Dinner was very subdued that night. Everyone was thinking about that day, and what changes needed to be made. It was Dad who spoke up first.
"This ends another Pugtacular. Tomorrow we go on with life. This was a fun and eventful day." "Not fun for me", Bucky thought, "Not fun at all". Dad looked at them as if to say, "don't challenge my statement."
A round of applause followed his statement. Dad took a bow.
"Nicely said,"said Mom."Nicely said," she said again, passing a plate of mashed potatoes to a very hungry Dad.
"Well, I said it from my heart. We need to settle down after Pugtacular. It was disappointing, yes, but not enough to make us cry,"Dad said through a mouthful of potatoes."Mmmmm, these are good!"
No conversation passed through the rest of dinner. Everyone was busy enjoying dinner. Eventually, everyone drifted off to bed.
Bucky lay awake for a while. He thought about the day ahead and what it would bring. Finally, he drifted to sleep.
