CHAPTER SEVEN
When Lizzie got home that afternoon, the house was quiet. She headed into the kitchen and found Mom sitting near the puppies’ box, looking upset. “Oh, Lizzie!” she said. “I’m glad you’re home.”
“What’s the matter?” Lizzie asked.
“I’m really worried about the little boy puppy,” Mom said. “Buddy. He just doesn’t seem — right.” She and Lizzie looked into the box.
Sure enough, the tan puppy was curled up in a tiny ball, hardly seeming to notice the way his sisters stepped all over him as they played tug-of-war with Snakey. “I think he’s shivering,” said Lizzie. She had never seen a puppy tremble like that before. “Poor Buddy!” she said. “Where’s Dad? Where’s Charles?”
“Dad’s not back yet, and Charles and Sammy just headed out to walk Rufus and Goldie,” Mom said, biting her bottom lip. She really looked upset.
“Mom, we have to call the vet,” Lizzie said. “Dr. Gibson will know what to do.”
Mom nodded seriously. “That’s exactly what I was thinking,” she agreed. “I guess I was waiting until Dad got home, so we could drive the puppy over to the animal hospital.”
“I don’t think we should wait anymore,” Lizzie said. Buddy looked really sick. He had hardly moved since she had started watching him, even though Skipper was nudging him with her nose. All he could do was lie there, shaking.
