Susie moves in with Booker-T

 Susie's owner carried all of her things to Booker-T's house and Susie followed behind her. They climbed the steps to the house and her owner knocked on the front door. When Booker-T's owner opened the door, Booker-T was standing beside her.

"Hi Susie," said Booker-T. "Come on in. I am so happy that my owner agreed to take you into our house. You will like it here with us. See over there by the fireplace, you have a new bed beside mine."

"That is nice," smiled Susie. "I always slept on the end of the bed at night."

"I do too at night," said Booker-T. "When it is cold during the day, I like to lay in the bed near the warm fire. It is nice."

Booker-T Has News for Susie

"Susie," said Booker-T. "I want to talk to you about something, okay?"

"Sure," said Susie. "Is everything okay?"

"I'm good" said Booker-T. "I heard my owner talking to your owner the day she came back from her trip."

"Did she thank your owner for letting me stay with you?" asked Susie.

"Yes she did," said Booker-T. "She was very glad that you could stay with us and I was happy you were there with us too Susie."

"I really missed my owner when she was gone," said Susie.

"I know you did," said Booker-T. "I have a question."

Susie's New Collar

The three friends told Snappy good-bye and headed to Booker-T's house. They felt good after their swim in the pond. The small breeze was cool as it blew through their wet fur. When they turned the corner on Booker-T and Midge's street, they spotted Susie sitting on her front porch. They hurried to her house to get the news about her owner.

“Hi Susie,” shouted Booker-T as they entered the yard through the front gate.
“Hi Booker-T,” said Susie. “Hi Midge and Jake.”

“How are you doing now?” asked Midge. “I think you are a lot happy now that your owner is home.”

The Friends Discuss having an Owner

 “Susie!” screamed Jake and Midge. “Susie! Look out for that car!”

Susie's owner turned to see Susie running toward the street and screamed for Susie to stop. She heard the dogs barking. Susie stopped just in time as the car went speeding by her. Her owner came running and picked Susie up into her arms. She patted Susie on the head and hugged her tight. Susie purred and nuzzled her in the neck.

“Boy, that was close,” signed Midge. “She wasn't looking for the cars.”

“I know, she had one thing on her mind and that was running to welcome her owner back from the long trip.”

“Do you want to go to the park?” asked Booker-T. “I don't think Susie will come to the park today. She will be busy following her owner around the house.”

Susie is Excited

 “Good morning Susie,” said Booker-T. “You are awake early this morning and sitting out here on the porch all by yourself. Are you okay?”

“I am fine Booker-T,” said Susie. “I think today is the day my owner is coming home.”

“I thought it was tomorrow,” said Booker-T. “Are you sure it is today?”

“I have been watching your owner mark off the calendar every day and I think she will be home today, but I don't know what time she will be here.”

“I know you will be happy to see her,” said Booker-T. “It has been a long time she was gone.”
