Erin couldn't sleep. She knew that Fritz was all right, but his brush with death made her realize that he isn't immortal. What would she and her mates do if they did lose Fritz? New Religion without Fritz would be like Texas A&M without Reveille یا the یونیورسٹی of Georgia without Uga. Of course, there are big differences. There have been several Reveilles and several Ugas. As far as Erin and her mates are concerned, there is only ONE Fritz, and that's how it will always be. Finally tired of tossing and turning, Erin got out of bed. She needed to get these feelings off her chest. She went to Paul's bedroom to talk with him. She gently tapped him on the shoulder and calmly asked, "Paul, are آپ awake?" He let out a muffled groan. "I am now." he murmured faintly. "What are آپ doing up?" She said, "I can't sleep, Paul." He asked, "Why? What's wrong, Erin?" She said, "I was just thinking about Fritz and what we would do if we did lose him." Paul said, "Erin, Dr. Wright کہا that Fritz is going to be fine. On سب, سب سے اوپر of that, he's not going to die anytime soon. He's only five years old. Chinooks can live up to fifteen years." Erin said, "But Paul, death is not a respecter of age. آپ know what happened to our childhood best friends." He said, "Yeah." She then said, "When Fritz is well enough, we need to bring in a new dog. I know آپ talked about getting another dog after Nunavut passed in March." Paul said, "Yeah, but where are we going to find another Chinook? It's not that مقبول of a breed." Erin remarked, "Who کہا we had to get another Chinook?" He said, "We'll discuss this later. Try to get some sleep, all right?" She said, "All right." She went back to bed. The اگلے morning, the members of New Religion were awake, waiting for the call that Fritz could come home. They received the call, and Fritz was able to come home. The veterinary technician کہا that he had eaten and was feeling much better. When Erin, Paul, Carl, and Lola arrived at the veterinary clinic, Fritz was pulling on his leash. His leg was still a bit swollen, and he still wasn't putting weight on it, but his strength was back and he looked much better. On the way back home, Fritz periodically licked Erin's and Paul's faces. He then moved to the front to lick Lola's hand. After they arrived home, Carl got down on his knees, and Fritz licked Carl's face. The foursome relaxed on the couch, and Fritz proceeded to lie down at their feet and sleep.
The اگلے day, Leila and Greeley took Paul for a walk on the ساحل سمندر, بیچ while Leila's aunt and uncle relaxed on the beach. Greeley said, "I can't believe today is our last دن here." Leila said, "I know. Vacations always go سے طرف کی so quickly." He said, "Let's make the most of the time we have." She said, "Yes." That evening, they had a seafood meal. They then began packing for their things so that they would be ready for their trip back home. Greeley کہا to Leila, "Thank آپ for inviting me to go on vacation with you, Leila." She said, "You're welcome, Greeley." He said, "We'll have to do some مزید fun things this summer." She said, "Yeah. That would be great." They settled into their beds to rest for the trip the اگلے morning.
The اگلے day, Greeley accompanied Leila and her aunt and uncle on a ride to the nearest beach. Leila's uncle drove. Leila's dog, Paul, enjoyed looking out the window at the sights. When they stopped for lunch, Leila took Paul out on a leash to "do his business". A few people stopped Leila and asked her, "What kind of dog is that?" Most people didn't believe her when she told them that Paul is a purebred German Shepherd Dog. Leila didn't mind, though. She was aware that most people don't know that Shepherds can be blue, especially solid blue like Paul. Around 6:00 that evening, Leila, Greeley, Leila's aunt and uncle, and Paul arrived at the property. It was a nice ساحل سمندر, بیچ house, and it was very pet friendly. They were all tired from their trip. After unpacking, they got رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا and relaxed for the rest of the evening. A few hours later, they called it a night.
Leila and Greeley had just finished their first سال of college. They were looking آگے to the summer. Greeley asked, "What are آپ going to do this summer, Leila?" She said, "I'm mostly going to relax and take it easy. What are آپ going to do?" He said, "I think I'll do the same, but we should do some fun things this summer. After all, summer doesn't last forever." She said, "You're right. We should do some fun things together." He said, "I'd like that." Later, Leila texted Greeley and said, "My aunt and uncle and I are going to the ساحل سمندر, بیچ this weekend. They کہا that I can bring one friend with me. I first asked Rita, but she can't come, because she's taking summer classes as well as taking on a summer job. Would آپ like to come with us, Greeley?" He said, "I'd love to, Leila." She said, "Great!" He asked, "Is your dog, Paul, going too?" She said, "Of course he is." The two دوستوں were looking آگے to their weekend getaway.
