writing doodle - come on duke

"Come on, Duke.  We can do this," Paige said as much to herself as to her Irish setter.  She didn't want to start obedience school now or ever, but her mother, Erica, was going to come for a visit and was afraid of all dogs.  Even placid dogs who just wagged their tales shyly around strangers.  Her rambunctious two year-old didn't like to listen or obey unless it served his own agenda.

She hooked the leash to his slip collar and crossed her fingers.  This was going to be a growing experience for both of them, no matter what.  Besides, Duke didn't play well with others at the dog park.  Plus it might increase her own confidence at work.  After all, if she could handle Duke better, maybe she could handle her boss.

Then again, maybe not.

Oh come on! Don't stop! This is such a cool beginning, I just have to know more! Does Paige train the boss too? Etc. Romance novel start for sure.
