“We’ve been writing down ideas for the dog show,” Sadie said. “And I made us a schedule.” She held up the notebook so I could see it too.

My stomach did a flip, as if it had been tossed in the air like Banana’s bunny toy. It seemed wrong that Sadie and Isabel had been talking about the parade plans without me. Why couldn’t they have waited until I got there?

But Sadie’s eyes were shining proudly, and I knew she and Isabel had worked hard on this. I swallowed back the weird feeling and glanced at the page. “That’s great,” I said.

A funny look crossed Sadie’s face. I must not have sounded convincing.
