One summer my eldest brother, Colten decided to take his dog.Bo,and our dog Tess down to the Illinois River, to let out some energy.
Only, a couple of days before we went to the river, it poured down rain for a solid 3 days, non-stop. As, a result the ground was like soup, really brown, mucky, dirty, gross soup, that looked completely dry on the outside. So, once you stepped in the mud you were stuck, for good.
Bo and Tess were playing with a tennis ball in the river, being thrown by Colten and after 30 minutes or so the dogs began to tire. So he quit throwing the tennis ball and walked away. But, the dogs were not done playing. So, they took the tennis ball to each one of my family members trying to get them to throw it again. None of us did though, because, they were both …show more content…
She wasn’t too happy about this so she, kicked and wiggled the whole way there. Bo was now determined that the rock could throw the ball for him. So, he kept giving the ball to the rock over and over again. Until, Colten, got angry and jumped into the mud to grab the ball, off of the ramp that led to the water. He, sunk immediately into the mud. We, meaning Klayten, my mom, Alysen, Bo, and I, spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get Colten out of the mud, that was waist deep. Colten, is 6’0”ft, all legs, with hands and feet bigger than bigfoots. So, it was quite a challenge getting him out. We found a stick, that Colten pushed up on, that kind of worked, then we tried pulling him out with the stick, that didn’t work either, until we finally used a combination of pulling with the truck that had tow straps and pushing up on the stick at the same time, to finally get him out.
Surprisingly, he didn’t lose anything, not even the change in his pockets. Well, he did lose the cleanliness of his clothes. I don’t think we ever got the mud completely out of that pair of clothes, or shoes,
