“I know, sweetheart. But it’s only for a few hours.”
“A dog.”
“Only,” Tony’s voice was becoming aggravated, “for an hour or two.”
“Why would you invite a dog into our house?!”
“One, he’s a sweet dog. He’s been very non-aggressive when I dealt with him in the past when he broke into the backyard before. Two, there was a thunderstorm and I found him curled up on the porch against the door and even his ears were shivering.”
Don curled his lip up in a sneer, “So he was a little cold. He has his own house.”
“He was afraid! So I let him in.”
“And fed him… some of MY food and you let him on the couch in spite of the fact he’s already lifted his leg on the back door. He’s trying to muscle in on my territory! And if he thinks he’s coming into our bed……..”, a fang was exposed.
“I only have cat food and it was the dry stuff anyway. I put a blanket on the couch for him to lie on. Dogs do that marking thing to advertise that they’ve been there. Think it has something to do with not getting lost and saying Hi.”
“And the bed?”
“He’s not ours. As soon as it’s less wet out, the wizard across the fence will come and get him, if Fred doesn’t go home on his own. His Wizard contacted me via mirror less than 15 minutes ago.”
“’Fred’ can go home now.”
“Fred has been sick with some respiratory thing that’s going around. He thought he was able to go for a short walk in the fresh air and got caught in the rain.”
“He’s SICK and you let him IN? That does it. I need to go to the doctor right now.”
“Canine familiar flu is not feline familiar contagious.”
“Uh huh.”
Tony sighed, “I called our own doctor. The Wizard confirmed it per his own doctor too. You’re safe. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to go heat up some chicken soup for Fred.”
Don growled. From the next room he could see Fred silently laughing. Stupid dog.
