    Grover's New Friends - Claire Garth

    Peanut

    CHAPTER 1

    In the corner of a large bedroom in a house on Cavendish Lane, Grover McBane lay sleeping in his bed. He was curled up so tightly that he looked like a furry black-and-white ball. A cool morning breeze rustled the curtains beside him. They wafted gently across Grover’s face and then back against the big French doors.

    Grover’s nose wiggled as the soft fabric tickled his nostrils.

    Grover pawed at his nose but didn’t open his eyes. He was still sleepy.

    It’s too early to get up, he thought. And I was having the BEST dream. Maybe if I doze off again I’ll be able to catch those cats!

    Grover tried his best to ignore the tickles, but it was no use.

    AAHHHH-CHOOOOOOO!!

    Grover jumped up, now wide awake.

    Oh no! he sighed. Now I’ll never catch those dream cats.

    Grover peered up at the big bed where his owners, Annie and David, were sleeping.

    Before Grover met Annie and David, he had never slept on a bed. His first owner had not even let him sleep inside. Having his very own bed was Grover’s favourite thing about being part of a family. Each night, when Annie and David tucked Grover in, he thought how lucky he was. Of all the dogs in the world, they had chosen HIM. Grover’s life had never been better.

    Grover walked around to David’s side of the bed and gently rested his head beside David’s arm. David didn’t move.

    With a little pad, pad, pad of his paws on the floorboards, Grover walked around the bed to Annie’s side.

    Grover rested his head beside her. She didn’t move either.

    Grover walked back to the end of the bed. Ever so slowly, he placed one paw, then the other, on the big bed. Then, with a spring, he launched his whole body up onto the bed. He landed with a thump.

    ‘Well, good morning, Grover!’ said Annie.

    Grover did a little commando crawl forward on his tummy and snuggled into the small space between Annie and David. It was time for his morning belly rub.

    ‘Haven’t you ever heard of personal space, Grover?’ David laughed.

    ‘Grover McBane,’ said Annie, trying to sound stern, ‘you are not supposed to be on the bed.’ She leant forward so that her face was right in
