My husband Erik and I had promised the kids a Labrador puppy.
I'd seen the ad at the local hardware store. "Thirteen puppies in all," Sally, the owner, said when I called. "There're only three left." I decided to take a look the next day. The boys jumped and shouted excitedly as I copied down directions and hung up the phone.
Early the next morning, still discussing names, we wound our way through the mountains to meet our family's new best friend. Our boys had simple names: Ike, Sam, Ben, and Dom, so they preferred simple names like Rosy, too. Finally, we met the sweet little dog. "Rosy," the boys called it softly. Our little puppy cocked her head. "She likes it," they cheered and set about making Rosy comfortable for the long drive home. They offered her a chew toy and lifted her up so she could see out the window. They took turns holding her in their arms lovingly and offered her a snack.
Though small, Rosy grew strong and healthy beneath her shiny black coat. And, just as I'd hoped, she was a calming addition to our houseful of noisy boys. But something was wrong. "It's like she doesn't know how to play," Sam commented one day after school. "Dogs have different personalities, just like people," I said. "Besides, she's still very young. " "But her legs aren't very long, and one eye is smaller than the other," Ike added, trying to make sense of why Rosy was different from other puppies he'd met.
I looked across the room to where Rosy sat between the boys. The last golden rays of autumn sunshine shone brightly on her face. Sure enough, one eye was misshapen. Not only that, it didn't glint（闪光）in the afternoon light. I drew in a breath. Rosy, our puppy with a name as short as her four little legs, was blind in one eye.
