CHAPTER

9

“Are they really giving one of us to Cassie’s class?” I asked.

“Donating,” said Leopold.

“It’s the same thing,” Whiskers insisted.

“Let’s slow down,” said Dash. “What exactly did Dad say?”

“I’m afraid I heard the same as Coco,” said Leopold. “Animal Inn will donate a pet to Cassie’s class.”

“And Dad knows just the pet,” I said sadly.

“Who do you think it is?” asked Whiskers.

“Well, we know it’s not Dash,” said Shadow. “Dash is a dog-show champion. And Mom’s had him for, like, a million years.”

“I’m not that old,” said Dash.

“I doubt it could be me,” said Leopold, nervously preening his feathers. “I believe a macaw is too sophisticated a pet for your average first grader.”

“Well, it can’t be me,” said Shadow. “You can’t have an outdoor cat as a classroom pet.”

“But I’m an indoor cat,” Whiskers whimpered.

“Calm down, Little Brother,” said Shadow. “Mom and Dad would never separate us.”

If it wasn’t Dash or Leopold or Shadow or Whiskers, that left . . . me.

Just then, Fuzzy and Furry popped out of the heating vent.

“We hear Shadow has a new collar,” said Fuzzy.

“We can literally hear it,” added Furry.

“Very funny,” said Shadow. She tried to shake the collar loose, but it only made the little bell ring more. “Drat,” she muttered.

“Could it be Fuzzy or Furry?” Whiskers asked.

“Could what be Fuzzy?” asked Fuzzy.

“Or Furry?” added Furry.

“Mom and Dad are giving one of us away to Cassie’s class,” I said.

“But we’re Jake and Ethan’s pets,” said Fuzzy.

“We’re not Mom and Dad’s to give,” added Furry.

“Well, it’s not going to be me!” cried Whiskers.

“What are we going to do?” I asked. I didn’t care how much Mr. C. loved chocolate things. I didn’t want to be given away. I didn’t want a new family.

“Maybe they meant temporarily,” said Fuzzy.

“Like only for a few days,” added Furry.

Gulp!

That’s exactly what Lucky’s last owner had said.
