Sorry I didn't post recently. The stupid cone kept getting in my way! I hurt my leg playing fetch, then next thing I know, I'm inside the cone. Anyways, here is Chapter 3!
“As you will find, Shihtzua, there are many helpers around the castle,” Corgi announced as Shihtzua exited the cellar to continue her tour. A very shaggy dog approached them. “Hello, miss,” he said in a surprisingly cheerful voice. “I am Chief Janitor Komondor, but you can just call me Mr. Mondo. I presume you are Shihtzua, the king Pom Pom’s wife-to-be?”
“Indeed, I am, Mr. Mondo. I can see you do your job with passion. I haven’t seen a single spot in the castle yet! I already appreciate your hard work keeping this castle clean.” Shihtzua knew that he, along with Pom Pom, would be her two closest friends in the palace.
Moving forward in the castle, Shihtzua saw an assortment of maids and other helpers bustling around, keeping the castle tidy and its occupants happy. After a lengthy journey down the main hall, they reached the kitchen. As soon as she entered, Shihtzua was captivated by many luscious aromas. There were nutty breads roasting in the oven, while bustling cooks tossed salads or mixed vats of jam. On top of the clamor, one voice rang out like a cracked bell. “Hurry up chefs, you’ll never get that pie done for the feast tomorrow if you don’t chop faster! Jerry, chop those pumpkins a little faster, could you? Ughh! This will take forever to prepare!” Noticing Shihtzua enter the room, the chubby dog strode down the kitchen to meet her, knocking over a vat of dressing in the process. “Hello miss,” he exclaimed. “I am Pug, the chief chef of the castle. I cooked that kidney pie you had tonight personally. Did you like it?”
“Yes, I very much enjoyed it. I am Shihtzua, Pom Pom’s wife to be. It is nice to meet you, Pug. I look forward to eating some more of your delicious meals!”
Good luck on the science pop quiz tomorrow!
