Something Seemed Wrong
After 90 minutes, Brady returned to select up her canine. As quickly as she noticed Lacey, she knew one thing was improper.

Edison continued to suggest that Lacey was on this situation when Brady dropped her off. But Brady would have observed, and she or he actually wouldn’t have taken her canine to a groomer in that situation.
“I was like, ‘Why would I drop her off if she was that way?‘”
