Chapter Nine

 “MOM!” Boo Berry howled. “MOM!”

“What are you screaming about?” I asked as I trotted up to see what was going on with Boo.

I want in.

Why?

‘Cause I’m outside and I want inside.

Why?

It’s Outside.

So, nothing’s wrong with the outside.  Outside is big, fun, and really exciting.

That’s exactly why.

Oh, Boo, you are such a scared dog.

No, I’m not.  I just like being inside better.

MOM!!!! Boo Berry Screamed.

What’s going on, Mom said, walking up to the house.

Oh, it’s that dog; she wants in.

MOM! MOM! MOM! Boo Berry jumped around and bounced this way and that.

In Boo Berry?  Mom asked

Okay, I’m ready to go in.  Do you want in, TLC?  Mom bent down and gave me a pet.

Hum, let me think about it, I purred.

Okay.  I replied.  I guess so.
