CHAPTER SEVEN

Maria looked confused. “What?”

Lizzie started talking fast, the way she always did when she was excited. “Pugsley only wants attention. That’s why he’s so bad! But instead of giving him attention, we keep trying to ignore him. So then he just tries harder and harder to get our attention!” She stared at Maria, then at Pugsley (now he was digging madly in the dirt over by the seesaw), then back at Maria.

Maria looked confused. “Uh-huh,” she said. “So —”

“So what if we just give him more attention — before he can misbehave?” Lizzie could not stop grinning. Her idea was brilliant! She was a genius! She could see herself now, accepting the prize for Dog Trainer of the Year. “It just came to me,” she would say in her acceptance speech. She would mention Maria, too, of course. Maria had been there. She deserved at least a little bit of the credit.

“Uh, Lizzie?”

Lizzie was so deep in her daydream that it took her a moment to answer. “Yes?”

“That attention thing? I think Pugsley needs some right now.” Maria nodded toward Pugsley, who was busy pulling red petunias out of a flower bed near the park’s front gate.
