How to Tempt Fate: A Playlet, by Dianne de Mott
Characters:
- Dianne — Middle-aged, middle-class homeowner
- Casey — Old-aged, mixed-breed, medium-sized dog
- Lucie — Young mixed-breed, leggy puppy
Setting: Family/Dog room, with two large dog-crates, water bowl, various rugs and blankets strewn across the floor, dog toys in various states of chewedness, plus a couple of rocking chairs, a sofa, and a TV; the large entryway has a homemade screen across it to keep the dogs confined to the room.
DIANNE: Can I trust you guys in here by yourselves for a few minutes?

Very entertaining. Mostly because I've lived that moment.
New puppy: Hey, is that some meat I smell on the table over there?
Casey: Huh?
New Puppy: Hey, if we charge this barrier together, we can bring it down! OK? All together now--
Casey: Huh? OK...
