Page 130 of Will Bark for Pizza

Will there be pizza?

Don’t leave without me.

“Hey, it’s okay.”

Mom stopped packing.

To pet me.

Oh, no.

She’s trying to hug me.

I don’t like hugs.

Ugh, hugs!

Mom, you’re squishing me.

Why are you squishing me?

“I’m only going to be gone one night.”

Gone?

Where are we going?

“You’re going to stay with Grandma Connie.”

Grandma Connie has the best asparagus.

Does she have asparagus now?

Or bacon?

Maybe we should check.

“Opal will be here too.”

I love Opal!

Wait.

Why are you putting stuff in your suitcase?

Where’s my stuff?

Am I going?

I’m going too, right?

You can’t leave me behind.

I want to go.

“Husker, buddy.”

New Best Friend!
