Ask Abbie 3/19

Hello again! Its Ask Abbie time again, here in Dollville. I have a new question here from Rebecca Hawbaker.

Dear Abbie,
I am really, really busy with school and everything. It's making me feel horrible because I don't give my dog enough attention.
What Can I DO?

Just as you save time for meals, homework, and sleep, schedule asome time everyday with your dog- such as right after dinner. Even a few minutes a day can make a difference in your dogs health and happiness. Plus, playing with your dog can help relieve the stress of your busy schedule, so it'll be good for you, too. :)

Do You have a question you would like to ask Abbie? Just post it below or on the Ask Abbie page. :)

Weekly News 3/18

Hello everyone. Ruthie here with the Weekly News! Things have been going good since the election. I think " will make a good President!  The Community Center is all built again. :) But something has been bothering me. How did the fire start? The fire department has ruled out a spark. So that would mean the Someone started the fire! Now Who would do that?! I don't know about you but I want to fined out more about this.
 
 
 

*Breaking News!!*

Hello Everyone! I was just over at the old Community Center (they built the new one just a little to the right of the old lot.) And I am now very sure that someone started the fire. Because guess what I found in the bushes behind the lot! A box of matches! Now of coarse someone could have been camping and left them, (but there is no campfire) or just dropped them while walking past. (that don't sound so logical) I am going to go hunt for more clues. See you later.
 

*More News!!*

So for the second time today I have went to the old Community Center site. I really think someone is out to get Dollville. I am going to ask Josie for help. What do you think happened to the Community Center? Comment Below. :)
