“I want that chip… yes, that chip… that Pringle’s chip!”
“Are you talking to me again, dog?”
“Yes. I need that chip. If I eat that I will be a people again.”
“But I am eating this chip. I like Pringle’s. And I need energy if I am going to finish editing my novel Snow Babies. Let me finish eating my chips.”
“Look at my eyes. Can’t you see I NEED that chip? It is the most important thing in life that you give me that chip.”
“No, I will not look at your eyes. I know about your Beg-Eye super power. All dogs have it, and little dogs have it in spades.”
“Seriously, just look into my eyes!”
“Oh! Uh, I shouldn’t have looked into your eyes just now.”
“Smack! Crunch! Chew-chew-gobble! Um, yes, you should have. Always look at my eyes when you have food in your hands!”
“Well, maybe I need to start writing now. I am putting the food back in the pantry.”
“Awww! Shucksies!”
“Look into my eyes!” says Jade the talking dog. “You want to buy this book when it’s published, don’t you? Yes, I think you do.”
