The New Baby

 

Midge went back to sleep on the end of her owner's bed after she left for work. He house was quiet and Midge slept an hour longer. She stretched and jumped down to the floor after she woke up. She hurried to the living room and jumped into the chair beside Snappy's tank.

“Good morning, Midge,” greeted Snappy “you slept late this morning.”

“I know,” smiled Midge. “I think Booker-T is waiting for me so we can go to Jake's house.

“Yes,” said Booker-T as he entered the room and heard her talking to Snappy. “I was waiting for you. What happened to you?”

Trip to The Petting Zoo

 

"Good morning, Snappy," said Midge as she hurried through the living room and into the kitchen. She hurried up and ate her breakfast and started to crawl through the doggie door, but when she hit the door with her head to push it open, it didn't move.

"Ouch," said Midge.

"Is that you Midge?" asked Booker-T from the other side of the door.

"Hi Booker-T," greeted Midge as she poked her head out the door. "I think you were trying to come in same time I was trying to go out."

The Torn Paper

    Hello everyone... Sorry for the late posting from Jake and Midge..  We were traveling and didn't get the story posted before we left for the trip...   

   Now,  Here is the story     "The Torn Paper"

Midge entered the living room and jumped into the chair next to Snappy's tank.

"Good morning, Snappy," said Midge as she poked her nose to the glass looking for Snappy in the tank. "Where are you? I think you are hiding again."

"Hi Midge," smiled Snappy as he crawled onto the log. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to go to Jake's house with Booker-T," said Midge.

"Are you going to the zoo building again?" asked Snappy.

"I don't know yet," said Midge. "You should have seen the giant turtle we saw when we were there the last time. Wow, Snappy, he was a really big turtle."

The Giant Turtle

 

Jake, Midge and Booker-T walked along the sidewalk to the zoo transfer facility to see what animals were there being transferred to or from their city's big zoo across town. They stopped at the corner, checking to be sure there were no cars coming and hurried across the street. They saw the zoo train pull into the station and several humans got on for the ride to the zoo across the city.

"I wish we would ride the train to the big zoo," sighed Midge.

"I know," said Booker-T. "It would be fun to go see all those animals there, but if they saw us, they would toss us off the train and it's a really long way for us if we have to walk home."

What do You Like to Do Best

 

Midge sat up on the end of the bed when her owner woke up for the day and got cleaned up and ready for work. She followed her owner to the kitchen where she gave her fresh water and food.

"There you are Midge," smiled her owner as she set the bowls on the floor mat.

She turned and went back to the bedroom to finish getting ready for work as Midge ate her breakfast and drank some water. When she finished, she ran to the living room and leaped into the chair beside Snappy's tank. She stood on her hind legs and put her paws on the table where the tank stood. She pressed her nose against the glass looking for Snappy.

The Ice Skating Rink

 

Midge woke up when she heard a tapping on the window outside. She jumped into the chair next to Snappy's tank and looked out the window. Sitting on the windowsill was Gabby. She leaped out of the chair and ran through the kitchen to the doggie door and crawled outside. She ran to the front of the house and found Gabby sitting on the porch railing.

"Hi Gabby," said Midge. "What are you doing?"

"I was looking for you guys," said Gabby. "Where is Jake and Booker-T?"

"Here comes Booker-T now," said Midge. "We are suppose to walk over to Jake's house. Do you want to come with us?"

Jake Agrees

 

"The sun is out, the sun is out!" sang Midge as she hurried into the living room and leaped into the chair near Snappy's tank.

"You sound happy this morning," said Snappy.

"I am," smiled Midge. "Jake said we could go sledding when the sun came out and it's a little warmer out there."

"Does Jake want to go sledding?" asked Snappy.

"He said we would go," said Midge. "I will bug him all day long if we don't go."
