Typing letters slowly using sys

I am using sys to give the effect that I am typing letters slowly. Basically what I want to have happen is have it show "Loading......" with the word loading appearing instantly and then the periods appearing slowly, as most loading screens do. 
This is what I have.

dots = ('............')
for x in dots:
     sys.stdout.write(x)
     sys.stdout.flush()
     time.sleep(0.2)
				
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the dots to appear on the same line as "Loading". Every way that I have attempted, the word "Loading" appears and then the dots appear on the next line.
