I looked at Pooky. She wasn’t a big dog. How hard could she pull?

“Okay, we’ll see you later,” Jerry said. He and Sherry turned to leave.

“Yep,” I called to the twins. “See you—“

WHOA!

The next thing I knew, Pooky was pulling me across the lawn on my belly.

For a little dog, she sure was strong. At least, too strong for me.

But not too strong for a droid!

“Hey, Java!” I called. “Can you come here and hold on to Pooky? I have to fill the bucket with flea shampoo.”

“You are going to shampoo fleas?” Java asked as he walked toward me. “I thought we were going to wash the dogs.”

I didn’t even bother trying to explain it to him. I had too much to do.

I began filling the giant bucket I’d borrowed from my mom’s lab with shampoo and water.

I made sure to keep the tub of water far away from Java. He can’t get wet. If he does, his battery will short-circuit. I’d already seen that happen, and I didn’t want a repeat.

Before I could finish filling the bucket, a Great Dane and a Chihuahua came running over. They knocked the bucket on its side.

Soapy water spilled all over my pants and my brand-new sneakers.

The grass around me turned all muddy and slippery.

“Whoops!” I shouted as I tripped, trying to reach for the Great Dane. “Come back here, Tiny!”

The hose I was using to fill the bucket was spraying water everywhere. The dogs started running in circles, trying to get away from the water.
