Hey guys, bacon here with chapter 4 of Proto Dog 12. I'm trying to match Techs writing style, but jumping between this story and my own, it's kind of tricky. I really don't have much to say other than enjoy!

Ryder has spent the last few days cleaning the house for Katie. Ryder seems really excited for her to come.
"Can you stop smiling?" I asked jokingly as he brought out the fourth bag of trash to the dumpster.
"I've known Katie for about 3 years," he said. "We've been waiting for another chance to see each other in person again for some time."
"You seem pretty excited," I replied, closing the dumpster.
"I am! Want to head to the park and play before dinner?" Ryder asked me walking into the house. "We have been working hard all morning."
I smirked at him. "Is that even a question? Of course!" He chuckled at me as he grabbed the Frisbee. We walked down the block to the park.
After about an hour we came home and Mr Ryder was making dinner.
"Hey dad," Ryder said, "Whats for dinner?" I sniffed the air and licked my lips.
"Bacon wrapped steak and shrimp!" Mr Ryder and I said at the same time, causing everyone to laugh.
"Anything you need us to do?" Ryder asked. Mr Ryder turned to us, holding a steak with the tongs.
"Yeah, grab some plates and dish up," He replied. We grabbed some plates and got our steaks off the grill. I was about to take a big bite when Ryder took my plate away from me.
"Hey!" I shouted. "That's mine!" Ryder laughed at me.
"You wouldn't want to eat this," he said, pulling a toothpick out of the steak. "There you go," He gave my steak back and we ate.
After dinner we watched Zootopia on Netflix. About halfway through, Mr Ryder fell asleep on the recliner. His snoring was so loud, we could barely hear the TV at full volume. Ryder and I ended up going upstairs to our room.
"You can get some rest," he told me when we walked in. "I'm going to do a few things." I lay down on my bed and Ryder sat down on his computer. I was watching what he was doing for a bit. He had the designs pulled up. I wanted to see what he was doing, but I was too tired and comfortable to move.

Ryder and I sat at his desk, waiting for Katie to call. She was coming in 2 weeks, but it felt like 2 years for Ryder. Skype started ringing and Ryder answered the call.
"Hey you two!" Katie said when the video came up on screen.
"Hi Katie!" Ryder said, I barked.
"So, are you guys planning anything fun for us to do while I'm in town?" Katie asked.
"We have a few things planned right now," Ryder replied, "But we need some more ideas. What do you want to do?" Katie thought for a minute before there was a noise in the background. She looked down and bent over.
"Hey," she said in an odd voice. "Do you want to meet Ryder and Chase?" Ryder and I looked at each other confused.
"Um, Katie?" Ryder said. She looked at us before laughing.
"Sorry, I forgot you haven't met Callie." She held something up to the camera. It looked at me and hissed. It startled me and I fell backward off the chair. Ryder and Katie laughed.
"Ha ha, very funny," I said getting back on the chair. Callie smirked at me and I glared back.
"Callie will be coming with me," Katie said. "Maybe you two can be friends!" She looked at me.
"I can't wait for you to see Adventure Bay," Ryder jumped back into the conversation. "The mayor has really put some work into the new places across town!"
We talked with Katie for about 30 minutes Before she had to go. Me and Ryder pretty much spent the rest of the day playing Modern Warfare 2.

Ryder was sitting at his desk asleep again when I woke up. He has worked on the designs every night for the past week. Mr Ryder has come in a few days and put Ryder in his bed before looking at the designs himself.
"So what do you plan to do while Katie is in town?" Mr Ryder asked us at breakfast.
"We were thinking laser tag at Adventure Zone, and maybe trying an escape room at Zero Hour in Fogy Bottom," Ryder answered, spooning fruit loops into his mouth.
"Wouldn't Chase be able to solve the Escape room with ease?" Mr Ryder pointed out. "He is pretty dang smart." I barked in agreement.
"I could solve the room faster alone than you and Katie could as a team," I bragged. Ryder laughed sarcastically.
"What if it was just me and Katie?" Ryder replied. "Maybe I planned some time just for us?" Mr Ryder and I had a similar look on our faces. Ryder noticed and stared at us blankly.
"Ok," Mr Ryder said. "Any other plans? There is a football game on Thursday. The Adventure Bay Beavers play against the Windy Top Wombats, We could all go to that." Ryder thought for a minute before replying.
"I'll ask Katie if she wants to go," he said, "But I think it would be fun!"
"Crap!" Mr Ryder said, looking at the clock. "I gotta go, we have some important things to talk about at the lab." He rushed toward the door, struggling to get his jacket on.
"Dad," Ryder said. Mr Ryder turned around to see Ryder holding his keys. "Here." Ryder tossed the keys to his dad and he walked out the door.
"I wonder what they are talking about," I said curiously.
After breakfast Ryder and I went out and played in the yard for about 2 hours. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't warm either. Ryder tossed the ball high in the air. I was running backwards trying to catch it, Not watching where I was going.
"Look out!" Ryder screamed, but it was too late. I ran right into the inflatable spider, knocking it over. A loud 'POP' was heard and the spider turned into a black pancake on the lawn.
"Oops," I said, climbing out from the spider pancake.
"Lets take a break," Ryder said. "I'll explain that to my dad later." We went back inside and played videogames the rest of the day.

We stood in the airport by the baggage claim, Ryder holding a sign with 'Katie and Callie McCalister 'Written on it.
"Her flight was supposed to land 20 minutes ago," Ryder said, getting impatient. Meanwhile, I was catching an odd smell from one of the baggage carrousels. I walked over and noticed a pet carrier going around. It came around again and I looked inside. It hissed at me and knew exactly what was inside.
"Ryder!" I shouted, picking up Callie's pet carrier. He came over at the same time Katie came running to meet us.
"Thanks for finding Callie, Chase," she said, giving me a hug. "I went to the wrong carrousel."
"Hey Katie, how was your flight?" Ryder asked, getting a hug as well.
"Minus the kid behind me kicking the seat," She replied with a hint of annoyance in her voice, "It was good."
"Well, lets get going," I said, carrier handle still in my mouth. "I don't think Callie likes me holding her." The carrier hissed again, Causing everyone to laugh.

Hey guys! TechWolf here!
So… Here's Bacon's chapter! He's trying to start his slowing his pace down and start writing a little smoother…
I just wanted to add a quick note here to say some stuff…
Mainly, Thanks for taking our views back up! I was kinda worried you guys were gonna lose interest i it and it would be a failed project…
But you guys stuck with us and we're still going strong!
One more thing, Since the next chapter will take a little bit to get up due to having a lot of different stuff in it…
I'm actually open for suggestions with Random chapters… I'm working on one right now, But I don't have many ideas…. So some help would be awesome!
Be sure to check out both of our Tumblr's for updates on progress!
And as always, Until next time,
TechWolf out!
