Olaf sits sadly on the front step of the pound, picking petals off of daisies as tears seep from his eyes. "She hates me, she loves me not, she hates me, she loves me not..." From around the corner, Niblet looks at him sadly. This is awful, he thinks. I've just broken up their relationship! I gotta do sumthin'. He walks casually up to the sorrowing Olaf. "Uhm, Olaf, I'm real sorry 'bout what happened. In fact, I think I might know a way t'fix it."

"Really? How?" Olaf replies dolefully.

"I'll come ta Gertrude's house with ya an' explain th' mixup."

"But she might not believe me..."

"Don't worry, Olaf, I'm sure she will. Jus' be yourself."

"Uhm...okay." Olaf replies doubtfully as he and Niblet then set off toward Gertrude's house.

Meanwhile, Squirt was feeling no better. Sitting on a flat rock in the middle of the field where he'd lost the last rose, with his chin in his paws, he gives a hearty sigh. "I can't believe I lost Fluffy's Valentine present. Oh, I wish that I had something just as nice to give her!"

Suddenly, his gaze falls on a large patch of flowers growing by the side of the road. "Hmm," he muses. "These look really pretty. Yeah, these'll be perfect!" He then sets about picking as many of the flowers as he can until he has an enormous bouquet of them. "Ahh, perfect. Fortunately, I'm pretty close to home, too; nothin's gonna happen ta these flowers!"

Upon arriving at Gertrude's house, Olaf gently knocks on the door. Seconds later, Gertrude answers. "Olaf?"

"Uhm, h-hello, Gertrude," Olaf nervously shifts from foot to foot; he was unsure of whether or not Gertrude would believe him. "I-I just came to say...I'm sorry about what happened at the restaurant. I never meant to say what I said. You see..." He hesitates for all of a second. "Niblet here has been giving me advice on what to say; he even helped me write the poems I've sent you."

"There was a li'l mishap with a pesky fly..." Niblet explains.

"He's got so much more of a way with words than I do; I was afraid that I'd make a fool of myself if I did this on my own..." Olaf continues, with a doleful look on his face.

"Why, Olaf, you never need to worry about such things," Gertrude replies kindly. "I love you just as you are, and you have a way with words yourself."

Olaf's face lights up upon hearing these words. "R-really?"

"Certainly, sweetheart. Just be yourself; you're perfect the way you are." She then leans over and plants a kiss on Olaf's cheek. Olaf blushes deeply and his heart skips a beat. "Thank you so much, Gertrude, you're so sweet. Happy Valentine's day."

"Happy Valentine's day to you, too, Dearie."

Niblet smiles and gives a small, contented sigh as he watches this happy scene. "Ain't love grand?"

Meanwhile, Squirt has returned to the pound, holding the new bouquet of flowers. "Gee," he thinks dolefully. "I hope these will bee okay." He walks casually up to Fluffy. "Uhm, h-hello, Fluffy." he nervously hands her the giant bouquet. "I got you these flowers for Valentine's day-"

"Ohh, a catnip bouquet!" Fluffy suddenly exclaims happily, as she takes the bouquet.

"Huh?" Squirt thinks. He hadn't even realized that the flowers were catnip!

"Ohh, thank you so much, Squirt! This is the most wonderful Valentine's day gift ever!" She embraces the Chihuahua in a big hug and plants a large kiss on his furry yellow cheek. Squirt blushes deeply as his own heart skips a beat. "Ahh," he sighs, holding his paw up to his face. "I'll never wash my face again."

Just then, a large dog walks by and dumps an entire dish of dog food on Squirt's head. "Well," Squirt muses. "Maybe just this once..."

The end.
