The sound of happy barks woke Emily. Looking out, she saw Buster, a golden blur of fur, bounding across her lawn, scattering her newly planted petunias. Her hands formed fists. Why couldn't *she* have a carefree dog?

She managed a tight-lipped smile. "He certainly does." Inside, she was consumed by the urge to rip up her garden and throw it at the dog.
