THE DOG TALKS!

After the Johnson's had dinner Mr. Johnson went to his study, Daniel to his room, Anika to the library, Mrs. Johnson to her room for the night and Isabella to her room to get ready for bed.

"Ok Isabella, take off your clothes and get into the bathtub for your bubble bath, let me go and get a towel. Don't let me repeat myself Isabella I'll be right back," said the maid.

"Ok."

The maid went out of the room and shut the door in search of the towel and hopefully some scenting oils.

"Ok Jake, are you going to take a shower with me or would you like a biscuit?"

"A biscuit please, I am STARVING, been very tired of not being able to talk so I couldn't tell you, cheerio, fetch me a biscuit quickly," the dog said lying down, he spoke like he was British. Isabella was short for words, when she finally got herself, she grabbed Jake and ran out of her room, shouting all the way downstairs.

"Mommy, daddy, the dog talks, it really talks."

"What are you saying princess, a talking dog?" Mr. Johnson asked.

"Ok honey, I think this is the result of just too many cartoons," said Mrs. Johnson.

"Oh no, believe me, he talked, he really talked, Jake tell them, tell them you are hungry like you told me, tell them."

"Whoof, whoof."

Everybody was looking at her confused they just couldn't understand what was going on with her.

""Oh, how can you say a dog was talking, come on I told you to get undressed before I came back let's go.

"Anika and Daniel went to their rooms laughing.

When Isabella was tightly tucked in bed that night the maid turned off the lights and went to her room silently closing the door behind her.

Isabella turned to Jake who was lying on the bed ready to sleep.

"Jake why didn't you talk, they thought I just imagined you talking."

"When it is time, they will know but not now,just let this be our little secret, ok?"

"Ok Jake, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

When Isabella was fast asleep, he crept out of the room, how he opened the door was unknown.

Anika had found a rather interesting book that was about a dog who killed people and wanted to rule the world.

Anika dropped the book feeling sleepy and the thought of their dog being the evil dog in the story made her laugh at wild thoughts.

'I'm just hallucinating,' she thought and fell asleep.
