I noticed that the cat was scared of the Lynx

I thought that Lynx and cats would be nice to each other.

I noticed that the cat was scared of the people hunting.

I like that  the dogs and cat are back together and  I like that all of the animals are together

and that they are back on the road.

But I wish that they had stayed at the peoples houses.

I wonder why the dogs didn’t want to stay at the peoples house?

I also wonder why the dogs just keep on going and going and going  farther and farther and farther  away from there house?

The  OLD  boxer  was VEEEERY  lazy  when  the cat was not around.

I think  the old dog  was  mopey and  lazy when the cat was not with him, now he is tired  and the cat is back with him getting him food and staying with him!

I loved this book because there are a bunch of different scary things that happend but then  they all turn out   good because  all of the animals come home.

I would recommend  this book to anyone older than 3rd grade because this book is  VERY  hard  in vocabulary and  it is a little confusing for me even !

I would totally recommend this book it is  SO  good!!!!!!!
