Remember that ridiculous idea we had last summer to get a dog? And then we named him Finn and he had the audacity to be cute and make it so I couldn’t get rid of him? Well, today the people who got his sister are coming over and bringing her so they can play together. Her name is Rosie and I can’t wait to ask her owners if she is a crazed lunatic like Finn and chews up their sofa. I also can’t wait to see if they want to take Finn home with them in the name of keeping the family together. It could happen. But she’s probably gonna be all long eyelashes and shy and well behaved with a little pink ribbon between her ears. And she’ll roll her dog eyes at her stinky brother because he’s too hyper and has cooties.
I’ll be sure to take some photos of the two of them together. Because I know that the week before Christmas you have nothing better to think about than my ridiculous dog playing with his perfect sister.

Hi Emily, I just got “caught up” on you. And wanted to say that I love the settled title for your book, that I love your heart for highschool students, and I adore your writing and mad photo-skillz. Just sayin.
I hope you guys are having a glorious holiday season.

Your dog has more playdates than my kid is going to have. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as dog playdates. Do you think we have been neglecting Big Bunny by not letting her play with other rabbits? (Before you answer that, remember what she used to do to the other rabbit when we had more than one.)

I remember when you got Finn, I think it was the same time I got my Bogey. he was a rescue dog (they had already killed 2 siblings!) and he was SUPPOSED to be a beagle! He is def NOT a beagle! Some kind of pointer/hunter with tons of energy and speed! Wish I could harness some of it! At 30 + pounds, he still thinks he’s a lap dog,lol!
Can’t wait to see pics!

I hope Finn enjoyed his playdate! My little Asher loves to play with his brother! I love that my best friend and I got brother dogs. It is so special when we get together and they get to see eachother…they just know they are brothers!

In a crazy coincidence, I know the people with Finn’s sister! LOL. I saw Kelly at church on Sunday and she said she’d met you and had a play date. The world gets smaller every day.
That’s so funny! It’s not weird, either – if I knew where my cats’ siblings were, I would totally set up play dates.
