"But if we had kept on to Uncle Henry's we'd have been all right. It was Splash's fault that we had to come back." The dog barked, as he heard his name spoken. And then Sue suddenly thought of something. "Oh, Bunny!" she exclaimed, "if Splash knew the way home he could take us. Maybe he does. Mother read to us about a dog that found his way home from a long way off.
Splash, who was being held by Bunny and Sue, gave a sudden bark. Then he gave a sudden jump. He went so quickly that he pulled Bunny and Sue after him, and they both fell down in the dirt. But it was soft, so they were not hurt. They had to let go of Splash's collar, though, and the dog now began to run after the fox, barking again and again. "Splash! Splash!" cried Bunny. "Come back.
In an instant he turned the nozzle, and aimed the hose at the turkey which still had hold of the poor dog's tail. All over the turkey splashed the water, and as the big bird tried to gobble, and keep hold of Splash's tail at the same time, and as the water went down its throat, the noise, instead of "Gobble-obble-obble," sounded like "Gurgle-urgle-urgle." "There!
Sadie had gone back to her home at "756 Oatbin Avenue" to wait for her sugar, and when it came she took it from the basket on Splash's neck. Then the dog went back to the barn store to run on more delivery errands. This was a sample of the way Bunny, Sue, and their friends played that Saturday morning.
"Come away, Splash!" called Mr. Brown. Still Splash barked. Then, all at once, the woodchuck thrust out his head quickly, and made a grab for one of Splash's paws. The dog howled, and ran down the hill. "There!" exclaimed Mr. Brown. "Now I guess you'll leave the woodchucks alone, Splash."
They will send you word where he is if they find him." "I will give you his photograph," said Mr. Ward. As Mr. and Mrs. Brown walked across the lawn, they saw Bunny and Sue playing with the two dogs. Bunny was on Splash's back as though the dog were a horse, and Sue was doing the same thing with Dix. "Gid-dap!
"Oh, if I fall I'll fall in the hay," said the little fellow with a laugh. "And what are you going to use to put stripes on your half of Splash?" asked his mother. "Paint, I guess," said Bunny. "Oh, no. Paint would spoil Splash's nice, fluffy hair. I'll mix you up some starch and water, with a little bluing in, that will easily wash off," promised Mother Brown. "Blue stripes!" cried Bunny.
Take that!" cried Bunny squirting the water over the turkey. "That will make you stop pulling dogs' tails, I guess." Indeed the water was too much for the gobbler. He let go of Splash's tail, for which the dog was very thankful, and then the big bird ran toward the farmyard, just as the farmer came out to see what all the trouble was about.
Treadwell could answer there was a ripping sound, and a piece of cloth came loose from his coat. The piece of cloth stayed in Splash's teeth and the children's dog at once began to shake and worry it, as he might a big rat he had caught. And as Splash shook the piece of cloth he growled louder than before. "Oh, has he torn your coat?" asked Mrs. Brown. "I never knew Splash to act that way before.
Bunny asked. "George Watson did," said Charlie Star. "I saw him walk up along the fence, and throw it over." "What is it?" asked Sue. "Maybe it's a present for Splash," suggested Sadie. "George Watson would rather pull Splash's tail, than give him a present," declared Bunny. And indeed George often played rather mean tricks on animals, and little children.
