The New Addition at Jake's

“Hi Jake!” called Midge as she walked to the porch where Jake was sitting. “What are you doing?”

“Hmm,” said Jake. “I'm picking cotton.”

“What?” asked Midge looking at Jake with a puzzled look. “You look like you are just sitting there doing nothing.”

“Yes,” said Jake. “That's what I am doing. Nothing.”

“Oh,” laughed Midge. “You are being funny.”

“Where's Booker-T?” asked Jake. “I thought he was coming with you.”

“He had to go to the vet's this morning so we are supposed to go get him before we go to the park,” said Midge.

Midge Tries Something New

“Hey Midge!” called Jake as he strolled through the gate. “What are you doing?”

He walked to the porch where Midge was sitting . “Hey,” said Jake. “Didn't you hear me calling you?”

“Oh, Hi Jake,” smiled Midge. “I didn't hear you.”

“Where is your brain at this morning?” asked Jake. “You were off in another world maybe.”

“Ha ha,” laughed Midge. “I guess maybe I was.”

“What were you thinking about?” asked Jake.

“I was thinking about an adventure,” said Midge.

“What kind of adventure?” asked Jake.

“I don't know yet.. I was just thinking,” said Midge. “I'm sure there is something I can do.”

“We are limited you know,” said Jake.

Midge Takes A Ride

  “Hey Midge!” called Jake as he ran into the front yard. “Where are you?”

He waited a few minutes and didn't see or hear Midge, so he hurried into the back yard and squeezed into the house through her little doggie door. He crossed the kitchen and found Midge in the living room talking to Snappy.

“Hi Midge,” greeted Jake. “Hi Snappy.”

“Hi Jake,” said Midge.

“Hi Jake,” said Snappy. “I'm glad you come to see me.”

“How are you doing?” asked Jake. “ Do you miss your pond at the park?”

The Old Cars

Midge and Booker-T hurried along the sidewalk on their way to Jake's place with Smokey running behind to keep up.

“Come on Smokey,” said Midge.

“I'm hurrying,” said Smokey. “You walk so fast you know.”

“Oh,” said Midge stopping to let Smokey catch up with them. “I didn't think about it.”

“I guess we are used to all of us walking fast,” said Booker-T. “We will slow down.”

The three strolled along at a slower pace, continuing on their way to Jake's. They rounded the corner and entered the gate at Jake's place.

“Hey Jake!” called Midge as they entered the yard. “Where are you?”

“Hi Midge,” said Jake as he came from the back yard. “Well, who have you got with you?”
