    About this ebook

    Everyone loves dogs, right? That seems to be the one thing that Sidney, Sydney, Gomez, and Harley can agree on. What they can't agree on is how to run their new dog walking business. From who makes the posters to who picks up the poop, the foursome is off to a slow start. Big dog decisions must be made, but what will the end result be?

      Big Dog Decisions - Michele Jakubowski

      I’ve never had a pet. We used to live in an apartment in Chicago. It was too small for a pet. Or at least that’s what my mom told me. I didn’t think it was too small for a fish, but my mom said the no pet rule covered every kind of pet — even fish.

      We moved from Chicago to Oak Grove after my dad died. Even though we live in a house with a big yard, we still don’t have any pets. It doesn’t seem fair.

      My friend Nathan has a new puppy. I’m pretty sure everyone in the world has a puppy but me. Well, me and my best friend, Gomez. Me and Gomez were going to Nathan’s house to see his new puppy. I already felt jealous, and we hadn’t even seen the dog yet.

      Before we even made it into the yard, a small puppy jumped on Gomez. Gomez was not a big kid, and the puppy knocked him right over.

      Get him off me! Gomez shouted.

      Calm down, Gomez, Nathan said as he pulled the puppy off of him. I couldn’t help laughing at Gomez. Who else gets knocked over by a tiny puppy?

      His name is Calvin. I got to name him, Nathan said with a big smile.

      I wanted to name him Hershey, Nathan’s little sister Natalie said.

      You got to name him by yourself? I asked. That was so cool! Besides my stuffed bear Ted, I’d never named anything.

      He’s a Labrador retriever, Nathan told us. Since he’s brown, he’s actually called a chocolate lab. He’s only six weeks old. When he grows up he’ll be over sixty pounds.

      Instead of thinking about sixty pounds of chocolate like I normally would, I thought about how much I wanted a dog. Nathan’s dog was crazy! He had been running and jumping since we’d gotten to Nathan’s house. I wanted a crazy dog, too!

      He sleeps on the floor in my room. I get to walk him every day and get his food and water. I even get to give him his bath! Nathan said.

      You are so lucky, I told Nathan.

      You sure are, Gomez agreed. I wish we could stay and play with Calvin, but we have to get home for dinner.

      * * *

      The whole way home from Nathan’s house I thought about getting a dog. It would be so much fun.

      I’d name him Sidney, Jr., I told Gomez.

      Oh no! Gomez said. "There are already enough people with
