We did the doghouse trick and the dog door trick while Dad moved around the garage,

爸爸在车库周围转悠走动时，我们会做狗屋和狗门的戏法，

placing things up on shelves and tying a rope on the big metal container.

把东西放在架子上，把绳子绑在大大的金属容器上tg_^F[fW2Tk7m!KZ。

I was overjoyed that “Dog Door” had treats associated with it again! When the boy grew tired of tricks, we went inside and wrestled on the floor.

我太高兴了，“狗门”又跟食物奖励挂钩了！当那个男孩玩够了这些戏法时，我们就进屋在地板上摔跤0VH[D2|r#!-0=GC。

“Time for bed,” Mom said. “Oh, Mom, please? Can I stay up?”

“是时候睡觉了，”妈妈说yoSoDuqdOxz。“妈妈，我可以晚睡一会儿吗？”

“We both have school tomorrow, Ethan. Time for you to say good night to Bailey.”

“伊森，我们明天都要去学校;f)8]w,uy-VhWP。你该向贝利道晚安了Sc#%K8C)L*fZC。”

While conversations like this took place in the house all the time, I rarely bothered to pay attention,

虽然像这样的谈话总是在家里发生，但我很少留心，

but this time I lifted my head at my name, sensing a shift in the boy’s emotions.

但这一次，我听到我的名字时抬起了头，因为我感觉到了男孩情绪的变化f(KuXSlaQPILqZo|。

A sadness and regret wafted off him and he stood, his shoulders slumped.

他的身上有悲伤和遗憾的情绪，他站在那里，双肩耷拉着|9[!S,kIK8。

“Okay, Bailey. Time for bed.”

“来吧，贝利，该上狗窝睡觉了pKqFy[)cJamg~^!8L。”

I knew what bed was, but apparently we were going to take a detour along the way,

我知道床是什么，但很明显，在那之前，我们得先走一段别的路，

because the boy led me out to the garage for another rousing game of Doghouse.

因为那个男孩又带我去车库玩了一场狗屋游戏4S3cI#^H4t。

I was perfectly fine with this but shocked when, moments later, the boy sealed me back in the garage, all by myself.

我对此完全没有意见，但过了一会儿，那个男孩把我一个人关在车库里了，我很震惊b7xVx_0o!m。

I barked, trying to make sense of it all.

我咆哮着，想弄明白这是怎么回事_J4Tu^~|[%O_|dV!UZb。

Was it because I’d chewed up my dog bed? I never slept in the thing anyway; it was just for show.

是因为我把狗床嚼烂了吗?反正我也从来都没睡过狗窝，走进去也是为了给他们看[ieLP8V+);!@G%B]Ph。

Did they really expect me to remain outside in the garage all night? No, that couldn’t be it. Could it?

他们真的希望我整晚都呆在车库里吗?不，不可能是这样G2Bz,Ob~o[]7~alsZs4。
