Birthday Visit from an Old Friend

Cosmo: "Zoe?"

Zoe: "Cosmo!"

Cosmo: "Happy birthday, Zoe! I wanted to look in on you....are you being a good girl?"Maxie: "N-O. No, she is not being a good girl, and who are you?"Zoe: "That's Cosmo! Cosmo was my very best friend in the world before I came to live with here."

Cosmo: "I remembered that this was your birthday and I wanted to see you. You were such a cute little puppy."

Zoe: "And you took such good care of me, Cosmo."

Cosmo: "You were a good girl but you wore me out sometimes."

Maxie: "Well she still wears me out, so nothing has changed that way." Zoe: "Maxie! Cosmo is my friend....shouldn't you be out in the yard checking for buffalos?"

Maxie: "Nope. I already did the buffalo check this morning and we're all clear."

Cosmo: "Is this a good place Zoe?"

Zoe: "Yes, it's a very good place. I love my family and my friends....but Cosmo, you will always be my very good friend too. I learned so much from you."

Cosmo: "I tried to teach you good manners."

Maxie: "Well, you missed the mark a little there."

Zoe: "Well, Jackie didn't do such a great job with you either."

Maxie: "Grrrrrr."

Cosmo: "We had a lot of fun playing together, didn't we Zoe?"

Zoe: "......and napping when we were tired."

Maxie: "If you were such good friends, how come Zoe is here with us."

Cosmo: "Well, I taught her everything I knew and I wanted her to learn and be fluent in a foreign lanugage."

Maxie: "Foreign language?"

Cosmo: Yes, I wanted her to learn to speak Chihuahua."

Maxie: "CHIHUAHUA?????"

Zoe: "I am doing pretty well, Cosmo. Chihuahua is mostly growling and yapping. I have a little trouble with that tongue roll that Maxie just demonstrated, but I'm getting it down."

Cosmo: "I'm glad to hear that, Zoe."

Zoe: "I love you Cosmo. You will always be my friend. I hope you come back and see me again soon."

Cosmo: "Be a good girl, practice your Chihuahua, and I'll see you soon. You will be my friend forever too, Zoe."
