Friends, Pets, and Myself.

Hi, What's up! I'm Matthew, and this is my dog Hunter. I am eleven years old and in the seventh grade. I like it here in Mannington, West Virginia. I used to live in Somerset Kentucky, but my dad needed a better job, so we had to move here. I made friends fast but three of them, (Ashten, Auben, and Hunter Hines) our pastor at the time, also had to move. We do see them every so often like at quiz meets and childrens camp. Our new pastor and his family, the Dooleys, were welcomed into our church, and the pastors son J.T is now one of my closest friends. He has a dog named Max who is really fond of me.

Speaking of which, the funny thing about my dog is when we give him towels to chew on, he always chews the tags up first then rips the towel up. I have heard somone say there is a sort of comfort only dogs could give. Through experience I know this to be true. A pet was just as much a need as it was a want when I was a kid.

I am writing a book called The Hunters and I only write when I'm at the computer and something comes to me and I haven't written anything in it since the beginning of December... I guess you could say I'm in a slump, but something will come to me. See ya!
