Chapter 19 The Pups Meet

• Jane
• When Linda calls me at work, telling me Riley has a fever of 103 degrees fahrenheit and they’re on the way to the hospital, I drop everything.
• Worry consumes me completely. I was already dealing with the stress of coping with Paisley’s imminent surgery, I can’t bear to have another pup on the verge of death. It’s not as if my kids have never had high fevers before, but a mother’s mind never rests, and no matter how hard I try to stay calm, my protective instincts are thrown into instant overdrive.
