It was fortunate for Petey that Cassie’s mom was a romantic or he would have been tarred and feathered that day. Thankfully she understood that Petey was a good guy, even if he was a bit single-minded at times, often to the point of danger.
On this particular sunny
Saturday, Petey came calling, bringing a sweet bouquet of posies for Cassie.
Her mom sent Petey to the backyard where Cassie was sunning herself by the
pool.
Just as Petey approached Cassie
with his eyes zeroed in on her face, his foot caught on the edge of her towel.
As Petey started falling, he grabbed the towel without thinking, sending Cassie
somersaulting into the pool with him!
Now here they were, drying
themselves off on a line Cassie’s mom had put up for them. Petey, still
clutching the posies, could feel the warm sun on his back. He shyly glanced
over at Cassie, who was hanging so close to him there was a ripple of static
between their fur.
He saw a promising smile touch Cassie’s lips, and he’d never
been happier in his life.

Just like Romeo and Juliet with parental approval. Sweet little story for this adorable card.
Oh how romantic. It gives new meaning to hanging out to dry! Very sweet story and beautiful picture.
I had to go in for a closeup of Petey… he has a certain 'boy-oy-oing' look in his eyes, right?
So darling, D... I thought we were going to have a bit of a pg-13 story when he grabbed Cassie's towel... lol. Glad you kept it so sweet.

I'm not much of a romance reader, but that story was just too sweet to pass up.
