Gabby Talks to Midge

Midge, Jake and Booker-T slowly walked along the sidewalk to Jake's house. Midge was quiet as they walked along. She was not her bubbly self this afternoon.

“Are you okay Midge?” asked Jake. “You are being so quiet and that's not like you.”

“I'm fine Jake,” said Midge.

“You don't look fine,” said Booker-T. “You look like you are feeling bad. Are you sick?”

“Hi guys!” greeted Gabby as he swooped down closer to the three as they walked along the sidewalk. “What is wrong with Midge? I have never seen her looking so bad before. Is she sick?”

The Dog Show Arrives

Midge and Booker-T entered the ate at Jake's house and Midge was wearing her pretty pink bows on her ears and her pink rhinestone collar.

“Hey Jake!” called out Midge. “Where are you?”

“I'm here,” said Jake as he came round to the front of the house. “Wow Midge. You are really looking great this morning.”

“Don't she look as good as all those show dogs at the show?” asked Booker-T.

“She sure does,” agreed Jake. “You really deserve a blue ribbon Midge, but without being entered into the show, I don't think you will get one. Please don't be too upset if you don't win one and they kick you out of the ring.”

Midge and the Dog Show

“Hi Jake!” greeted Midge as she and Booker-T came through the gate at his house. “What are you doing?”

“I am looking at the pictures in this book,” smiled Jake.

“Pictures of what?” asked Booker-T.

“Pretty show dogs,” replied Jake. “There are many different kinds of dogs in those dog shows. Little dogs, big dogs and medium dogs. Look at this boxer. Don't you think she is great looking. I would like to meet her.”

“I've seen some of them on TV when my owner watched the dog shows sometimes,” said Midge. “Some of those dogs are really snooty acting too and so are their owners.”

“How do you know they are snooty without talking to them?” asked Jake.

Visiting the Farm

 “Hey Midge!” called Jake as he came through the gate at her house. “Where are you ?” I don't see you.”

“I'm in the back,” said Midge as she walked to the front of the house.

“Is Booker-T here yet?” asked Jake.

“No,” said Midge. “I haven't seen him yet today.”

“Do you want to go see the horses and the cows at the farm?” asked Jake.

“Sure,” smiled Midge. “Maybe the cows will give us some milk to drink.”

“How will they do that?” asked Jake. “The people have to milk them.”

“I don't know,” said Midge. “I guess we can just look at them and maybe they will talk to us.”

“Lets go find Booker-T,” said Jake.

“I'm right here,” said Booker-T as he joined the two. “What are we going to look at?”
