Scooter by Ruth Kelley
Cricket magazine, May/June 2013
"Yeah, he's fun to ride. Gosh, Mom, Scooter's almost like my best friend."
"Jordan has a point," Dad said. "It's not like there are any other kids around to play with."
"Can we keep him, then?" I begged, trying to sound pitiful without whining. Mom hates whining. "I'll bet you'd like to ride him, too, Mom." Whenever we tried to get her to ride Taffy, Mom complained about being too high up from the ground. "He rides real easy."
"You might really get to enjoy riding, dear," Dad said.
Mom loves wild animals, so I said, "And I see all kinds of animals when I'm riding Scooter. I've seen does and fawns and coyote pups in the canyon. Even a bobcat."
Dad looked at Mom. Mom looked at Dad.
