Cara Sue is filled with excitement because the day has finally arrived where she and her family get to bring home Sadie, a sweet-faced, floppy-eared, tricolored beagle pup!

After hurrying downstairs, Cara Sue quickly discovers that there are some things that need to be done before they can go get the pup. Can Cara Sue have a good attitude about waiting? With a loving reminder from Momma, Cara Sue has an opportunity to practice patience. Once everybody does their part to help out, they will all go and get Sadie from the farm on the other side of town. Cara Sue will soon be rewarded with a puppy in her arms.
