I’m not waking anyone in this house. We’ve all been up since five, when my little sister, Reese the Wrecker, climbed out of her crib and turned on the TV in my parents’ room at full volume.“Twenty-two! Wa-hoo!” I sing louder, and hear a familiar growl come from my bed.The small lump could easily be mistaken for a pillow. I pull back the covers and stare at the white Cavalier King Charles/Chihuahua puppy who is shooting me daggers with his soulful brown eyes.“Morning, Milo,” I say, scratching him behind his long, floppy speckled brown ear. That stops his growling for a moment. “Is this too early for you?”My best friend, Ava, spotted Milo at a shelter when she was volunteering there and knew I’d be obsessed with him. I’ve always loved Chihuahuas and Cavalier spaniels, but knew if I ever got a dog, it would have to be a rescue. There are just so many pets out there waiting for homes!My parents weren’t thrilled with the idea of letting me adopt Milo with a toddler in the house, but Ava helped me write a lengthy speech to persuade them. She’s really good at speaking her mind, while I have a hard time even telling a server at the diner how I want my eggs cooked.Ava’s speech worked. I talked about how much I’ve always wanted a dog (fact!), and how responsible I am (I’m an epic big sister), and how I’d do all the dog walking, feeding, playing, etc., and they caved and said I could adopt him as a twelfth-birthday gift last November. Now they love him as much as I do and so does Reese, even if Milo is slightly terrified of her toddler tantrums.“You know you love Taylor as much as I do, even at the crack of dawn.” I start to sing again, and Milo starts to growl some more. I’m not sure why. Who doesn’t want to hear me sing about how twenty-two is the age when I’ll be happy, free, confused
