Party's Over

Jackie: "Oh, Cookie, that was a fun birthday party. I liked chewing up the rawhide shoes. We don't have a treat like that too often."Cookie: "It was a fun party, wasn't it? I guess if we got a rawhide shoe to chew up every day, it wouldn't be a treat, would it? Besides, I think Mama thinks too many rawhides is bad for our digestion."Jackie: "Well, maybe a little begging won't hurt."

Annie: "A little begging NEVER hurts! Sometimes it helps."
Cookie: "Beg away, Jackie. Let's see you do it."Jackie: "Oh please, oh please, oh please, James....pleeeeassse give us another rawhide."James: "No, Jackie....it's not good for your digestion to have too many rawhides."

Cookie: "Told ya so, Jackie."

Jackie: "Well the party's really over now!"

Jackie: "Cake, I hope!"

Cookie: "No, not cake; dogs don't get to eat cake. Mama has these leather rawhide shoes for us to celebrate."
Cookie: "I am ready for my treat now!"Jackie: "Well, that's not quite as good as a MEAT cake, but it will be a nice treat! I need to go find a good place to chew it up!"
