One day, one ordinary day, four kids were on a couch. Just chilling out. Doing absolutely nothing. But then, Mum said “Ok kids, i'm going to take a photo of you chilling on the couch!” Of course, the oldest one, Milly thought something weird was going on. Anyway, Milly smiled at the camera, so did the other kids, Jake, Hailey and Tracey.

Then Hailey whispered back “I do not know. But I think something's going on fo…..” Just before Hailey could finish her sentence, The front door opened. DAD!!! DAD JUST WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR. W-W-WITH……. A DOG! We all jumped up off the couch.

When all the commotion was over, Dad said, guys…. Meet our new dog Paddy. Paddy, was the cutest puppy EVER! They played with him for about 2-3 hours. And.. that's where they are now. That is my Family. The Tucker Family.
