July 4th weekend was going to be big. Carrie could just feel it. The firework displays were supposed to be fantastic this year. She had been preparing her flower shop all week, and the orders just kept pouring in. Carrie had the only flower shop in the entire town, and that made sure everyone called her for flowers when special occasions came up. One day she got an unexpected phone call. A little dachshund had been found. Her friend needed someone to take care of it. Carrie loved dogs, so she quickly said yes. Picking up the dog, she named it “Sprinkles”. She took the little dog back to the flower shop. Sprinkles was playful, and she loved to smell the flowers while Carrie worked on the flower arrangements. Suddenly, Sprinkles did something amazing that Carrie couldn’t believe. She started handing Carrie flowers. This smart dachshund gently pulled each flower free and held it up for Carrie to use in her arrangement. “Maybe I should have named you Flower instead of Sprinkles”, Carrie said as she took the next flower the puppy handed to her.
