Rosa finds a way rosa checked the find-a-pet website every single day after school. the young teen wanted a dog more than anything and would do anything to make her wish come true. her mother, sara, gave the usual chastisement, reminding rosa that pet ownership requires responsibility, that canines especially need care and attention every day. having practically memorized this speech, the teen rolled her eyes. "you have to look after them their entire lives, which can be more than fifteen years for small dogs," sara continued. "you can't change your mind mid-stream, like you did with gymnastics or soccer." rosa grunted acknowledgement before turning back to her laptop, where the world's cutest puppy stared out from the screen: an eight-month-old dachshund named hershey, with big, dark, soulful eyes. she scrolled down to see more, stopping short when she read about the $150 adoption fee. where could she ever find so much money? she had already saved $50 from the five dollars a week her father paid for with household chores. it would take twenty weeks to get another hundred, but only if she didn't spend a single cent that whole time. rosa had will power, yet not enough to spend nothing for five months. how could she earn money to pay the adoption costs while simultaneously proving her dependability? a jangle of the doorbell interrupted rosa's contemplation of this situation, and the ensuing racket announced aunt emilia and ccousin nicky's arrival. "what i wouldn't give for an extra set of hands," aunt emilia complained, dropping five large bags as her niece entered the room. "who knew little kids needed so much stuff? " sara laughed before commenting that maybe emilia should hire a mother's . "you're probably right," emilia acknowledged before asking sara for recommendations.
