Say Good-Bye (2008)
“Maggie commands.
The basset hound’s rear end hits the ground.
Maggie turns toward me, a smug smile on her freckled face, a challenge in her gray eyes.
Something inside of me ignites. It’s Saturday morning, and we’re out in the yard. Maggie’s been told by Gran to give me some extra help with my dog training.
But she’d better watch out, because I’m mad at the world. Mad that a wonderful dog like Yum-Yum has to get sick.
I’m determined now to train Sneakers. And I know I need help. But I think my ...red-haired cousin is using this opportunity to show off instead.
Okay, so she grew up with animals and I didn’t. So she’s been able to watch Gran work in the clinic all these years. So she’s ahead of me when it comes to understanding animals.
But there’s one thing Maggie doesn’t realize about me that she’s about to learn: I’m very competitive. At the private school I went to in Manhattan, I got straight A’s and was known as “the girl to beat.” Mom raised me to shine, and I worked hard never to disappoint her.MoreLess
