“DADDY, I’M HUNGRY AND BORED,” Lola complains.
She flits into the kitchen, wearing a rainbow-colored tutu paired with a
fuchsia shirt adorned with a unicorn on the front. Her long blonde hair,
pulled back into a half ponytail and accessorized with a sparkly red bow,
sways as she spins to the rhythm of the classical music playing in the
background.
I chuckle at her dramatics. “I left a bowl of carrot sticks and blueberries
on your craft table.” I nod to the other side of the room. “You can eat those
while you wait for dinner.”
It’s no easy feat keeping a highly energetic five-year-old entertained.
“I love blueberries,” she declares.
“I know you do.”
She goes off in search of her snacks, and I turn my focus back to
preparing her lunch for school tomorrow. I carefully assemble her
lunchbox, filling it with cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, blueberries, cheddar
cheese cubes, hummus, and pita bread cut into the shape of a unicorn. The
final touch is a pink sticky note with have a magical day written on it.
After putting the packed lunch in the fridge, I gather the ingredients
required to make chicken noodle soup for dinner. The life of a single parent
requires juggling a never-ending schedule and a list of to-dos, but I
wouldn’t trade my world for anything. I place the carrots and celery on the
counter just as Lola’s infectious laughter fills the air. I look up to find her
with her face pressed against the sliding glass door, her eyes sparkling with
excitement as she surveys the backyard.
“Ladybug, what are you doing? I thought you were hungry.”
“I am, but there’s a dog rolling around in the snow. He’s so cute and
fluffy,” she exclaims. “Can I go play with him? Pretty please?” She clasps
her hands together.
Aside from her unwavering love for unicorns and rainbows, Lola’s
newfound fixation is Bluey, a cartoon dog. While she’s been asking for a
dog for the past few months, the addition of an imaginary one in our
backyard is a recent development.
“Maybe later.” I take a knife out to chop the vegetables when I hear the
unmistakable sound of barking from outside. I step over to the bay window
overlooking our backyard, and lo and behold, there’s a medium-sized dog
rolling around in the snow with its tongue hanging out.
What the hell is a dog doing in our backyard?
“Isn’t he the cutest dog in the whole wide world?” Lola squeals. “He
really wants to play with me.” She’s practically bouncing on her feet with
uncontainable anticipation.
“Ladybug, I need you to stay inside. It could be dangerous.”
The dog could have rabies. Its erratic behavior definitely seems
abnormal.
“He doesn’t look dangerous,” she states matter-of-factly.
“We’re not taking any chances. Stay inside,” I instruct in a gentle tone as
I put on my shoes.
She folds her arms across her chest, pouting as I open the sliding glass
door and step outside.
