Chapter 4: Art in Motion #

"Help you paint?" Rosie repeated, eyes wide with disbelief. "You can't be serious, Lulu!"

"Why not?" Lulu asked cheerfully. "He's already covered in paint—might as well use it!"

Before anyone could stop her, Lulu guided Waggleton toward the paper spread on the table. Waggleton, excited by all the attention, began wagging his tail furiously. Drops of paint flew everywhere, landing on the sofa, the carpet, and even the curtains.

"This isn't art," Rosie groaned, dramatically falling onto the couch, only to leap back up when she realized it had paint splatters all over it. "This is chaos!"

"I think it’s wonderful," Violet giggled, looking at a blue droplet on her hand. "Maybe we could make paw prints on the canvas."

"Good idea!" Ollie shouted, excitedly jumping around and adding more chaos to the scene.

Sir Waggleton, eager to join in the fun, began running in happy circles, leaving colorful paw prints in every direction.

"Oh no," Lulu laughed, chasing after Waggleton. "Hold still, silly dog!"

"Mom is going to be so mad," Rosie whispered, hands on her head.

Just then, the door creaked open. Everyone froze. There stood Mom, eyes wide, staring silently at the rainbow-colored disaster that used to be her living room.
