About this ebook
Calvin Waffle doesn't believe in bad ideas
Danny knows his friend Calvin has crazy ideas, so he's not surprised when Calvin suggests they start a Rent-a-Pet business. After all, Calvin's Aunt Ruth wants the boys to watch her dog while she's away, and what better way to get the miniature Collie off their hands than loaning him to a kid in the neighborhood for a few days?
But in order to rent a pet, you need a renter. Which Calvin and Danny don't have. Can the two drum up some business before it's too late? Or will their plan go to the dogs?

About the Author

Look at him,
my friend Calvin Waffle says.
We’re walking to school, and Calvin points to a man walking a dog. He’s wearing a bathrobe and slippers. That’s what the man is wearing, not Calvin or the dog. Calvin is wearing one red-and-white polka-dot sock and one purple sock. I can see his socks because his pants are a bit short. The dog is wearing a leash and a collar and has lots of short, curly hair.
I know all about him,
Calvin says.
Maybe he does. Calvin’s father is a spy. That’s what he told me. Maybe Calvin is one too. Maybe he’s spied on Bathrobe Man. Maybe he’s spied on lots of people in our neighborhood.
Maybe he’s spied on me!
Calvin says, The man has a child, probably a son named Devon, who wanted a dog. ‘I’ll take care of him,’ Devon promised. ‘I’ll even clean up after him. Please, Dad, please.’
Calvin stops. He grabs my arm and asks, And do you know what that man did?
I shake my head. I don’t know. I’m not the spy. Calvin is.
He bought the dog for his son. Because of all that curly hair, Devon named the dog Parsley, and for the first two weeks, he walked Parsley five times a day. He fed the dog so much that it puked.
Yuck!
Just thinking about a dog puking makes me want to puke.
That was just two weeks ago, and do you know what?
I shake my head. How should I know what? I didn’t even know the boy’s name was Devon.
Now Devon doesn’t even look at Parsley. He surely doesn’t take care of him.
This is all very interesting, but we have to get to school.
We’ve got to get going,
I tell Calvin. We can’t be late again.
Our teacher is Mrs. Cakel, and she doesn’t like it when we’re late. She also doesn’t seem to like it when we’re on time.
Mrs. Cakel doesn’t like it if we write our names too small or too big at the top of our homework papers. She doesn’t like it when we answer her questions too loud or too quiet—even if the answer is right. She also doesn’t like it if we wear shirts with sparkles or sneakers with blinking lights. Actually, Mrs. Cakel doesn’t like
