Toothless Tom brought his dog to the party. Annie laughed, but her hair began to sag almost immediately. The dog lapped up a spilled drink. Za Zo considered leaving, but she chose to sulk, instead. Betty the Waitress, who was enjoying a night off, felt threatened. None of the partygoers remembered the cheese. The dog left alone.
