Arriving at the café, Snowball took a seat at one of the tables in the outdoor eating area. He made sure that there were three chairs at the table. Wearing a jacket, jeans and a fedora, he pretended to read the newspaper. However, he had his eyes on his target.

Two dogs eating at another table.

"What can I get for you today sir?" the waitress, a calico with a broken tail, asked. Looking up at her, Snowball set down his newspaper as he replied, "Coffee please. Also, could you do me a favor?"

"Sure hun, what is it?"

"See those two dogs there?"

"Yeah."

"I need to talk with them."

"I'll bring them right over."

"Thank you."

"No problem."

Smiling softly as he watched the waitress walk over to the two dogs, Snowball played around a little with a packet of sugar. Sensing that he was being watched, he tipped his hat up. The two dogs were looking at him. Now they were walking over. Sitting down in one of the chairs, the smaller of the pair asked, "You wanted to talk with us sir?" The large mutt next to him sat down without saying a word.

Nodding his head quietly as he looked at them both, a grin crept up on Snowball's face as he replied to the Jack Russell terrier, "Yes cuz the world needs you Mantle and Vapor."
