

After we played basketball, he played in the dog house. Taz and Jo-Jo lay down and fell asleep for awhile. I had to wake him up because he was asleep.

After he took a nap, we did some football practice. Jo-Jo made a couple of touch downs. He was so happy! He was so small that I couldn’t touch him, so he won 20 to 12. We played some catch. He couldn’t catch very well for some reason. Then we went in and ate some tuna casserole. Jo-Jo was starving, so he ate like a pig. He ate 4 scoops of it!

That is my day with Jo-Jo. I hope you liked it!

Jo Jo Potato and Anna


When Jo Jo Potato and I were on the bus coming home, everybody thought he was a cute little dog. Katie said that he was a cute little munchkin and she liked his little tongue sticking out.

When we got home, we watched my brother Isaac play cool video games. Jo Jo liked them. After watching my brother play games, we decided to get ready for swim practice.

When we got to swim practice, Jo Jo wanted to sit in the lifeguard chair and he felt like the king of the pool. After swimming lessons, Jo Jo and I did homework. He thought it was confusing, but we got through it.

After home work, we got to do anything we wanted. So then we had a dress up party with funky clothes. He was embarrassed, but he still had fun.

Then we had some fun with my dog Buster. They were friends at first sight. So we got some pictures of them sitting together. They even had a long conversation of barks.

At the end of the day, it was already 9:00. So we brushed our teeth and went to bed.

Good night Jo Jo Potato.

Delaney's Day With Jo-Jo


On Friday I had a good time with Jo-Jo. First we met with my friends Tiana, Shayde and Lorraina. Then we went to my house and practiced some double dutch. Jo-Jo wanted to jump but she couldn’t, she just got tangled up in the ropes! When our practice was over Jo-Jo and I went outside in the backyard and played with my dog Cocoa. All my dog did was sniff Jo-Jo. It wasn’t that fun. Later we went to the school and played basketball. She was too short to make a basket so she watched me for a little bit.

Soon it was almost time for dinner so I had to come home and feed the dog. Cocoa didn’t even come running to her food like she used too. She sat on the stairs and sniffed Jo-Jo. Once I came back onto the deck and took Jo-Jo, she ran to her food. Then we went on the computer and played on cool math.com. Our eyes started to hurt so we went into my room and danced. Jo-Jo didn’t stop moving when the music ended! Later that night we had dinner. For dinner we had a hot dog and an apple. The apple was to big for her to eat so she just had a hot dog. Then I went to bed around ten and Jo-Jo, well, she went to bed right after dinner.
I had an awesome time with my new good friend Jo-Jo!

Jo Jo’s Stay with Lindsay


JoJo and I played with my dog Brandi when we got home. Jo Jo said it was like riding a horse but it was a dog like he is. He loved it but he fell off once. Luckily he is okay. He said it kind of hurt though. He also said it was the best thing he had ever done.
After that he helped me pick a color for my room. He said that he liked the color’s spacious sky (blue) & garden spot (green). It took us a long time to pick a color. But we finally picked two colors. He said that he couldn’t wait to get the answer yes or no from my nana. He was very excited when she said yes.
Then we had dinner. He wanted spaghetti so that’s what he got. He couldn’t eat it all so I had to help him. He said that it was his very best meal ever. He also wanted more for a snack twenty minutes later. Of course I said no because he just ate dinner.
After dinner we watched TV. We watched the fairly odd parents. He sure laughed a lot. He laughed about everything. He loved to watch TV we sat and watched TV for hours and hours.
Then he went to sleep with my dog.
