Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Freddie who loved listening to stories about his Nanny. Even though Freddie never got to see her in person, he knew that Nanny was always looking out for him from up high in the sky. Nanny was a very special lady. She had a big, bright smile and a heart full of love. She lit up every room she entered, and everyone loved her because she was strong, brave, and always happy. Nanny loved her own son, your dad, with all her heart, and he always remembered her gentle hugs and fun laughter. Every night, Freddie would look out his window at the twinkling stars. “That star is Nanny,” he would whisper, imagining her smiling down at him. It made him feel safe knowing that she was watching over him, cheering him on as he played, learned, and grew. Sometimes, when the wind blew softly through the trees, it felt just like a warm, gentle hug from Nanny. Freddie knew she was thinking about him, loving him, and always keeping him safe—even on days when he felt a little lonely.

Max, a golden retriever puppy with fur as soft as sunlight, woke up early on his first day at school. His tail wagged with excitement as his owner, Emma, fastened a bright blue collar around his neck. “You’re going to love it, Max!” she said, scratching behind his ears. The school was a lively place filled with barks, yips, and the occasional howl. Max’s ears perked up as he entered the classroom, where dogs of all shapes and sizes were playing. A tiny Chihuahua named Bella greeted him with a friendly sniff, while a big, fluffy Samoyed named Rocky wagged his tail so hard it knocked over a water bowl. The first lesson was “Sit and Stay.” Max watched as the teacher, a wise old Border Collie named Ace, demonstrated the command. Max tried his best, but his wiggly puppy energy made it hard to stay still. Bella giggled, and even Ace gave him an encouraging nod. “You’ll get it, Max,” Ace said. “Just keep practicing.” At recess, Max explored the playground, chasing balls and making new friends. He even found a hidden stash of tennis balls under a bush, which made him the hero of the day. Rocky taught him how to dig, and Bella showed him how to weave through agility poles. Max’s tail never stopped wagging. By the end of the day, Max was exhausted but happy. Emma picked him up, and he proudly showed off his new “Sit and Stay” skills. “I’m so proud of you, Max!” she said, hugging him tightly. As they drove home, Max rested his head on Emma’s lap, dreaming of all the adventures he’d have at school tomorrow. His first day had been a success, and he couldn’t wait to learn more—and maybe find more tennis balls!
