I love that dog. He’s part of our family.
And thinking about sending him to a new home made me feel bad. The guilt was too much.
That Friday, Rose and I decided to go out on a date. Just to clear our minds.
We went for dinner at our favorite burger spot.
Claire had agreed to stay with Zoey for a few hours.
At that time, Beau was in the laundry room. The gate was closed, per her request.
Everything seemed fine until my phone buzzed on the table while we were enjoying our meal. Claire’s name flashed across the screen.
I picked up.
“Derek!” she cried. “Beau… he tried to attack me! He went crazy when I picked up Zoey!”
I heard Zoey crying in the background. Claire was breathless.
