The Couch

Gidget: Hey Duke. Are you awake?

Duke: z z z z z z z z z z z

Gidget: Hey Duke! Wake up!

Duke: OK, OK, I'm awake already. What's so important

that you gotta wake me from my nap time?

I'm only on my 18th hour today you know!

Gidget: Sorry about that. But I was wondering.....

Duke: Here we go again.....

Gidget: Hey be nice. I was wondering if our couch

was ever coming back. Do you think it will come back

someday Duke?

Duke: I don't know Gidget. If it does great. If it

doesn't, just be thankful we have these little

doggy beds to sleep in.

Gidget: These little doggy beds suck.

I miss the couch.

Duke: Just shut up and go to sleep Gidget.

Gidget: Hey Duke, I forgot to tell you, If anybody asks

about my knee, you can tell them it is all better now.

The Doc said I don't need surgery after all, and I

can run around like a puppy again!

Duke: That's great Gidget. I'll be sure and do that.

Gidget: And.......I REALLY miss the couch Duke.....
Duke: Goodnight Gidget............

More Changes

Gidget: I don't know Duke. I don't think things have

changed all that much.

Duke: Oh c'mon Gidget. You're kidding yourself. Things

are way different around here. Especially since...

....."The Incident".

Gidget: You said we wouldn't talk about that anymore.

Duke: Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot.......

Gidget: Don't even bring it up anymore please.

Duke: OK, OK, I'm sorry. But besides that, think

about how different things are around here.

Gidget: I try not to.......

Duke: Remember the couch we used to spend all

of our time napping on?

Gidget: I love that couch......

Duke: Well you may have noticed it isn't here anymore.

And what about the giant TV that we used to bark at.

Gidget: Oh yeah. Good times.....

Duke: Yeah, well those good times are over cuz

that TV is gone!

Gidget: I think I saw it at "The Crazy Man Who

Lives Next Door's house.

Duke: And what about "The Gate"?

Gidget: Oh, I HATE "The Gate". It keeps us locked

in the family room when new people are here!

Duke: Yeah well, you don't have to hate it anymore.

It's gone now too.

Gidget: Hooray! That's a good change!

Duke: Is it Gidget? Is there such a thing as a

"Good Change"?.......

Changes

Gidget: I don't get it Duke. I don't remember us going anywhere.

Duke: That's because we didn't actually go anywhere

either. We just haven't been around.....

Gidget: You're confusing me.....

Duke: Well that doesn't take much.

Gidget: Don't be mean.

Duke: Sorry about that. But I think you know what

I'm talking about.

Gidget: No. Don't say it......

Duke: Thing's are different now....

Gidget: Nooooo. Please don't say it...

Duke: Our life has......Changed.

Gidget: Why Duke? Why did you have to say it?

I don't like change!

Duke: Believe me Gidget, nodoggy likes change.....

?

Gidget: Hey, where did everybody go?

Duke: They didn't go anywhere. They've
been here all along. We're the ones who've been gone.

Gidget: Well where have we been?

Duke: Thats a long story Gidget.....
