Maybe the judges would wear dark glasses. Yes, Ribsy did look better with all his light parts matching. He even sprin- kled some on his white tail. He sprinkled powder on Ribsy’s white ear and left hind paw. Maybe in the bright sunshine the judges wouldn’t notice. Henry decided to make all Ribsy’s white parts pink so they would match. But Ribsy was still 137ĭamp and the powder didn’t brush off. The talcum powder wasn’t white-it was pink! Who ever heard of a dog with pink spots! Quickly he tried to brush the powder off. Then he sprinkled powder on the big white spot on his back. Ribsy was panting and his tongue hung out. Henry was so hot and sticky that he had to sit down on the grass to catch his breath. The children were still crowded around Maud. He tore into the bathroom and grabbed a can of talcum powder.Then he rushed back to the park with Ribsy. He rushed into his room and snatched his hairbrush.

“We have to step on it.” Followed by Ribsy, he ran as fast as he could out of the park and up the hill to his house on Klickitat Street.
