Cinder Dog!! Don't give up!! I agree with the others that with a little time and paw-twisting, Dad will come around. I think Dad's needing to ease into this one. (A coy but transparent move!!) But you perservere, beautiful Cinder! I think Stray is slowly but surely capturing his heart. Stray knows a good soul and kind heart when he smells one! Keep being the good, loyal doggie pal to Stray, and if need be, plead, whine and beg. You know, act cute and needy. I think that will help. Tell Stray to do the same. Please write us soon and let us know of your progress. Hope you can sneak him in tonight! Love you Cinder! You are THE BEST!!!! P.S. I think there's potential book material in this story!!
