I looked at my wallpaper I knew what I had to do but if Howard caught me in here he'd probably tell me off. I looked across the room and saw my desk and my pens but how could I reach up there. Then I got a great idea! In Naboo's room there is some sort of dough that is really bouncy. I could stretch it and make a doggie trampoline.

So I leapt off my bed and ran into Naboo's room but Howard caught me, my claws were clacking with every move I made on the wooden floor.

"No,no,no." He said lifting me up "Bad boy" then he did the worst thing he could have possibly done. That's right, he smacked me on my nose. How dare he!

Just wait until you find out who I am. I wriggled out of his arms and landed on the floor I just said "ouch!" but when he heard my noise it must have sounded like a screech because he instantly went "are you alright?"

I jumped onto Naboo's footstool and then onto his cupboard where the dough was. I didn't want to but I had to pick it up with my teeth. It tasted awful.

I ran into my room dodging Howards hands.

"No!" He said loudly "That's Vince's room, he doesn't like dogs!"

How dare you Howard, I love dogs!

Howard tried to get me out but I shut the door in his face.

I set the dough over my chair and there was a piece of paper sticking out of the dough.

It read: "don't put more than 90 pounds weight on the dough thank you"

I don't know what weight I am. I'm a Labrador puppy!

I jumped on it anyway and like I wanted I bounced and landed onto the desk.

"Yahoo!" I yelled in excitement.

"No howling!" Howard yelled from downstairs.

Whoops. Wow almost everything I do normally sounds different to Howard.

I lifted one of my pens and jumped back onto my chair. The dough bounced me back onto my bed.

With the pen in my mouth I walked over to the wallpaper. I chewed the pen lid until it fell off.

How am I going to write? I tried with my paws and claws but it was far too difficult.

I lifted the pen in my mouth and tilted my head sideway. Slowly but surely I wrote on the wallpaper it read: Howard, I am Vince Noir!

It was extremely messy but it would have to do.

I picked it up in my teeth and dragged it to the top of the stairs. "Now for the rest of the stairs." I mumbled to myself

I wonder if it sounded like growling to Howard.

I pushed the wallpaper with my nose and it went down two steps. I stepped on the wallpaper and all of a sudden it slipped down the rest of the stairs with little me bumping along behind it. I landed on my face on the floor. I sat up and I was on the wallpaper.

"Hey puppy, have you seen Vince?" Howard asked panicking "They wouldn't have kidnapped him; they'd probably give him back in ten minutes anyway. He talks too much"

I growled. I wasn't trying to say anything I just growled at him.

"What's wrong?" he looked at me confused "don't stick up for Vince, you don't even know him"

I tilted my head to the left side.

"I mean I do love him loads." Howard said

So I guess that now was the perfect time to show him my artwork. I picked it up and padded over to him wagging my tail as fast as I could.

"What's this?" Howard asked

I whimpered and dropped the note at his feet.

He read it and then looked into my big blue eyes.

"Vince?" he whispered

"That's my name" I said but it was just three barks to Howard.

"That explains why you wouldn't come out of your room!" He said stroking my head

He picked me up and set me on his lap. "I prefer you this way." He said

I was shocked, how could he say that. I looked up at him with a snort.

"Naboo doesn't need to know, for now" He said setting me on the counter.

"There's a good boy." He said stroking my stomach as I lay down huffing.

I wish I could talk to him and he would understand .He's my pet, not the other way around.

He stroked a nerve on my stomach, my tail was wagging and suddenly my leg started twitching.

"Good boy" Howard said

"Don't push it" I groaned my tail still wagging.
