The Doctor's In Love (Pathway Series) - Plot & Excerpts
She always wore the same thing on the same days. She needed to be spontaneous sometimes, but that just wasn’t in her. Of course, going out last night had been spontaneous so score one for her! Marisol laughed out loud and her dog looked at her funny. “I know baby girl, you have to go out.” Marisol went and got the leash and clipped it on. Scruffy just laid there and refused to move. It was like a morning ritual. Scruffy never did what Marisol wanted her to do. Molly came running in and slid to a stop at Marisol’s feet. “You’re next good girl.” Marisol pulled Scruffy towards the door. “Who’s got to go do a good girl? Who’s got to go pee pee?” Scruffy slunk through the front door and through the carport, all the while Marisol chanting “Go do a good girl?” in the freezing cold. Scruffy the second was nothing like Scruffy the first. This Scruffy didn’t love Marisol the way the original Scruffy had. Marisol had been eight when they had gotten Scruffy the first and everywhere Marisol had gone Scruffy had gone. It didn’t matter if it was 2 steps away, Scruffy would follow. She had loved that dog more than anything in the world, but she had passed away when Marisol had turned 23. She’d had a good long life and in the end Marisol had lain beside her and told her that it was okay to go, that she’d be okay without her and that night she had passed away. After 12 years, Marisol still missed her girl and this Scruffy reminded her of her all the time until she would wake up. As long as she slept she looked like her, and then when she was awake she was aware of the differences, like the fact that she had an attitude. Scruffy stalked towards Marisol and she had this look on her little doggy face as if to say “you pull me out of bed in 35 degree weather to pee in wet grass and you look gleeful? I should pee on your feet.” Marisol opened the door and got Molly hooked up and took her out and was amazed at the differences in the 2 dogs. Molly was happy, all the time and just all around stupid bless her heart. She loped around and never acted as if she had a problem with anything. Marisol loved cocker spaniels and couldn’t see owning any other dog, but they really could get an attitude.
