Emma needs to prepare for her class's production of The Wizard of Oz, so she can't play with her puppy, Dixie, after school.
But Dixie does not understand. All the puppy wants is to eat snacks and play games. Usually, everywhere Emma goes, Dixie goes, too.
Instead, Emma must study her papers and practice saying her lines. Dixie tries to sit quiet as can be without barking or grabbing. Yet waiting is hard for an excited puppy.
