Toff is still waiting for the Best in Show Carolina Dog to arrive, and he is ranting about Uncle Zorro trying to get into the Pedigree Club again, but it is totally untrue, Zorro has given up on that.
“Yesterday,” Toff snarled, “I saw you approaching Cloud 9, saw it with my own eyes. Get it, once and all, you are NOT a Pedigree dog!”
“I was not near Cloud 9 yesterday and I do not want to be a member of the Pedigree Club,” Zorro asserted with a firm voice, “I will start the Achievement Club, which is based on performance. I will call it the Ace club. I will send you an invitation to take the entrance test, but I doubt you pass it.”
“What performance,” asked Loba? Zorro said he had not written the Club rules yet, but it will be based on service, loyalty, and skills such as varmint chasing. Things that Toff can’t do.
Raleigh is keeping away from the “crazy Bassett,” (Toff), he hangs out with us. Raleigh is very muscular; he had a big yard to exercise in and he kept a lot of racoons at bay. Zorro looks at him admiringly and they seem to be getting along very well, with intense discussions about varmint chasing. They call themselves brothers.
