The sun showed through the window the next morning and Putzie opened his eyes and stretched.
He greeted Twinkie, "Mornin' Li'l Twinks! Time for breakfast!" He looked but noticed that the doggie bed is empty.
"Twinkie?" he called out. He called her name as he searches everywhere for her.
He looks in the kitchen and she wasn't there.
"Ohhhhh… So you wanna play hide and go seek! Huh? Well you're really good!"
He went over to the kitchen door to the backyard and then calls out, "Li'l Twinks? Twinkie? Hello?"
But no such luck. She wasn't there.
"Twinkie! That's not funny! Come on out!"
He ran back in the house and looked everywhere except upstairs.
"Are you upstairs?" Putzie asked, then he went up the stairs and looked in the bathroom, and nothing is there, and then her parents bedroom, and nothing is there either.
The last place he checked is in Jan's bedroom and all he found is a pile of stuffed animals.
Putzie knows that Twinkie did this. "Alright Twinkie! I know you did this!"
He heard snoring from the pile and then before he can ask what it is, Twinkie yawned loudly and stretched before jumping of the pile.
"Twinkie!" Putzie shouted really glad that Twinkie is alright.
He kneeled to her and asked, "Were you here this whole time?"
Twinkie yawned again and then shakes her body as a reply.
"Well, don't do that again ok. And you're not supposed to be up here anyways." He looks around Jan's bedroom for a moment and it was really cute. Stuffed animals and all.
Twinkie barked and whimpered.
"I know… I forgive you. I know your sorry." '
Then Twinkie barked excitedly and licked him and went to the doc.
"Breakfast or bathroom?" He immediately asked her and then says, "I'll let you out and i'll make breakfast for you!"
Twinkie walked out the room and went downstairs as Putzie let her outside and then made breakfast for her and himself.
"I gotta teach her how to use the doggie door," he says to her as she came back inside.
Twinkie barks and Putzie teaches her about using the doggie door.
"You go through this and you'll be outside in no time!"
She barked again and then looked at the doggie dog and whimpered feeling scared. Her ears sank low as she gets scared.
Putzie tried helping for over ten minutes until he thought maybe a treat would help. He took a treat and put it on the other side of the doggie door and Twinkie went halfway over it, but got stuck.
Putzie smiled a the picture and then gave her a boost up and she went outside.
"Good job Li'l Twinks! Now come back!"
Twinkie came over and hopped halfway over and nearly got stuck again, but came over.
Putzie applauds her, "Good job Li'l Twinks!" He pets her head and gave her a kiss before they both sit down to have breakfast.
She wags her tail after eating and went to the living room to play. Putzie remembers that he doesn't have to go to school today because it's Friday, so he's very lucky that he can take good care of Twinkie.
