"Yeah, it's just great," the tallest new person says with a great deal of sarcasm, "he'll be able to see in the dark with those eyes. Hey, I thought you had already decided on the little girl?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's already decided on me" the little girl exclaims at the new person as she gives her the best smile she has. "Don't pick that dumb boy! He's so lazy and totally out of touch with his body that you'll be sorry if you pick him. All he wants to do all day long is to lay around and sleep. Pretty dumb, huh? Pick me up again and I'll show you that I'm really active and will keep you entertained all day long.'”
"Well, what would you think if we took both of them home?" the new person asks the grumpy person. "We have a really big backyard and they can run and play a lot together. I really like both of them!" "Both of them?" the grump exclaims. "I had not planned on having two more dogs around!"
"I know, but I really like both of them," the new person says in her sweet soft voice. "I like the little girl because she's so playful and I think she'll be a lot of fun, but I like the little boy because his eyes are so unique and beautiful. What do you think?" "I think it's already been decided," the grump says not so nicely. "Okay, we'll take these two home with us."
“Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!" the little girl practically squeals, "they're taking us both home with them! This is so great! We'll have so much fun together, won't we?” "Duh, what ya' mean take us home with them?" the big boy asks with a sleepy voice."This is home! All our brothers and sisters are here. Why would I want to go someplace else?"
"Stupid boy!" the little girl yells, "We're going to get out of this tiny place where everything is always the same and go someplace new. Isn't that exciting?" “Oh, no, no, no," the big boy puppy says with a quiver in his voice. "I don't wanna go anyplace! I like it just fine right here! I get more than my share of the food bowl because I'm the biggest and baddest of all you babies, so I'm not going anywhere. See, I can hide under this tree and they won't know where I am, so they won't take me anywhere."
“Boy, you really are stupid, aren't you," the little girl laughs, "they can still see you, and besides, there's only two of us outside the pen, so that means both of us are going to a new home. Dude, it's going to be a great adventure...and besides, there will only be the two of us now and we won't have to beat up the rest of the litter to get to the food bowl. I promise I'll leave enough in the bowl for you, okay?" "You promise?" the big boy asks with a quaking voice, "You really promise?"
“Yeah, I promise!" the little girl says to him. Behind his back, she uncrosses her front paws. Dumb boy she says to herself. Everyone knows a promise doesn't have to be kept if your paws are crossed when you make it. I'm not leaving him anything in the bowl, and he's so dumb he probably won't even notice. I don't know though, he's so big...well, I might have to leave him some crumbs.
"Wouldn't it be great if we could have a food bowl for each of us?" the little girl asks hesitantly. "You're crazy, girl," the big boy barks at her. "Everybody knows all puppies eat out of the same bowl! Whoa, wait a minute! What's going on? What's happening?" he squeals as the new person lifts him off the ground.
"We're going to our new home," the little girl exclaims as she is lifted off the ground too. "This is the start of our big adventure, big boy, and just remember, if you mess up my big chance with this new person, you're going to lose a leg. Understand?"
"No, I don't understand," the big puppy says, "and I don't really know what's going on. First of all, you say we're going to a new home, then I'm going to lose a leg, then you're going to leave enough food in the bowl for me to eat...how could that be? I'm bigger than you and...and...and I get to eat first. Don't I?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah," the little girl says with disgust, "I'll let you eat first. Maybe!"
He'll be so easy to trick of his food she thinks to herself. "It would be so great to have our very own food bowls, but I can always make him think he's just not hungry. Stupid boy. "Hey, what's that big yellow thing they're taking us to," the big boy asks. "I don't know," the little girl squeals with delight, "but it must be something to take us to a new home. Isn't this great?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's already decided on me" the little girl exclaims at the new person as she gives her the best smile she has. "Don't pick that dumb boy! He's so lazy and totally out of touch with his body that you'll be sorry if you pick him. All he wants to do all day long is to lay around and sleep. Pretty dumb, huh?
