A Pedigree to Die for
“Aunt Peg had the front door open before we’d even had time to get out of the car.
“What happened?” I cried as she came down the steps. “Are you all right?”
“I’m fine, just a little shaken.”
The herd of Poodles shot past her. By now Davey was used to them. He giggled with delight, found a tennis ball in the yard, and gave it a toss. Bedlam ensued as each of the six Poodles decided it belonged to her.
“Come inside,” said Aunt Peg. “Let’s get Davey settled, and then I’ll tell you everything.”
In t...he kitchen, I saw she’d laid in some supplies. She’d fixed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for Davey, and beside the plate was a pad of paper and a brand new box of sixty-four crayons. The combination would probably keep him occupied for at least half an hour.
On the counter were tuna fish sandwiches for us. I’ve never particularly liked tuna, but Aunt Peg serves food the way she does everything else, without options or apologies. We carried our plates into the living room where we’d be out of earshot.MoreLess
