Muddypaws –  My favourite part

Ben and his puppy, Muddypaws, did everything together. They played inside… They explored outside… And at the end of the day they cuddled up together. Wherever Ben went , muddypaws  went too. Except for school,,, smiled Ben, as Muddtypaws  popped a bubble. “ And my  bath?”  Next day, Ben was late for school.”   See you later, Muddypaws?” he cried. Uh-oh? Ben forgot to shut the gate? Wherever Ben goes, I go too? When Muddypaws  padded into school he couldn,t see Ben anywhere. He mooched merrily in the hature corner… And then lolloped off to the painting corner. Squidge?  Went the red. Squidge?  Went the yellow and  green. Squirt? Went the blue. What fun? thought muddy pows. ” What a mess? ” gasped the teacher. But where was muddypaws ?  muddypaws  was  looking for Ben in the school garden. He didn’ t find a spade. Ben I can dig with my paws? he thought. Scratch scratch? scratch scratch? Muddypaws dug and dug and dug. Digging is hard work? yawned muddypaws. Here’s a nice cosy spotfor a nap ” on no? ” gasped the teacher at break. ” Who has made all this mess? they’ ve buried all the flowers in sand. I love it.
