I immediately ran out the dog door and confirmed that Ethan and Mom were both leaving,
我立刻从狗狗门跑出去确认,发现伊森和妈妈都要走了,
Ethan taking off with the rest of the children in the same yellow bus.
伊森和其他孩子坐同一辆黄色的公共汽车走了。
Well, this was intolerable.
这景象是我无法接受的。
I barked for a while, and from down the street Marshmallow answered, so we barked at each other, but that didn’t help as much as you’d think.
我叫了一会儿,街那头的棉花糖回应了我,所以我们彼此对叫着,但对叫没什么缓解效果。
I moodily went back into the garage, sniffing with disdain at the doghouse.
我闷闷不乐地回到车库,不屑地嗅着狗窝。
I would not spend my day in there, I decided, even though it was the softest place around.
即使这里是这附近最温暖的地方,我也决定不要在这里度过一整天。
I saw Smokey’s feet underneath the door and put my nose to the crack and inhaled his scent, letting out a frustrated sigh.
我看见在门底下看到了斯莫基的脚,我把鼻子凑到门缝边,闻了闻他的气味,沮丧地叹了口气。
I didn’t sense a lot of sympathy coming from him.
但我没怎么感觉到他的同情。
Because I was a big dog now, the doorknob was easily within reach, and it occurred to me that there was something I could do about my predicament.
因为我现在已经长得很大了,门把手很容易就能够到。我突然想到我可以做点什么来尝试摆脱困境。
I put my paws on the door, took the knob in my mouth, and twisted it.
我把爪子放在门上,用嘴咬住门把手并转了转。
Nothing happened, but I kept trying, and eventually, with a small click, the door fell open!
什么也没发生,但我继续尝试,最后,随着一声轻响,门开了!
Smokey had been sitting on the other side, probably laughing, but when I saw him he sure wasn’t laughing anymore.
斯莫基一直坐在另一边,可能在笑我,但它看到我站在它面前时,他肯定笑不出来了。
His pupils grew dark and he turned and fled, so naturally I followed him, skittering around the corner and barking when he leaped up on the counter.
他的瞳孔变黑了,转身就跑,我自然地跟着他,我俩在拐角处转来转去。当他跳上柜台时,我便狂吠起来。
It was much better in the house.
这比在家里就好多了。
The night before, pizza dinner had arrived at the front door in a long, flat box, which was still sitting on the counter and therefore easily accessible.
前一天晚上,一个又长又平的盒子里被送到了前门,里面是晚餐披萨,盒子依然是放在柜台上,因此我很容易就能够到。
I pulled it onto the floor and ate the delicious cardboard, shredding the less flavorful parts, while Smokey watched in feigned disgust.
我把盒子拉到地板上,吃着美味的硬纸壳,把其他不那么可口的部分咬碎,而斯莫基则假装厌恶地在一旁看着。
Then I ate a can of his cat food, licking the metal clean.
然后我吃了一罐他的猫食,把罐头也舔得干干净净。
