I think I got t hem all Yesterday, my friends went to the site of a world-famous puppy park with their dogs. Their dogs' tails were wagging so quickly they looked like helicopters! It was adorable. Once they were there, the dogs got to run around and play while the people talked about their favorite animals. Yesterday was a lot of fun for dog lovers.

Okay so 'theyre' needs an apostrophe because theyre is 2 words joined together, a conjunction. They are. So it would be they're. <- their is incorrect because it's a possessive word. It would have to be 'there'. So the sentence would be "Once they were there," the second part of the sentence needs correction also, the part "the people talked about there favorite animals." there is like saying "my phone is over there." distance or a place. So the correct word would be their. So the paragraph would be "Yesterday, my friends went to the cite of a world-famous puppy park with their dogs. "They're" dogs tails were wagging so quickly they looked like helicopters! It was adorable. Once they were there, the dogs got to run around and play while the people talked about their favorite animals. Yesterday was a lot of fun for dog lovers."
