The pup's head was cocked to the side as she looked up at her father. She was excited to hear why they had been a surprise. She certainly hoped that they had been a good surprise and not a bad one. At the sudden thought that they might have been a bad one an unbelievable sadness clenched her small heart for a moment. The girl didn't know what she would do if that were true. It would hurt her like she never thought possible. But as his grin shone down on her like the sun those shadows were chased away. Cambria smiled back at her dad and giggled once more as he poked her head. One overlarge paw batted at his hand. Oh, she just loved her daddy so much!
As the two adults continued to talk she felt as though she were a tiny mouse in the presence of giants. Their voices so far above her head, even though she could hear them just fine. She didn't want to be down here when everything what happening up there. The chocolate pup turned and placed her front paws on one of her father's legs, pawing at him to let him know she wanted to be picked up. Then she would feel more involved in what was going on. "Whas adopted mean?" The Marino girl had never heard that word before. Jefferson apparently counted this adopted puppy as one of his own, but how was being adopted different than just being someone's child? Obviously there was a difference or there wouldn't be a word to distinguish it.
