I've been reading this book. It took me a long time though because it's so boring. I think the author has good intentions but it's definetly a slow read. I can imagine a group of 55 year old high class women meeting once a week to read and discuss this book. But, I'm not so sure about me.
In this point in the book, life is good for the Levin family. They just moved from their home in Reston, Virginia to a brand new house near Potomac River. His son and wife decided that it was time for Pepsi (the family dog) to have a furry friend.
After visiting the local shelter, the entire family agreed on adopting a tan and white dog which they named Sprite. Sprite adapted to the family, home and Pepsi very well. Neither of the dogs attempted to claim alpha dog, which surprised Mark. Within moments of seeing the dog, Sprite became part of the family.
Halloween came and Sprite had a health scare. While Kendall was handing out candy to the costumed children, Sprite suddenly collapsed. They took him to the vet and it was concluded that his issue could have resulted from many things, but that for sure he was older than they had guessed.
Sprite and Pepsi became inseparable. They did everything together. They went on walks together, ate every meal next to each other and even followed each other around the house. The family, though concerned for Sprite's health, felt ecstatic about adopting Sprite.
