Wanting A Pet
It had been two days since Shayna and Ellie received the news that they were going to be big sisters.
It was a bright and sunny Monday afternoon in London as Shayna and Ellie were out on a walk with Donnie.
When the twins heard barking and saw a cute golden retriever puppy running their way.
The puppy started jumping on Ellie and giving her wet puppy kisses.
"Down, Boy!" Donnie exclaimed at the puppy.
The puppy grumbled softly.
"I'm not a boy," Ellie heard the puppy clarify. "I'm a girl."
"Do you have a name, or a home, or a family?" Ellie asked the puppy.
"Sadly," the puppy answered. "I'm a stray."
"I think we can do something about that." Shayna said to the puppy.
When the twins and Donnie went back to the manor, Shayna had the puppy in her arms.
The twins raced into the guest bedroom that was shared by their mother and father.
"Mom, Mom," Ellie said, holding up the puppy. "look what we found!"
"We can keep her, can't we?" Shayna asked.
"I don't see why not." Eliza said.
"Yes! We can have a puppy!" Shayna exclaimed.
Ellie turned to the puppy, "What do you think of Star as your name?" she asked.
"I like that." the puppy answered Ellie.
"Then," Shayna said gently. "Star will be your name."
