Then something very funny happened, for when Jackie opened his mouth to speak to Alice he had to let go of the bone, and of course Peetie ran off with it and hid it. But that was a good thing, for they couldn't pull on it any more, and when Peetie came back they both rubbed noses, and went on through the dark woods, taking Alice home. They had only one accident.
Now you know it feels queer to have two puppy dogs biting your heels, even if it is only in fun, and as soon as Jimmie felt Jackie and Peetie nipping him, he turned around quickly and cried out: "Oh, don't do that!"
"Where did it come from?" inquired Peetie, making his tail go round like a pin wheel. "It's our papa's hat!" suddenly cried Flop. "I can tell because it's got his initials inside," and, surely enough there were the letters "A.T." inside the hat, standing for "Archibald Twistytail." "Our papa's hat!" exclaimed Curly. "Is it possible?" "Of course, it is," said Floppy, as he picked it up.
One day after Buddy Pigg had been on a visit to Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, the two puppy dogs, who were once in a circus, he came home all excited. He ran out in the yard, began pawing over in the woodpile, and soon he ran into the house, where Brighteyes, his sister, was washing the potatoes for dinner. "Do you know where there is any wire, Brighteyes?" the little boy guinea pig asked. "Wire?
On and on they went through the woods, and pretty soon Jackie found a nice juicy bone, and Peetie found a bit of meat, while Flop found an ear of corn and his brother picked up a big turnip. "Oh, joyfulness!" exclaimed Flop. "Now we can have a lunch in the woods, just like real camping out!" And so they did.
Gurr-r-r-r!" and the tree barked and roared so like a lion that the foxes were frightened and were glad enough to run away, taking their tails with them. Then Jackie and Peetie came safely out, and thanked the tree for taking care of them. "Oh, you are welcome," said the tree.
I'm black with a black spot no, I mean I'm black with a white spot, and Jackie he's black no, hold on he's white no, I'm Jackie, and he's Peetie he's white with a white no, a black spot " "Oh, for mercy sakes, stop!" cried Jimmie. "I'm all tangled up with white spots and black spots!" "So am I," admitted Jackie. "It's hard to tell who I am, sometimes." "Is it, really?" asked Jimmie. "Yes, it is.
“Oh, I’m going to carry it instead of a gun,” said Bawly, “and if I see that bad alligator, or snake, again I’ll shoot ’em with beans.” “Beans, won’t hurt ’em much,” spoke Bully. “No, but maybe the beans will tickle ’em so they’ll laugh and run away,” replied his brother. Then they hopped on through the woods, and pretty soon they met Peetie and Jackie Bow Wow, the puppy dogs.
But they have not come home from school, though the lady mouse, who teaches in the hollow stump, must have let the animal children out long ago." "She did," Uncle Wiggily said. "I came past the hollow stump school on my way here, and every one was gone." "Then where can Jackie and Peetie be keeping themselves?" asked Mrs. Bow Wow. "Oh, I'm so worried about them!"
Well, Buddy and Sammie hadn't gone very far before they met Billie and Johnnie Bushytail, the boy squirrels, and they agreed to play ball. Then, as the four of them went along a little farther, they met Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, out walking with Percival, the old circus dog. So Peetie and Jackie said they would play ball, and that made six.
