A conversation between Cubby and Sugar

Characters:

Cubby as Young Pup (YP)
Sugar as New Girl (NG)

Scene:

Standing on a street corner

NG:  Why are we standing on this street corner anyway?  We're not some do-wop duo.
YP:  Obviously, we're posing for a picture.
NG:  Than why aren't you looking at the camera?
YP:  I like to pretend I'm part cat and do whatever I want.
NG:  Well, you're big enough to be a puma
YP:  At least I'm not co-dependent, following the humans every move like you.
NG:  I like the humans...
YP:  yeah, but do you have to fawn over them?  You're not some mindless Bichon.
NG:  Thats low! And curly!  Take it back...
YP:  Fine.  Why you wearing that bow in your fur anyway?
NG:  It's not fur, it's hair.  And I like to look pretty for the humans.
YP:  ...said the Bichon
NG:  Hey!  Frise for you to say...
YP:  Sorry...
NG:  How's your paw doing anyway?
YP:  Oh, I faked that.
NG:  What!?
YP:  When the humans give you medicine, they wrap it in food.  And now that they've put me on a diet and stopped giving us treats, a dog has to get creative.
NG:  Well, if you never made them go to the vet, they wouldn't have put you on a diet...
YP:  Uh!  You're smarter than you look New Girl.  But you're no Zooey Deschanel...
NG:  Who?  Never mind.  But how come if you're on the diet, I'm not getting treats either?
YP:  Sympathy diet.  Besides you have to maintain your girlish figure.  What if the humans want to pimp you out for four more litters?
NG:  That's not going to happen.  Medically impossible.  Treats were my second favorite part of the day!
YP:  What was your first?  Stealing the toys out of my mouth?  That's annoying by the way.  Don't forget I'm a puma!
NG:  Nope.  My favorite is climbing on top of the Momma Human for some quality cuddle time.  Or a ride in the car.  I love a ride in the car.  Can't wait for a ride in the car.
YP:  You're crazy!  What?  Didn't they have cars in Texas?  My favorite is pretending I'm a puma out on the tundra stalking my prey and stealing the pizza crusts out of the garbage.  
NG:  Yeah, I'm the crazy one!
