A Dog Named Cupid Read online

Page 5


  The dog didn’t make eye contact, just hung his head and made another of those sad little sounds.

  “What’s your name?” she asked gently, kneeling so she didn’t tower so above him. He didn’t answer, of course, but when she reached out to rub the top of his furry head, his tail thumped her soaking welcome mat.

  She looked out into the dark yard, but there was no one with him.

  “Well, my little darling, I don’t know where you came from, or what your name is, but you came to the right place.”

  As she scooped him up, she felt his little body tremble. “You’re scared and wet and I’ll bet you’re hungry,” she cooed, saying whatever came into her head in an effort to soothe. “How smart you were. You must have seen the light and followed it.” She couldn’t imagine all the dangers that lurked out there for a newly-weaned pup. No wonder he was shaking.

  The Dog Days of Summer

  Married. She was getting married in a few short weeks. Erin Nash tried not to hyperventilate when she thought about everything she had to do.

  It was going to be a small wedding. She and Jared had agreed on that almost as soon as they decided to get married. Good. Small weddings were good. Except that she had a family who didn't seem to have the same concept of small as she did.

  "Oh, and you have to invite Uncle Eric, of course," her mother had said just this morning on the phone from Vermont.

  "Uncle Eric? The last time I saw him I was wearing braces."

  "He's your uncle. He'd be very hurt if you didn't invite him."

  "Fine." She sighed. "I'll add one more to the list."

  "Well, he can't come without his family."

  She knew how much her mother was looking forward to seeing her only daughter get married. Still, she had to work on breathing calmly as she asked, "How many is that?"

  "Well, his wife, your aunt Irene and their four daughters."

  "Good. Six more. That's fine." She was almost certain most of the people her mother wanted to invite wouldn't come all the way out to Kaslo, Washington for the wedding of someone they hadn't seen in more than a decade. Almost certain.

  "This wedding is growing faster than you are, Cupid," she said to her constant companion, the Border Collie who'd brought her and her fiancé Jared together. He was moving from puppyhood into a full-grown dog so fast he seemed to change every day. When he heard his name he trotted over and put his head on her knee, gazing at her adoringly.

  She patted him. "Don't worry. You'll get roped into this too. Sadie thinks you should be a ring bearer but I'm still holding out for best man."
