Sleeping in a bed beside the mutt, a Jack Russell terrier twitched his ear slightly...

Max matched Gidget's pace as they strolled in Central Park one fine spring day. They admired the beauty around them, neither saying a word to the other. They were both trying to think of the right thing to say. Clearing his throat, Max finally broke the silence as he commented, "Beautiful day, isn't it?" Nodding her head without hesitation, Gidget remarked, "Yeah, it is beautiful." Sighing, she rested her head on his shoulder. Max's heart fluttered with excitement and nervousness as he licked her cheek...

Smiling, Max's tail thumped against the edge of his bed.
