Unforeseen Obsessions

She sat down to dinner with her parents and Peter. Her mom made her famous beef stroganoff and blueberry cobbler for dessert. Peter was quiet during dinner, but her parents successfully filled in the silence with conversation revolving around Corky.


"By the way, dear, I bought a cute little doggie tuxedo for Corky to wear to the wedding. After we're done with dessert, I'll put it on him so you can see how cute he looks in it," her mom said, beaming proudly.
