Freewrite: Sandals

It turns out most of my freewrite’s turn into journal entries, but I found it easier and hopefully more interesting when I write about myself. My current living situation exists of three male room-mates and one playful nine-month old black lab. Sure the dog was fun at first, then it began to eat everything in sight. Lately it’s been playing this game where it grabs something of yours that you need just so you will chase it around the house all day. It was all fun and games until last week. I saw the puppy (Ari) holding my sandal in his mouth trying to start the “see if you can catch me” game. I snapped into angry mode and chased down the dog before he could ruin a pair of my fifty dollar sandals. Thankfully I retrieved the sandal from his mouth and it was not destroyed, only slobbery. Then Ari went into the other room and about ten seconds later returned with my other sandal, torn into three pieces. I was not impressed to say the least. The sole reason a dropped half a hundred on a pair of sandals was so they could take the wear and tear that they would normally get.
