TWENTY-SEVEN

CRUNCH TIME

Brigit

She heard Frankie’s Juke pull into the driveway and stood up on the couch where she’d been snoozing to look out the window and bark a greeting. Arf-arf! Zoe, Frankie’s cat, didn’t bother to get up to greet their roommates. Cats had really bad manners. They were useless, too. They didn’t perform watch duty, and they couldn’t defend their human if someone broke in. They couldn’t go for walks with their person, either. Why any human would want one of the beasts Brigit would never understand.

Megan climbed out of the car with two bags in her hand. Brigit wondered what was in them. Bags could mean good things, like toys or treats. Then again, sometimes bags only contained boring stuff a dog would have no interest in, like shampoo and cleaning spray. Dare she hope there was something fun for her inside?

A moment later, Megan and Frankie came in the door. Brigit met them there, her tail wagging in welcome.

Megan looked down at Brigit, held up one of the bags, and shook it. “Got a surprise for you, girl!”

A surprise? For me?

Megan pulled a big dog biscuit out of the bag and held it out to her. Brigit gave it a quick sniff. This biscuit smells yummy! She took it in her teeth and trotted over to the rug, where she flopped down and attacked it. Crunch-crunch-crunch.

Zoe hopped down from the couch and ventured over to sniff at the crumbs.

Oh, no you don’t! Brigit warned her off with a growl. Grrrr. This biscuit is mine!
