"Well, it cannot be helped. Shall I try now to go to sleep?"
"Yes, do, and I will make up your bed for you."
This she did, and the dog lay down and shut his eyes.
"I will just give my coat a wash, and then try to go to sleep too," said Mew-Mew.
"Be sure you call me if you feel worse, dear Bow-Wow."
The little boys and girls who read this book will be glad to know that in spite of all the fright which Bow-Wow and Mew-Mew had, the dog was in no danger of dying at all.
He had to stay in bed for a whole week, and for ten days more was very weak, and had to take care what he ate, and where he went.
