Early life

Evie-rose:
I sat in the living room staring glumly out of the window as the rain pattered softly onto the window pane.
Mum should of been back around 20 minutes ago,I wonder why she's so late. Traffic probably.
But the roads round here aren't busy,well often in the holidays when the travellers come to stay in the camping site,but other wise their almost empty. The rain got more violent and smashed against the glass along with the roar of the wind which was becoming ever stronger.looks like a storms on the way and I'm on the farm alone.
I grabbed my Wellington boots and grabbed a rain coat and ran outside, I shut the chickens in their coop and made sure the sheep were ok,the cows were under their shelter and Mr ferns ponies were under a sheltered tree chewing the branches nervously. I made my way back to the house and was greeted by mums white Range Rover pulling into the yard. "Inside" she shouted over the whistling wind,we ran inside holding our hoods up dodging the hailstones that had began falling from the angry grey sky.
When we were inside,I made mum a cup of tea and we sat round the table in silence. Suddenly a massive gust of wind struck the house and electric sizzled out.We were sat in the dark. "I'll go get a candle" mum said calmly as she got up and made her way out of the room,I turned my phone light on and shone it around the room worriedly,suddenly a face popped up from near the door. I screamed but soon realised it was dad! I ran over to him and hugged him tightly "how's your day Evie?" He asked whilst smiling "same old usual" I sighed "oh,well my day was bad too,don't worry" he shrugged. Then mum came in wearing her pyjamas and with a candle in her hand,"Charlie go fix that electric" she whispered pointing to the electric box. Once the electric was back up and running,we all had an argument.the argument we have at least once every day. An argument about getting a dog.
I mean come on its a dog! Who can't resist a dog? I'm not allowed one.apparently it's "unfair to have a dog here"
Mum and dad are at work all day and I'm at school,I guess it is a little cruel keeping one alone,but one of my friends has 2 dogs that stay at home all day and I'm not allowed to have one because of that reason,just that one reason.
"I've told you before,we aren't getting a dog Evie,it's not a suitable home" dad butted into my thoughts. What the hell,we live on a farm for gods sake,it could run around all day everyday. And our house is big enough. Why? Just why can't I have a dog?

Darcy:
One by one they went,first it was buttons,then Lola and Hero,honey,and then bear,now my other sister hope. Their going to their new homes,I seem to be one of the last puppies to be sold. They say that I'm reserved or something whatever that means,looks like I'll be staying here for a while. My mother came into the house as hope was carried away in the old lady's arms who was tottering away happily with her husband.i watched after them resisting the temptation to howl. "Bring my sister back"'that what I wanted to howl,but I held myself back.I'm tri-coloured,that's what my mother says,Lola and hope were sable like my mother and my brothers hero and buttons were dark sable,then Roman who's a very dark sable,almost dark brown.I'm the only tri-colour puppy of this litter.mother says I'm special because I'm just like my father Lucas,I wonder who my father is.
I curled up in a cardboard box watching the rain fall onto the conservatory roof. I wish I had a family now,a person that could love me,care for me,take me for long walks! Everything!!! I can't wait to get to a new home,I just wish that special someone would come quicker...
