No Dogs on Mars

May 5, 2070

Dear Diary,

A week ago we got a big yellow letter from the Colony Company. They are going to send my father to work on Mars next month. We will have to go too. Ugh! I don't want to go. I don't want to leave my school, my friends and especially Spot. Mom says that dogs are not allowed on Mars. Spot is not just my pet – he's my best friend. What will I do without him?

No Dogs on Mars

Right now we're packing. That's what dad calls it – I call it saying goodbye to the things we love. My father isn't sympathetic at all. I can't take my bike or any of my books. I can't even take chocolate Yummy Bars – what will I eat? My friend told me that Mars is strange – there aren't any lakes or forests. No one wants to go, but we have no choice. My father's company is going to move to Mars and there won't be any work for him here. He says the company will give him a good pension in a few years. How long does it take to get to Mars? I'm so angry. I want to run away. It's just not fair!
