Chapter 1

Tobias Roberto Mozzarella Pugly!

OK, so that’s not my REAL name. My real name is Pugly. But I’m never going to get on in life unless I THINK BIG. And you have to admit that Tobias Roberto Mozzarella Pugly is a

Pugly is a dog’s name. And I’m MUCH more than just a dog. I’m a pug with

Clem the cat says that my ideas are RIDICULOUS. But they’re not. She’s probably just too SLEEPY to notice how good my ideas are because she’s a cat and she sleeps ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the time.

When Clem isn’t sleeping she’s usually MOANING about something, or telling me that I’m ANNOYING her, or tormenting Clive the fish by STARING at him, or flicking her tail against his tank.

But Clem is SUPER SMART so when she decides to be HELPFUL it’s GREAT!

But sometimes she STILL makes fun of me and plays tricks on me, even when she’s helping. Like the time I got stuck inside a wellington boot. I couldn’t see because I got stuck HEAD FIRST but I knew she was there because I could hear her laughing.

So that’s when I said, “CLEM! HELP!!”

Clem DIDN’T help. But I knew what would work. So I said, “Come on, Clem! I know you’re there. I can SMELL YOU!” And that’s when Clem got very annoyed.

She says that cats are much cleaner than dogs (so what?) and washes herself at least fifteen times a day! What a waste of time! Anyway, that’s when Clem came up with an idea to get me out of the boot, and it was to PUSH ME DOWN THE STAIRS.

When I landed at the bottom I was FURIOUS and I was JUST about to bark at her when I realised that I wasn’t stuck in the boot any more.

“Told you it would work!” said Clem, grinning widely.

I think Clem probably ENJOYED pushing me down the stairs but at least it got me out of the boot. I’d been stuck in there for over an HOUR!

So anyway, I think I know why Clem is a bit mean and she moans a lot and why she can be VERY unhelpful. It’s because she’s worried Maddy loves me more than her.

We both

Maddy because she is eight and she is

But Clem gets a bit jealous sometimes because she used to have Maddy all to herself before me and Clive came along.

Maddy likes it when me and Clem are friends and so do I because a CAT BRAIN and a PUG BRAIN work very well together.

So I really, really, REALLY hope Clem decides to help me with my latest BIG IDEA because if it works it’s going to make Maddy SO PROUD of me that she’ll probably give us ONE HUNDRED belly rubs. And I LOVE belly rubs! And so does CLEM!
