Purple Nails and Puppy Tails Read Online Free

baking brownies for the Paws for Love was something new. “That’s the same shelter that Sadie’s the spokes-dog for!” Aly said.
    â€œI know,” Joan said. “It’s all Mrs. Franklin has been talking about.” She handed Aly a small plastic bag with two brownies inside. “Here’s one for each of you. I have to do Mrs. Howard’s nails now. See you both later.”
    By the time Joan was out the door, Brooke wasalready standing next to Aly, waiting for her brownie.
    â€œThis is soooo good,” Brooke said after she swallowed her first bite. “It’s really chocolatey, but I think there’s also something a little salty in there.”
    â€œAnd maybe some caramel? I like the crunch.” Aly examined the size of the brownie. “It could be a little bigger, though.”
    â€œDo you think people would pay money for Joan’s brownies?” Brooke asked through her second mouthful.
    Aly swallowed. “They already do,” she told her sister. “I bet Paws for Love paid a lot to have her brownies at their party.”
    Brooke shook her head. “I mean regular people. What if Joan made brownies and we sold them in True Colors? Then maybe we could give the money to Paws for Love to get bows and pretty collars for the old-timer dogs.”
    Aly stopped mid-chew. She didn’t want to talkabout dogs with Brooke, but this was an awesome idea. “I wonder . . . ,” Aly said. “I wonder if Joan can make cookies for dogs, too, and their owners could buy them. And maybe if we raise enough money, we could get puppy polish and give all the dogs pedicures.”
    â€œYou mean ‘paw-lish’ and ‘pet-icures,’ ” Brooke said with a smile. “Awesome!”
    â€œHi, guys.”
    The sisters turned around. They’d been so excited that they hadn’t noticed that Jenica and Bethany, the first two soccer players with appointments, had arrived.
    â€œWhat’s up?” Jenica asked. She and Bethany climbed up into the pedicure chairs and Aly filled them in. Brooke interrupted every five seconds with “It was my idea.”
    Aly would have to tell Brooke later that it wasn’treally polite to brag. “We also thought we could give them all pet-icures,” she said.
    â€œI love that idea!” Jenica said. “The dogs need baths, too.”
    â€œAnd maybe little sweaters,” Bethany added. “I mean, if you want them to look their best, they need cute outfits.”
    Brooke clapped her hands. “They totally need outfits!”
    Aly thought about bows and outfits and fancy new collars, maybe even bandanas for the boy dogs, then all the paw-lish they’d need for ten dogs. “I’m not sure if Joan’s brownies or doggie treats will make us enough money for all that,” she said.
    Brooke ran over to the sparkly teal strawberry that served as the Sparkle Spa’s donation jar and lifted it up. “We can donate all the money that people give us for polishing nails,” she said.
    Aly was pretty certain it still wouldn’t be enough.
    â€œWhat else can we do to make money?” Jenica asked as Aly polished her pinkie with Under Watermelon.
    Aly asked, “What else are we good at?”
    Bethany thought for a minute and said, “We can wash cars. Or walk dogs. I can feed my neighbor Mrs. Berman’s cat.”
    Brooke was starting on Bethany’s right foot when she said, “We’re good at polishing nails.”
    Aly stopped Jenica’s pedicure in the middle of her big toe. That was it! A polish-a-thon!
    â€œRemember when we did that math-a-thon at school?” she said, and started to polish again. Auden had held an event where people donated money for every math problem the students finished, and then all the funds were given to a hospital that treated kids with cancer.
    â€œSure,” Jenica said.
    â€œWell, what if we had a
