Jan. 24th, 2019 11:58 amWhile it's certainly not the only thing Beth misses about Curtis or even at the top of the list, Beth has to admit she misses Fred pretty terribly some of the time, and so does Judith. They both love Anthony, but a cat just isn't the same as a dog, especially not a dog as big as Fred, and more and more often lately, Judith has been asking about getting a dog.
She'll be five soon, in just over two weeks, and Beth can't believe how far they've come. For a long time, she had avoided the idea of getting a dog, thinking they didn't have enough money or time to really take care of one, but things have changed a lot in the past few months, and Beth now has more time and money both. She's working at On the Downbeat less often, not needing to take as many shifts, and the money coming in from the album sales is getting better and better.
So maybe it's time they look at getting a dog. Judith is excited by the possibility and Beth sees no reason why they shouldn't. It's nearly Judith's birthday and Beth can use the dog to help her learn some responsibility. She won't put her in charge of much more than making sure the water dish is full, but it's something. It's a good, small start.
The weather is cool, but not that cold, so they're walking to the shelter today. Beth has a leash in hand, because they've made this decision and she had gone to the store a few days ago to make sure they had everything. She bought two harnesses, too, so they have something for a large or medium sized dog, and she's excited. So is Judith, if the way she keeps trying to skip ahead is anything to go by.
"Wait, wait, wait," Beth says, laughing. "I just saw Rapunzel in the coffee shop we just passed. Do you want to see if she wants to join us?"
"Yeah!" Judith answers, then turns and presses her hands against the window of the shop, slapping her palms against the glass to get Rapunzel's attention.
