Karon pushed open his front door, but didn’t see Pu’er or Kevin.
He went up to the second floor, yet still didn’t find them. However, he did notice that the clothes he had changed out of earlier and left in the bathroom were gone.
He walked up to the rooftop and saw Kevin holding the drying pole in his mouth while hauling the clothes up. Pu’er lay at one end of the clothesline, biting a hanger and hooking clothes onto the line.
Karon folded his arms and watched the two housepets diligently doing chores. After they hung the last piece, the golden retriever turned his head and saw Karon. He barked.

After eating, Karon carried the plates to the kitchen sink. He had intended to leave them soaking to wash later, but then remembered the plate that Pu’er had broken earlier when trying to do the dishes.
