Riley: Thanks for the dog treats!
Mr. Lin: Come back soon!
Theo: I bought a leash for Whiskers.
Kelli: Ha-ha! Whoever heard of a leash for a hamster?
Sarah: I think it's cute.
Kelli: Be careful. He's getting tangled in it.
Skyler: What are you doing, Ben?
Ben: I'm blowing up a balloon for Speedy.
Ben: See? I tie the string around him.
Ben: Now he won't get lost in the tall grass!
Riley: What a great idea.
Sarah: Chatter is pecking at Speedy's balloon.
Skyler: Chatter, stop!
Theo: Chatter popped Speedy's balloon!
Ben: Oh well. I'll just carry him.
I don't want him to get lost.
Skyler: Let's choose pet tricks for our show.
Riley: Snooks can play hide-and-seek.
I hide his bone, and he looks for it.
Riley: He even checks the closet.
Theo: Frankie can jump through a hoop.
Sarah: Mittens can do flips.
Of course Mittens isn't a real pet.
Riley: That's still a good trick.
Skyler: Chatter can tell a story.
Chatter: Once upon a time . . .
Skyler: Shh, Chatter. Not yet!
Ben: Maybe Speedy and I will just watch.
He still doesn't know any tricks.
Riley: I think Speedy should be in the pet show.
Sarah: Me too! Everyone loves him.
Theo: Don't worry, Ben.
Riley: We're the Pet Lovers Club.
We'll think of something Speedy can do!
