various pics i took over xmas break

I had been planning it for some time but I wanted to take Kate and onyesha her the legendary ice caves above Crystal Lake. This frozen cave stays frozen mwaka round even in the hottest months of July and August when temperatures reach 90 to 100 degrees. It was about a 7 mile hike from the parking area and would take most of the siku to do, for Kate it would be easy but it is a different story for me.
"You will like this place Kate trust me," I assured her while packing supplies into the Bronco. I opened the passenger door for her.
"Get in," Kate leaped in.
I got in and before starting the Bronco I...

I had been debating whether au not to take Kate to school with me and finally decided on bringing her with me. There was only a few weeks left and than summer would arrive signaling my freedom and my inayopendelewa season. In the morning we showered together and I helped Kate wash all the places she could not reach. After that we hoped into my Bronco and went to Macdonald’s and grabbed some delicious breakfast Mcmuffins and hashbrowns.
"Now Kate I don't hardly like anyone in this school other than my 2 Marafiki so just don't speak to anyone, give no reason for people to tempt me. wewe are so beautiful...

"This thing is cool!" Zach exclaimed about the pocket sized squirt gun he managed to snatch from a bratty kid who had tried to squirt him with it. We were headed back to the parking lot to get Kate and Stormy and go elsewhere.
"Dude wewe better not squirt me with that au else!" I joked with him. We were now getting closer to the parking lot; I looked toward the young mti where Kate and Stormy should have been waiting. They were not there; fear welled up inside me, any traces of humor immediately was gone....

Author's note this one picks up right where part 7 left off*

"Kate wake up sweetheart it's almost time for school!" I had been woken kwa the alarm clock but Kate managed to sleep through it.
"Hmm? Morning already?" Kate yawned lazily stretching out the words.
"So glad it's finally Friday woo hoo!" I exclaimed.
"We got to hussle though; it is 7 already and we still need to shower, there won't be time for breakfast."
"Okay I'm up!" Kate jumped off the kitanda and stretched, I quickly made it up nicely. Throwing my pajamas under my pillows and going into the bathroom, Kate on my heels. We quickly showered...

*Author's note: This entire chapter is told from Buddy's point of view to let wewe know! It takes place a little while after Part 9 happened*

Several weeks had gone kwa since Jon had brought nyumbani a brown/cream-colored mbwa mwitu that he called "Kate". Buddy had been quite disgusted about the whole idea of it. He had lived with Jon and his father Paul for zaidi than 3 years now, he himself was now 7 years old.
All through those 3 years he and Jon could never come to a agreement who was superior to the other. Jon was convinced he was, of course, but Buddy had always taken to Jon's father anyway. But even...

*Author's note-this picks up right where LWK part 13 ended, only a few hours later*

"Jon! Jon, wake up!"
I could hear Kate's voice but was still not all the way awake yet. I felt her paws on my chest and she began to shake me.
"Not now Kate, we can have fun later..." I mumbled still partially in my sleep. Now I could feel her nose near my ear, I could sense her mouth opening and about to close..."Ouch!" Kate bit me on the ear! Now I was awake. I glared at her irritatedly, "what is with you?" I saw the fear in her eyes just then.
"Jon there's something out there! Something in the trees, I heard...

*author's note: the camping trip is now over, this is written to pick up the pace of my stories a bit, still the most exciting part has yet to come!*

When the camping trip ended; the Airstream unpacked at home, the usual routine resumed. Now since school was out I went to work full time at the store. For 3 days I would work a full 8 saa shift. The money was much better but I still needed zaidi to save for college.
I landed a job with one of dad's old Marafiki who was also a part time mason. A man named Tim, he like my dad was older and had a bad back too. I worked at that job for 2 days...

*Author's note: another chapter told from Buddy's point of view*

The inayofuata morning Buddy took off exploring. Buddy was searching for beavers. They had constructed a new dam downstream from where the old one that he had plunged into the awali spring was. He came upon the newly constructed dam and to his surprise there was hardly any water in it; 3 beavers were sitting in the middle of it, watching him. Buddy strolled up to them, they made to run however.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to eat you!" Buddy said.
"Okay, wewe better not I warn wewe dammit!" One of the beavers said.
"You guys seem bummed...

*Author's note: this picks up the night after where part 18 left off. The point of view switches off between me, Kate, and Buddy so sorry if it confuses wewe a bit*

The inayofuata morning was a bright and sunny one, I woke to the sun streaming in the small window in my bedroom in the trailer house. A nice break considering all the rain we had been getting. Kate laid with her paws around me, we had had been making out and fell asleep doing so the night before.
"Kate Kate wake up! It's shaping out to be a glorious summer day!" I alisema to her.
Kate woke and looked around and yawned, "oh I forgot we were...

Kate's eyes opened, she was laying on her side on a warm soft surface. Her eyes scanned over her paws, that is odd. The gashes that Buddy left there were no longer visible, as were the gashes on her belly and the bite wounds around her neck. Her whole body was free of pain and hurt. Kate got to her feet and looked around, it was very beautiful out here. Kate heard water running and followed that noise, she fancied a drink right now. A walking bridge came into sight and it was then she recognized this place.
It was the place Jon had brought her that spring night so long zamani after he had saved...

After driving for about 10 minutes, the Bronco rolled to a halt in my driveway. It was pretty much dark now except for a hue of dim pink on the west horizon. "This is it Kate! Welcome to our house!"
I jumped out and hurriedly went around the side of the Bronco to Kate's door and opened it for her.

Kate jumped out and looked around.
"Let me onyesha wewe inside Kate, it is getting too dark out here to onyesha wewe the duka au the outbuildings," alisema Jon. "Tomorrow there will be plenty of time don't worry!"
"Ohh, I like this place Jon! wewe actually live here?" Kate alisema in awe looking at the front of...
