Lizzie snatched up the envelope. “It’s from my pen pal!” There was her name, in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope: Allyson Thatcher.

Mom smiled. “I noticed that it’s addressed to ‘Lizzie Sarabeth Peterson,’” she said. “What’s that all about?”

Lizzie waved a hand. “Nothing,” she said. She stared at the envelope, noticing the special gold-trimmed dog stickers Allyson had used. She’d never seen those before. She loved the one of the Jack Russell terrier. It reminded her of Rascal, who was still one of her favorite foster puppies even though he had been a handful. Lizzie walked away, heading for her room. She couldn’t wait to open Allyson’s letter.

“Lizzie!” said her mother. “Aren’t you going to say good-bye to Judge Thayer?”

Lizzie looked up to see her mother frowning at her. Oops. Maybe she had been a little rude. “Good-bye, Judge,” she said. “It was nice to see you again.”

Judge Thayer smiled understandingly. “Nice to see you, too,” he said.

“And, Lizzie,” her mother added, “I think Rocky needs to be taken outside before you go up to your room. And don’t say Charles can do it. Dad and the boys are at the park with Buddy.”

Lizzie let out a sigh. Normally she didn’t mind taking care of their foster puppies. In fact, she loved it. But right now? When she had a letter to read? “He’s sleeping!” she pointed out.

“Mmm-hmm,” said Mom. “Guess you’ll have to wake him up.”

Exasperated, Lizzie went over to give Rocky a nudge. He woke with a snort and rolled over, paddling his paws and glancing around with a dazed look in his eyes. His mouth fell into an upside-down grin when he spotted Judge Thayer.
