"There's someone coming, people, someone's coming to take me away," declares the smallest puppy in the pen. "Get outta my way, I'm gonna make my break with these people," she snarls at the rest of her brothers and sisters. "I have to get out of here! You guys are boring and this pen is just too small for me. Okay, if you're not going to get out of my way, I'll just climb over all of you and these people will just have to take me out of here," she yells at her brothers and sisters as she climbs over all of them.

"Look, people, looky, looky, looky! She's looking right at me and smiling!" sings the little puppy. "I'll just give her my best smile and she'll have to pick me. Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, this is gonna be fun."

"Ouch, get outta my way you stupid boy! You're blocking her view of my pretty smile. If you don't move right now, I'll bite your ear so hard you won't be able to hear for a month. Get out of my way," snarls the small puppy. "Okay, if that's the way you want it, then that's the way it's going to be," she snaps while she bites down on his ear.

"Yipe, yipe, yipe," the biggest boy of the litter exclaims, "hey, that hurt, you stupid girl! What makes you think they'll take you anyway" You're the smallest one of the litter and people always want the biggest and bravest boy of the litter, and that's me! Everybody knows that! Stupid girl!"

"I might be the smallest of the litter," she retorts, "but I have the prettiest smile of all you chumps. Besides, people always go for the most active, so get outta my way so she can see my smile!"

"See, she's looking right at me and telling that other person to take me outta here!" exclaims the little girl. "I told ya'!" as the owner of the pen steps inside to pick up the little girl and put her down on the outside. "I told ya' she would pick me!"

"She hasn't picked you for sure, yet stupid girl," exclaims the big boy puppy, "they always want the biggest and bravest of the litter, and that's still me."
"Ha! Says's you," the little girls snarls at him, "besides, who's outside the pen and...and...and look at me! She's picking me up. I'll give her my best smile and I just know she'll take me home with her the little girls says to herself. I know. I'll lick her face! That'll do it. That will clinch the deal and she'll have to take me with her.

"Hey, wait a minute, little girl," the new person says to the little girl, "not so many kisses yet. You're really an active little girl, aren't you?"
"Active? You bet I'm active," the little puppy drools. "I can run around and jump and play all day long. I take short naps and then I'm always ready to play. You'll just love having me around."

"Okay, I'll take this one," the new person says as she puts the little girl on the ground. "I think she'll be a lot of fun and she'll have a really huge backyard to run around in. She won't ever take the place of my baby, but I think she'll be okay.' "Duh, hey guys, what's going on?" asks the biggest puppy of the litter as he strolls out of the puppy house. "What's all the noise and commotion about? I'm trying to get some nap time in and you guys are making such a fuss out here."

"Hey, what about that one," the new person asks the pen owner. "He's really big and look at those eyes! They're just beautiful! So different from the rest of them. He looks like he's still half asleep, doesn't he?"
"You stupid boy," the little girls snarls at her new challenger. "If this new person takes you home instead of me, they'll be taking a three legged dog home and you know no one wants a three legged dog.'"

"Three legs?" the big boy puppy responds, "Whadda' ya’ mean three legs? I have four legs, dumb girl."

"You won't have by the time I get through with you," the little girls snaps. "You better not have messed up my chances for getting outta' here, you dumb boy! Besides, you know nobody wants dumb boys! They always want the active little puppy with cute smiles, and that's me! Stupid boy!"
"Could we look at that one, also," the new person asks. "Sure, let me get him," the pen owner answers.

"Oh, he's so cute," the new person exclaims as they picks the big boy up. "Look at those eyes! All the rest of the puppies have brown eyes, but this one has beautiful yellowish eyes, doesn't he? I think he must have some wolf in his DNA, don't you?"
