We fell in love with the idea of having a dog. 

There was a woman sitting in front of a grocery store with a big cardboard box labeled “Free Puppies!” My brothers and I wore down our parents, “We promise to take care of the puppy!” The dog we chose was a scrappy brown mutt, earning her the name Mocha Almond Fudge. 

For several weeks we were the model dog owners. We took Mocha out on walks, gave her baths, and maintained her dog house. But as the novelty wore off, our enthusiasm for our dog waned. My dad eventually took on most dog duties, and we kids moved on to other interests. 

We loved the idea of having a dog, but the reality was a different matter.
