It's over a year since I wrote anything. Life seems to have intervened but then this idea occured to me and I enjoyed it as I started, just something small... like, girl has dog, introduces sister to same, mother walks in and says she'd like grandkids but she'll settle for a puppy. Well it didn't work out like that and I really don't know where it all came from. But there it is, as ever the narrative has gone off on a tangent all by itself and I just had to follow on.
