Our Darling FrouFrou In the pretty town of Cavendish where I live me Billy WOOD and the Stuart the sidewalks are made out of roads are made of dirt Around here all the houses on each road are the same color I live on Red Tartan Road The red tartan represents the Stuart family I have lots of friends who also live in the neighborhood a Foxy the fox on the Rusty Road a Musky the skunk on the Black and White Road a Yeti the weasel on the White Road in the winter and the Brown Road in the summer a Shifty the chameleon on the MULTICOLORED Road depending on the tint of the sky Today his house is azure blue because it’s a beautiful day out there 9 Chapter 1
Unfortunately for me there’s no storm in the forecast I’m supposed to go walk the dog FrouFrou I can only take him out on sunny days Otherwise he would smell like wet dog and it would ruin his beautiful fur coat Where is the rain when I need it FrouFrou is a white poodle whom I detest He belongs to the MacTerrings our neighbors At the beginning of the summer I had the brilliant idea to offer them my dog walking services in exchange for a few bucks They eagerly accepted This provides me with a bit of pocket money to go to the shop on Candy Road to get my favorite treat chocolate-covered crawfish Yummy yummy yummy So delicious And now it’s been weeks that I’ve been walking ol FrouFrou No crawfish not even chocolate-dipped ones are worth this effort 10
First of all what he looks like FrouFrou is a classic poodle his body is all shaved except for his paws his neck his head and his tail 11
