"Evan..." Evan said once again to Ian, who was tipping his head over with more curiosity.
Evan knew he was trying, that he really wanted to learn.
"C'mon, boy. Show daddy that you are the smartest little fellow around here!"
Evan encouraged.
......
Evan sighed.
"Well, well..."
He picked Ian up and placed him on his belly.
"Evan!"
Evan felt a jolt run trough his body.
He looked at Ian, who seemed very satishfied.
"One more time..." Evan whispered.
"Evan!" Ian said happily with a babish, squicking voice, and waged his tail in happiness.
"Good boy! I knew you could do it!" Evan almost yelled out with joy, as he lifted Ian up in the air and smiled brightly at him. "Who's my smart boy?"
"Hey, Frank! Get over here! Ian can spoke! He spoke!" Evan called, hoping that Frank could hear him, wherever he had gone.
