“WELL, THE GOOD NEWS is,” Tad told Aunt Sadie via cell phone from the front porch, “we found Buster.” Briefly he went on to explain. “The bad news is I think it’s going to take both you and Raymond to coax the dogs out from under there.”

Short minutes later Sadie and Raymond arrived. “Belle’s in heat,” Raymond told Abby and Tad.

“Oh, dear,” Abby murmured.

“And Buster can still be a papa,” Sadie explained.

“Make that double dear,” Abby—who’d never more acutely appreciated the miracle of life than she did since she’d been pregnant herself—teased. Wouldn’t it be fun, she thought, if Belle and Buster had puppies?

“The question is, how did they find each other?” Tad knelt down in the mud and helped pull a mud-caked Buster out “They weren’t exactly living on the same block.”

Sadie and Raymond exchanged looks and colored deeply.

“Okay,” Tad prodded, “what am I missing here?”

“They’ve, uh, met before,” Sadie told Tad and Abby reluctantly.

“We got them together,” Raymond explained a little less self-consciously. “Took them both to the park last week just before Belle went into heat.”

Sadie’s color deepened even more. “We just never thought they’d try to get together on their own!” she exclaimed.

“A little romance going on here, hmm?” Tad asked as he wrapped a drenched and muddy Buster in the towel Raymond provided and prepared to carry the mournful-looking bassett hound to his Jeep.

And not with just the lovesick pups, Abby thought as she studied the heightened color in both Sadie and Raymond’s faces. She’d thought they were getting a little chummy at the newspaper! How nice for Tad’s aunt. Maybe, Abby thought optimistically, Raymond would be the one for Sadie, and vice versa. “Well, the puppies—if there are any—will certainly be unique,” she said cheerfully. “I wonder what they’ll look like, given they’ll be a bassett hound-cocker spaniel mix.”

In unison everyone imagined it. And everyone groaned.
