CJ and the Book Club
CJ was a Pugapoo with curly fur, a bouncy little trot. He loved the one night a month when his owner would host a book club at their house.
As soon as the guests arrived, carrying big, colorful books and snacks that smelled oh-so-delicious, CJ knew the evening was about to get magical.
He curled up under the table, his ears perked as his owner and her friends opened their books and started talking about the story. Sometimes it was an adventure with pirates, other times a tale of enchanted forests, or a mystery with hidden clues
.
CJ imagined himself right there in the stories! A pirate dog, sailing the seas in search of treasure! A brave explorer, sniffing out hidden passageways! A detective, solving the mystery of the missing slipper (his slipper, of course)!
And the best part? The snacks
!
As pages turned and laughter filled the room, tiny crumbs from buttery crackers and cheese floated down like golden treasure. CJ happily cleaned up every last one—his special book club treat
!
When the night was over and the guests packed up their books, CJ climbed into his owner’s lap, gave a happy sigh, closed his eyes, and dreamed of writing his own story of adventure.
