Horoscopic

I hate to give her up, but I just can't fit a puppy in my life right now. Too expensive and too stressful. Dalmatians require a ton of attention and care. I'd try, but I just don't know if I'd succeed. And I want this little girl to be happy.

Okay....who do I know who might want a puppy?

Well, family's a good place to start. I'll call my sister...

Wow, Emily says that she may know someone! My nephew Roger has a friend, Parker, whose father told Emily he wants to get the kid a pet for a birthday present. Emily also says, rather pointedly, that Parker's dad is single and available.

Oh, Emily.

But I've gotten the number...calling....hi, this is Paige McNamara, Roger's aunt. Emily told me that....

He's coming over! Yipe!

Okay, that went pretty well. He and the puppy seemed to hit it off, though he still wasn't totally sure he wanted to get Parker a puppy, and a purebred puppy at that. BUT, he and I chatted for awhile and he seems nice. His name is Derek, Derek Johnson. Not bad-looking. I know it's too early to make this call, but....it's not just the puppy he hit it off with.

My luck may be about to change. I really think Derek will want this puppy for his son. And if things, ahem, develop between me and him...

It means the Leo prediction came true! But, lordy, it also means that Shirley's Capricorn prediction also came true! Like it said, my personal life is apparently about to change for the better!

So...does this mean she's right, or I am? Do the two predictions cancel each other out? Ah, well, even if I lose the bet, I'm not exactly complaining!
