Midge and Booker-T walked to Jake's house. They hurried through the gate and found Jake sleeping on the porch swing.
"Hey Jake!" called Midge.
Jake didn't move.
"He is really sleeping," said Booker-T as he picked up a small twig from the yard.
Booker-T walked to the swing and took the twig and tickled Jake's nose with it.. Jake moved and swatted at his nose with his paw.
Booker-T walked to Midge's house and when he entered the front yard, he saw Midge coming around the house to the front yard.
"Hey there Booker-T, " said Midge. "What are you doing?"
"I came to see what you are doing," said Booker-T.
"Did you know that next week is Thanksgiving day?" asked Midge.
"What is Thanksgiving?" asked Booker-T.
"Did your owner go somewhere last year for Thanksgiving day?" asked Midge. "My owner went to her brother's house."
Midge walked over to Booker-T's house and ran around to the back yard.
"Hey Booker-T!" called Midge. "Where are you?"
She sat by the back door and waited. Booker-T didn't come outside.
"Hey Booker-T!" called Midge again. "I'm out here!"
Again, there was no answer from Booker-T. She poked her head into the kitchen through the doggie door in the back door. "Hey Booker-T," said Midge. "It's me. I'm coming in the house. Where are you hiding?"
Midge came out of the bedroom and ran across the living room to where Snappy's tank sat on the table near the window. She leaped into the chair that sat beside the table.
"Hi Midge," said Snappy as he climbed his little branch that was in his tank and pressed his nose on the glass. "What are you wearing?"
"Hi Snappy," smiled Midge. "Do you like my new sweater and my pink bow on my head?"
"I like the pink color," said Snappy. "Is it cold outside?"
"Yes," sighed Midge. "I don't like the cold weather, Snappy. I think summer is better."
"Soon the snow will come," said Snappy. "I'm happy I have a nice warm tank for my home now."
"Sometimes the snow is fun to play in," said Midge. "I just don't like being cold."
