The Last Cowboys

It is not easy to find the Wild West any more, but the Get Lost Travel Agency¹ were most helpful. They sold Harry two tickets for a fourteen-day bus tour [tʊə] to some of America’s best attractions. They were going to visit Hollywood (Roo’s grandfather could be there), the Grand Canyon (Harry wanted to see this very much), and a place called Cowboy Town, which sounded to Harry very much like the Wild West.

Harry planned to travel light this time, so he took the most important things for him – some clothes, the tent and a few golf clubs (клюшки). But Roo didn’t understand what travelling light meant. She wanted her ball, her plastic rabbit, two bones, a drinking bowl, dog biscuits, a flea collar (ошейник от блох) (red), best collar (brown with studs – со стразами), six tins of Mr Beefy Dog, a hairbrush, a tin opener and fork, a bowl with “Roo” painted on one side, a small chewed stick and a beanbag (she sleeps on this sometimes). Oh! How can a small dog have so many things!

Roo behaved badly on the plane. She didn’t want to sit still in her seat and kept going to the toilet. She said she could hear a mouse scratching there. She found an old lady’s glove and chewed¹ it to pieces. Harry had to apologise to the lady² and give her one of his gloves, though it was too big for her. Roo barked all through the film, 101 Dalmatians and made a baby cry licking its feet…

Harry was very happy when they finally landed. When they got to the hotel, the manager said that dogs can’t stay in a hotel. That’s why Harry had to pay more money for a doggie bed in the room. It cost twenty dollars and Harry was sure Roo would not sleep in it!

At midnight Roo ran all over the furniture and said that she wanted to chase something. At last she fell asleep on top of the TV. At three o’clock in the morning she woke up and said she wanted her dinner (she hadn’t got used to the time difference³). When eating her dinner she fell asleep and Harry put her to the doggie bed. She looked so good while she was sleeping.

When she got up, Harry was still sleeping. She walked on the telephone and somehow called room service⁴. When Harry woke up, the manager said that Roo had ordered (заказала) eleven full English breakfasts. Harry had to pay for them though it was an accident [’æksɪdənt]. So he was very angry with Roo.

Anyway, their tour of America began and they went to a film studio [’stjuːdɪəʊ] in Hollywood to see how a film is made. First they visited the pavement (тротуар) where all the fa-mous stars leave their handprints. Roo walked on wet cement and left her paw-prints in a space reserved for Tom Cruise. Harry hoped Tom would not be angry.

They wanted to leave the pavement but at that moment a big gentleman with a large ci-gar shouted to them to stop. Harry was worried that the man would attack them for the paw-prints on the pavement, but he said he wanted Roo’s “face”. Roo told him that her face was always on her body and could not come off.

The gentleman explained that he was the biggest film pro-ducer in Hollywood and that he was going to make Roo a film for a commercial¹ for dog food. All Roo had to do was to eat a bowl of Crunchy Munchies and then turn to the camera and smile. The film producer spent a long time with Roo, explaining what he wanted her to do. Roo said she would do it naturally. Then the director shouted “Action” and the filming began. But as soon as the camera began working things went wrong.

Each time she took some dog food in her mouth she made an awful face and looked sick. It took ninety-seven takes and afterwards Roo was sick under the director’s desk. “The biggest film producer” showed them to the door and told Harry that Roo’s career in films was finished.

After days of travelling they found the Wild West and Roo’s grandfather.
