Description
How does an old woman who has outlived all her friends keep from being lonely? By naming the things in her life she knows she will never outlive – like her house, Franklin, and her bed, Roxanne.
Then a shy brown puppy appears at her front gate. If the old woman is too friendly, the puppy might stay, and she will have to name it. She can’t risk that. So she tells it to go home. But the pluck puppy has other ideas…
