The Case of the Mixed-Up Mutts (2011)
““RUN!” The toy poodles warn.
Mouse and I don’t need to be told twice. We turn tail and RUN.
“Grandma lives close to the river,” one of the toy poodles calls after us. “My human and I went there with Jazzy and her human once. If you can find the river, you’ll find Grandma. And, if you find Grandma, you should find Owen and that other dog, too.”
“THANKS!” Mouse calls back as we round the corner to the next block.
I glance over my shoulder. “It’s okay,” I tell Mouse. “The poodle’s human isn’t foll...owing us.”
“GOOD!” Mouse says as we slow to a walk. “I DON’T KNOW WHY HE HAD TO COME AFTER US WITH A BASEBALL BAT. WE WERE JUST TALKING TO THOSE DOGS. WE WEREN’T DOING ANYTHING WRONG.”
“Some humans don’t like it when dogs talk,” I say.
“HE STILL DIDN’T HAVE TO GET A BASEBALL BAT,” Mouse says.
“Well, if we don’t want another human to come after us with a baseball bat, we’d better be quiet,” I tell Mouse.
“SORRY,” Mouse whispers.MoreLess
