Diggity

Pt. 4 No. 1 , 2008

1) Put a word that means to same as the bolded word from the
   Thesaurus in the space.

I knelt beside/ next to Diggity.  He made no effort/ mental energy to get up.  His neck was a pulpy mass/large amount of blood, and his rib cage rose and fell unevenly/ not equally.  Dad scooped/ grabbed him into his arms and staggered/ walked unsteadily up the beach.  Mum and Lucy were already in the car with the hatch/ boot up and engine running.  The vet said Diggity had lost heaps/ lots of blood.  The outlook/ future wasn’t good.  When the phone rang/ was ringing later that evening, nobody was in a hurry to answer/ reply to it.  But Diggity did survive.
