TNCAT Practice Test

Silly was the name of a very chubby dog. Her full name was Kelly’s Silly Lady, but everyone called her Silly. That was a name that described her pretty well. When she was two years old, Silly went to live with a new family. She didn’t understand why she was being moved and spent the first day or two trying to escape. The back yard of her new home was enclosed by a six-foot wooden fence. Time after time, Silly tried to jump over the fence but her short little legs would only get her a foot off the ground. It only took her a few days to settle in and get to know her new family. She came to love them and knew they loved her, too. Silly especially loved mom’s chocolate chip cookies. She watched mom mixing up the dough and putting the cookies in the oven. Everyone laughed at Silly as she lay down by the oven waiting for the cookies to bake. She just knew one of them was for her.
