I lay at the end of her drive-way, waiting for Raisin to come out and give the OK. I heard some yelps and wines coming from the garage. It kinda upset me but, I knew it was going to be worth it.

Finally, Raisin's small form appeared in front of the garage door. He took off running toward me barking, "Marmaduke, they're okay! Come and see them!" He stopped in front of me and panted.

I got up off the ground and shook myself. It's time to meet your new family, Marmaduke. I gathered up the courage to trot to the garage entrance. Once I was there I stopped dead in my tracks. This is it, Marmaduke.

On the couch lay Mazie and our three pups. They were beautiful. Mazie's head shot up as she caught my scent. "Raisin says they're all males. And I've already named them since I went through the pain." I agreed with her. She pointed to a fawn with gray patches, "This is Cloud." She moved on to the next one, a white male with black dapples. "This is Diesel." Finally Mazie gestured to a fawn with black paws. "And this is Blaze. What do ya think?"

I nodded. "I like those names. You should get some rest."

Mazie settled her head down. I licked her and whispered in her ear, "Goodnight."
