"Good morning, Gigi.

What are you doing?"

"Bonjour, Bella.

"I am decorating my hat for the town fair.

"Maybe I just need a new hat."

"Do you really need more hats, Gigi?"

"Let's go shopping!"

"But look at that rain cloud, Gigi."

"Don't worry, Bella.

"That's what rain hats are for."

"What if there is thunder and lightening?"

"The weather man said it's just a little rain shower."

"Look at these hats!"

"Gigi, it's starting to rain!

Is that a truck going by or thunder?

Are you sure it's just a shower and not a hurricane?

Wow, a puppy!"

"He's the last of the litter."

"Gigi, can I keep him?"

"You know how your dad feels about pets."

"Please."

"Let's give it a try.

"Au revoir!

Goodbye."

"Hi, dad.

"Can I keep him?

"Can I get a--" "No."

"Can I get a."

"Can I get a, achoo!"

"Bella, I don't think a dog is good for us right now."

sigh I think Blue would be good for Bella.

"I think you may be right.

"Okay, let's lay down some ground rules.

"No dogs on the couch.

"No dogs on the bed, and no... slurp licking."

"Thanks, dad."
