Blog-A-Rooney Part 2

Avery's POV

I sat on a stool by my bedroom wall and sat, painting my art wall. I absolutely love art. I started to paint a little dog representing Stan when I ran out of white paint. I reluctantly walked downstairs into the living room to get more.

I was home alone with no one but Stan. Mom and Chloe had gone shopping, Dad had gone to the supermarket, and Tyler was working at the food truck.

When I got downstairs, Stan was on the computer. "Hey Stan," i said, opening up the supply closet I used for my supplies.

"Oh hey Avery." He said, jumping down from the computer chair and walking toward me. "Have you seen Robert?"

"You lost him again?" I whined. Robert was Stan's favorite chew toy: a neon orange monkey which Gramma James had fixed - twice - and always seemed to be getting lost.

"I looked everywhere! Even the fridge...where I may or may not have taken a piece of your bacon from breakfast this morning..." said Stan, looking a bit guilty.

"It's alright Stan." I said. "I'll even give you the rest of it."

"Alright!" He shouted, and ran into the kitchen. I only smiled.

"Hey, Mom & Dad are going to spend the night at a hotel with a spa this weekend to get away, and Gramma James is gonna watch us for a couple days." I said when I reached the kitchen.

Stan only looked longingly at the fridge. "Stan! Are you even listening to me?"

"Sorry, Avery. I just lose all focus when someone mentions bacon."

I rolled my eyes and opened the fridge. I again told him how Gramma was going to watch us this weekend.

"Cool!" he said, as he smiled. I don't know how dogs smile, but you can just tell when they do.

Gramma is the only adult who knew that Stan could talk, and she found out merely by accident.

I placed a plate of bacon in front of Stan and he gobbled it up in almost no time flat.

"Okay, Stan. I'll be in my room if you need me." I said, and with that I walked off, eager to finish my art wall.
