Taking Elizabeth Taylor for a walk, Charlotte decided to stop in for a coffee. She wasn't too sure if the dog would be allowed inside, so she made a very big deal of tying the leash up and kneeling down, to give her pet a great deal of pettings and babblings explaining that mommy will be right back, she's just going to get a coffee. She frowned slightly with worry when she could have sworn Elizabeth Taylor's ears perked a little and her eyes had a glint of excitement at the word coffee, but she made herself decide that she was just being paranoid, although she still might keep an eye on Dale and his interactions with the dog.

Finally coming in, she gave Kevin a smile and a wave when she spotted him there as she waited for her skinny skinny half-caf vanilla lattichino.

"Aww," Charlotte chuckled a little. "Thanks, Kevin, but she's a she. Elizabeth Taylor."

The name was said with the most absolute beaming pride one could imagine.

"Oh, my mother loved her," he commented, a bit sadly. "We watched her movies over and over."

He went to sit back down. "When did you get her?"
