Baxter
“Sure, there were a few cobwebs in the corners and the door was a little creaky, but it was clean and it didn’t smell at all yucky. Golden late-afternoon sunlight streamed through a big window in the back wall, warming the tiny building.
When Lizzie got back from the outhouse, Baxter was waiting for her, straining at the leash Maria held. “He missed you,” called Maria. Lizzie went right over and knelt down to give Baxter a big hug.
“Don’t worry, fur-face. I won’t leave you.” Baxter licked her cheek and wriggled in her arms. His furry eyebrows danced happily.
I was worried there for a minute, but here you are again. Yay!
Maria led Lizzie into the cabin. Mr. and Mrs. Santiago had opened all the windows and doors, and now Lizzie could see how cute and cozy it was inside. The wooden walls made it feel like a ship’s cabin, or a tree house. Mrs. Santiago unloaded a box of food, sorting things by feel and setting them on shelves or putting them into the fridge.
