Midge crawled through the doggie door and walked through the front gate to the sidewalk and walked to Booker-T's house next door. She hurried through the gate.
At the back door, she poked her head into his doggie door and called out. "Hey Booker-T! Where are you?"
"Hey there, Midge," said Booker-T as he peaked around the refrigerator.
"What are you doing?" asked Midge as she entered the kitchen.
"I was just eating breakfast," smiled Booker-T. "What are you doing?"
"Hi there, Snappy," greeted Midge as she came into the living room from the bedroom.
"Hi Midge," said Snappy. "What are you doing?"
"I just woke up," said Midge as she jumped into the chair beside the table where Snappy's tank sat. "What are you doing this morning?"
"I was watching the sun come up in the sky," smiled Snappy. "Is it warm outside today?"
"No," said Midge. "It is still winter out there, but all the snow melted away."
The three friends walked to the gym after visiting with the animals at the Zoo center where they will be taken to the big zoo across town where they will have their new home. Above them, flew Gabby, When they arrived at the gym, they saw a very big sign on the side of the building.
"What does it say, Jake?" asked Booker-T.
"It says that there is a dance party here at the gym this afternoon," read Jake. "They are inviting everyone to come and dance and join the fun."
"We are everyone," smiled Midge. "They said everyone can come."
Midge walked to Booker-T's house and ran around to the back door. She poked her head inside through the doggie door.
"Hey Booker-T!" called Midge. "Where are you?"
Booker-T ran into the kitchen. "Hi Midge," greeted Booker-T. "Come on inside. It's cold out there."
Midge squeezed through the door into the kitchen. "What are you doing this morning?"
"I just finished eating breakfast," replied Booker-T. "What are you doing?"
"Are we going to Jake's house this morning?" asked Midge.
"Hey Midge!" called Jake as he and Booker-T walked to the front porch and found Midge sitting in one of the chairs.
"Happy New Year Jake and Booker-T," smiled Midge. "Wow, can you believe another year is beginning today and the old year is gone now into the days of the past."
"We have another year to do fun things," said Booker-T.
"I like having fun," said Midge.
"We do too," agreed Jake. "What do you want to do today?"
