“Jake!” called Midge as she
hurried up the walkway to the porch. “Well, how are you this
wonderful new year?”
“Hi Midge,” greeted Jake. “The
year really flew by, don't you think?”
“I know,” said Midge. “I
think I remember when 2015 showed up and now we are starting 2016
today. Wow.”
“Where is Booker-T this morning?”
asked Jake.
“He went somewhere last night with
his owner,” said Midge. “I think his owner went to visit with
her brother and took Booker-T with her so he wouldn't be at the house
alone.”
“That was nice,” said Jake.
“Did your owner have a New Year's Eve party last night?” asked
Jake.
“She had a few friends in and they
laughed and ate pizza and watched a couple movies that one of her
friends brought to the house,” said Midge. “She has some nice
friends. They all patted me on the head and said what a cute dog I
was.”
“That's true,” smiled Jake.
“You are a cute dog if I say so myself.”
“Thanks Jake,” said Midge
blushing. “You always say the nicest things you know.”
“You are the cutest little dog I
know,” laughed Jake. “And now we go into the new year and maybe
you will have some new ideas for mischief we can get into.”
“Oh Jake,” said Midge. “I
will have to think on it for a while. There must be something we
haven't tried yet and maybe we can try this new year.”
