Chapter 8

I’d lost my breakfast over Red River Gorge, fallen off my horse in the Daniel Boone National Forest, and now I was 65 feet in the air with my nose stuck in a woodpecker hole.

Chloe was the first to notice. “Woody, look at this.” When I didn’t respond, Chloe looked at me.

“Are you OK, Woody?” Chloe asked.

Wag, wag.

“Are you stuck?”

Wag, wag.

“Should I get Mom and Dad?”

Wag, wag, wag.

Chapter 7

When I saw, “Welcome to California,” my heart stopped. “Dad, I’m sorry! I read the directions wrong. Surely Doc Albert didn’t want us in California!”

“Relax,” Dad said, laughing. “We aren’t in the state of California; we’re in California, Kentucky, a city in Campbell County that has about 86 people – much different from the Golden State.”

After arriving in California, our new trainer, Rex, met us with a warm, friendly smile. When Rex informed us of our activity, our mouths dropped.
