Honors Bio #1

First, I played with my dog. She is always sitting around sleeping, but today she was in the mood to play. I ran around the house as she chased me, and then I trapped her in a room. She started to bark frantically at me, wagging her tail ferociously as she barked. I then proceeded to jump at her and grabbed her whole body. She started to kiss my face rapidly and then she ran away again. We both benefited from it, as she is always so cute and she likes to play sometimes.
The next encounter was with a stupid moth. It kept flying around our kitchen, and it finally tried to go into the fridge when I opened it. I shooed it out of the fridge, and then it flew off. I looked for it for a while, and then I found it on the lower part of our ceiling. I then jumped up with my fingers facing up and almost touched it. I tstill stayed there, so I jumped a few more times until I smashed it. It is good we don't have moths anymore, but I had to kill it, so I benefited but it didn't.
Another encounter was with some spider during enrichment. Some of the boys were trying to get it, but it hid between the metal bar and the wood of the desk. They tried to use the corner of the book to push it out, but they failed. They werre about to try it again, and then the bell rang. So in all, we were indifferent from the encounter, but the spider benefited by not being killed and being able to live another day.
Then, there was some wierd thing on the pavement near my house. It was black and it was jumping. My guess is that it was a jumping spider, but it was dark so I couldn't tell for sure.I believe it had eight legs, I was kinda scared of it getting on my clothes(yes I have arachnaphobia) so I just kinda back away from it. Nobody really benefited, the jumpy thing is still alive since I didn't smash it, and I'm kind of scared by it, so I guess it benefited and I was indifferent.
The last encounter is pretty amazing. My dad brought me to our front yard and showed me a rabbit he saw while getting the mail. It was white, with reddish eyes, and was chewing on some of our plants. I tried to catch it, but it keep running away. I once scared it off our yard onto the neighbor's house, only to find that it hopped back to our house again. I think it will make its stay here for the night, and I'll try to catch it tomorrow. I guess the rabbit benefited from the encounter, since I feed it vegetables. I didn't et anything from, but I just wanted to catch it before the coyotes do.
