Suzie was a blue dog. By no means the color, but by her attitude. She was seventeen years old so she'd been through a lot. Through out the years she'd been a loyal dog to her owner Jenny Wilson. Jenny Wilson had been a friendly owner towards Suzie. However, Jenny had gone through a lot too, after some serious medical issues she was no longer able to do the things with Suzie that she'd once done. This left them both very sad about getting older.

     The two were currently living in the very green state of Oregon. They'd moved there after Jenny's husband passed away. Suzie didn't like it much there, it was wet all the time. Whenever she managed to drag herself outside all she could see were trees and vines and other foliage. The very sight made her sick. She missed the beaches, the sunshine and the color of her old home in California.

      But now, every morning was grey. She didn't understand how she'd gotten so old and tired so fast. Jenny too was sad about their old age. It wasn't fun watching everyone around you have fun when you can't. Jenny however was excited that her daughter would be coming to visit her. Hopefully that would bring some joy to Jenny and Suzie.

     Laura drove up in her red car on a strangely hot morning. In her hands she was carrying non other than a puppy. Jenny and Suzie instantly lit up at the sight. The next few days the four of them enjoyed each other's company. But, then it came time for Laura and Cupcake to leave back home. 

     Before getting in the car, she handed the yellow puppy to her mother. 

     "Why don't you keep her," she said.

     Suzie's heart leapt, "really?"

    "Yeah!"

    So then Cupcake was there to give some joy to Suzie and Jenny.
