Chapter 3: Waggleton's Big Splash #

Lulu dipped her brush into bright blue paint, carefully swirling it around. She was ready to make the first big stroke on her blank canvas. Just as her brush touched the paper, Waggleton suddenly barked and jumped up, excited by a passing skateboard on the sidewalk outside.

"Waggleton, no!" Lulu cried, but it was too late. The whole tray of paint jars tipped over, sending a river of every color of paint splashing onto the floor—and all over Waggleton!

"Oh no! Waggleton, you're a mess!" Violet gasped, covering her mouth.

Waggleton stood still, confused and dripping paint, his tail wagging uncertainly. Ollie burst into laughter, rolling on the floor.

"Uh-oh," Rosie said, shaking her head knowingly. "Mom definitely won’t like this."

Lulu stared wide-eyed at her dog. "It's okay, Waggleton," she said, trying not to giggle. "You look good all colorful!"

"Maybe we can wash him off," Violet suggested hopefully.

"Or..." Lulu smiled mischievously, "Maybe he can help me paint!"

Everyone looked at Lulu with wide eyes, wondering just how far her big idea would go this time.
