Chapter 27
The first thing Ted said when he came home from his schooling that afternoon was, “Can we go get Bishop?”
“We sure can, kiddo.”
It was a short drive to the vet’s office, which was located just across Roosevelt Boulevard from the Roosevelt Square Shopping Center. After a brief wait, an attendant brought Bishop into the reception area where Chris and Ted were waiting, and the puppy was all over Ted the moment he spotted him.
Chris paid the bill, and they headed outside to Mabel.
“As soon as we get home, you need to let him out into his run, Ted. He’s practically peeing with excitement already.”
“Yes, Sir.”
The minute they got home, Ted took Bishop to his run before he came upstairs to the den where Chris was looking at the meal schedule.
“Can I try one of the recipes in the cookbook Paula Deen gave me?”
“Sure, but try to find one that you can make with ingredients we already have. I’m too tired to go to Publix this afternoon.”
“Yes, Sir.”
