“So do I. But we either put Rover and Spot in the kennel or we can forget about seeing all those great shows, like Robert Plant and The Moody Blues.”

“Well…”

“Well, what?”

“Okay, as much as I hate the idea, we’ll put them in the kennel.”

“Fine. You call the kennel while I call Ticketmaster and order our tickets for Bright Eyes. Oh, it’s going to be a great fall season!”

“Oh, Honey?”

“Yes, Zelda?”

“Now that we’ve figured out what to do about the kids, what about the dogs?”

“Don’t worry, Zelda. The Holiday Inn said they could take them.”
