Dear Diary,
In the morning, the strangest thing happened! I was coming down for breakfast and there in the doorway was Tuffy, struggling to pull a dead rabbit through the cat flap. I didn't know what rabbit it was at first, then it became clear in my mind that it was next door's Thumper. Worried, I screamed. Anxiously, mum and dad came running down the stairs and they got their first sight of Thumper on the floor dead. Suddenly, Dad shouted "oh good golly, that's next door's Thumper, next door will never speak to us again".
When we'd calmed down, we thought of what to do. After a while, we decided to give him a wash, so dad got the washing liquid, dumped old Thumper in it, gave him a good wash and then he tipped all the disgusting dirty water into the sink. Afterwards, he plonked old Thumper on some long newspapers. Meanwhile, I was in a corner sulking. Without warning, mum said ''you are getting on my nerves, go get the hairdryer". Quickly, I ran upstairs to get the hairdryer and when I came back, I confidently fluffed Thumper up nicely, he was spotless.
Now what will we do?
