Chapter 2

In this chapter, John, anounces that he will go on a hunting trip and that he won't bring, the animals with. Because there isn't enought space for 4 in the caonoe. So he writes a letter to Mrs, Oaks telling her that he will leave the animals with her, so she will take care of them. He writes the lettre on 2 pieces of papers. And leaves it on he's desk for Mrs.Oaks to see. But he looses the second piece of paper. And when Mrs, Oaks comes to his house. She only finds the 1 piece of paper, wich sais:

                          '' I will be tacking the dogs (and Tao too of course!).....''

So she suspects that John is talking the animals with him. But she does think its odd that someone would bring a cat hunting. She did think there was an other paper, and that the cat must of knocked it off the table. But she looked every where and she did not find them...
So when John leaves, the animals feel lonely, and leave the house trying to return to their owner.

After a while the old Terrier gets week. And the Labradore gets hungry. But on the other end the cat is a natural hunter and catches food, like birds, and chipmucks. That is one of the reasons why Tao is my favorite Charactor!
