Regina and Bill (1)

Bonnie had never met her real mother. For most of her life, she'd never even thought about it. She'd been adopted at birth by a couple of real sweethearts who were nearly 50 and had never had children of their own. Regina and Bill. Mom and Dad. They both had short gray hair. Bill was in the insurance business, Regina was a librarian. They kept a severely organized home. They had a cocker spaniel named Peanut Butter who could only hang out in the laundry room. Bonnie was not allowed to really play with Peanut Butter because of a 'genetic flaw' in the dog that caused him to urinate uncontrollably whenever he became excited or agitated, which are the only two states a dog can be put in while in the company of a child.
