Jimmy and faithful fun Buck, The dog that loves to chase the bird and the duck,the attention and love grows,as does their luck,they have a new friend and to the beach they will truck.

Jimmy and Bucky are headed to the beach today. Jimmy lives next door to our good friend Bo Jack, who as you all know, is the chief engineer and driver of the Bo Jack Express. The Bo Jack Express does take special requests, and loves to take the ride to the beach anyway, and he lets puppies and dogs, parrots and frogs ride on the Bo Jack Express. Our dynamic duo has another friend, Chad, who Jimmy met this summer. As you know, The Bo Jack Express is a magical train, it has no limitations, no traffic restraints and needs no tracks like a regular train. Jimmy decided to start calling Bucky Buck from now on, as it sounded a little more masculine, and the two had grown very close and fiercely loyal of one another, and Buck sounded like a good strong regal name. Buck was also growing quickly into a good sized and kind of intimidating looking dog, although still just a playful pup to all that knew him. But as any dog owner knows, especially ones with children or ones who have grown up along with the dog, there is no greater advocate or protector than man’s (and woman’s) best friend. Like all dogs, Buck knew when he sensed a bad person, or someone got just a little too close, Buck had no qualms whatsoever about letting them know about it.

Buck had learned to grow fearless in the last two months. The outdoors and mountains was what Buck loved the most, and eagerly stood up to a bear that got too close during one trip to the local mountains.

This was a fantastic specimen of a dog, with a great personality, but he would kill to protect Jimmy, and has. Once in a canyon on another journey, A coyote came upon Jimmy’s path, Buck just wanted to play, but the wild coyote growled, and Buck tore him apart. Buck had also eaten two tarantulas, killed two snakes that came into the yard, and a skunk that sprayed Jimmy. Nothing, and I mean nothing was ever going to hurt Jimmy or his mom as long as Buck was around. So Jimmy’s mom always felt safe when the dynamic duo went somewhere together. The very first time Buck met the mailman, Buck bit his pant leg tugging until Jimmy told him to let go, and they were fast friends ever since. This amazing animal was playful with everyone, and had a very inviting playful whimper and happy bark, but a strange sound or smell would send out a ferocious warning of a dog with a nasty temper not to be messed with. Wisely, no one ever did.

    Bo Jack Express, now that’s what I call using the imagination! Nothing like a trip to the seaside.

  • PR Mace on Jan 20, 2009

    Getting better, keep working on it. I like the Bo Jack Express. Maybe you should write a short story about a trip on the Bo Jack Express. I will read more later, I have to get ready for work now.

    Later, Pam

    Definitely getting better. Not quite sure of the Bo Jack Express. Are you crossing your personal genres?

  • Sam Finch on Jan 20, 2009

    This is quite nice and optimistic. A kind of nostalgic wistfulness permeates every phrase. The story reminds me of what is/was like to be a 12 year old, and to great effect.

    Truly good.

    The strength of the bond between man and dog is something else.

    Not really,Darren,I needed to get the boys and the dog to the beach,and wanted them to be off having fun by themselves,and you can’t take a dog on the bus here.So yeah,I crossed over a little bit,but have a new trick up my sleeve for next time.
    Thanks everybody.Jimmy,it can be you if you want.
