Neesie, one just has to look into those innocent eyes to know she is telling the truth. Besides, most animals don't lie, just my dog who tries to get a second dinner out of the one who didn't feed her.

Neesie

That's right! Just look into my innocent eyes! It's not very nice to call me an animal but I'm glad you see the folly in believing that scoundrel, Phoebe!

Neesie, I apologize oh so humbly; I can now see the folly of believing Phoebe. Brownie has that same who me look when she is pulling a con. So if you are missing socks out of your SS gift, it wasn't Neesie, but her conniving, little furbrat of a dog.

There might not be sock soup, but in the one camping book I have theres a receipe for using a sock to make coffee.

Neesie

Exactly! Phoebe will carry off anything that isn't bigger than she is . . . and then try to blame it on me!
June, are you sure YOU didn't snag those missing socks, on their way past you? You seem mighty eager to throw suspicion elsewhere, to be totally innocent. Just sayin' . . . .

Neesie

URF!!!!

It'd be so much nicer, if they'd throw pennies TO me . . . .

You could buy some sock with those pennies . . .

Nessie's house is closer to you . . .

We'll need a bakery that delivers. You and I are NEVER getting out of this hole.

If I have confused anyone about opening their packages, I'm blaming it on the dog.
