Luann; Tell us your names

Cocoa; I’m Cocoa

Cookie; I’m Cookie

Tippy; And I’m Tip, Tip, TIPPY

Luann; Can you tell us a bit about yourselves?

Cookie; I am the best speaker so I’ll tell our story!

Cocoa; You are not, I am.

Tippy; Uhn Uhn... I am...ok I’m not the best, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like being the spokesperson for us...

Cookie; Quiet, both of you, I am the eldest by two minutes, so I get the honors.

Cocoa; fine, whatever!

Cookie; What was the question again?

Luann; Can you tell us about yourselves?

Cookie; Oh yeah, well we are triplets...

Cocoa; They can see that, Cookie, I told you, that you aren’t the BEST.

Cookie; SSSHHH! Ok, Ok, we are 8 months old and we weigh about 15lbs, and we aren’t going to grow much more, so we will all be rather petite.

Cocoa; Sheesh Cookie, they don’t care if we are petite!

Cookie; SSSHHHHSHSHH! We are a Beagle and Feist mix, and are all females.

Tippy; Cookie?

Cookie; What is it Tippy, I am talking!

Tippy; I don’t mean to be ticky, but you’re kinda boring.

Cookie; I am not!

Cocoa; Are so.

Cookie; Fine, anyone care to take over?

Tippy; I will, We are a fun loving set of triplets that love to play and romp and love on our people. The only problem is we don’t have a forever home yet. Ms. Cord, Director of the Elmore County Humane Shelter, says that we are sooo cute, no-one could possibly resist us, and that it won’t be long before we find a place to call home. So, we will wait patiently for you to come get us.

Cookie; Not bad Tippy, but you forgot something.

Tippy; I don’t think so...

Cocoa; Yeah, you forgot to tell them about voting everyday in the contest.

Tippy; What contest?

Cookie; The one where the shelter wins money.

Tippy; Well, I haven’t heard anything about it, why didn’t ya’ll tell me, now I look like a goofball...

Cocoa; Oh, you don’t look like a goofball, you look like a dodobrain! (Laughs loudly)
