Do you have another fifteen flower names to match?
no. they don't have names, yet.
( but he concedes flower names are a good idea. )

no, not yet
have fifteen friends in need of puppies?
have fifteen friends in need of puppies?
No, but I have two puppies in need of friends.
it's possible for them to have new puppy friends without us getting a new puppy
you do realize that, right?
you do realize that, right?
I do. I want to bring them over when I meet them.
well, I suppose that'd be acceptable. they are certainly not too young to start making friends.
Aren't you the one who told me they have a better chance of getting adopted if they're friendly? I'm just giving them their best chance.
clearly, only knowing their fourteen brothers and sisters will be detrimental to their socialization.
I'll see you in a few hours. if you intend to get any sleep at all, you should start soon. and we'll come see them again in the morning, I promise.

You mean in the afternoon?
I'll sleep. Try to remember to eat while you're taking care of the dogs.

we will compromise and go whenever you wake up.
( like he won't be exhausted at all or something? )
I will. goodnight, love.

On a scale from one to I'm leaving you, how upset are you going to be with me if you come home to a puppy?
if you don't already know the answer to that question, we're going to have to look into therapy
though I am curious as to why.

I found him in the middle of the street on my way home from work. He doesn't seem like he's hurt, just a little too shaken up to bring anywhere. I figured you might be able to take a look at him.
( WHY DID HE GET A NEW HEART, THE PAIN... POOR PUP... )
no leash or collar? does he seem well fed?
I can try and check for a chip in the morning, but we haven't had any new reports of lost dogs. what does he look like?

No.
[ Take that for the three "no"s that it is, giving that much bad news is just overdoing it.]
He's small; dark fur, floppy ears, scares easily.
No one's been taking care of him.
[ That might be a big assumption, if Emma wasn't married to someone who has told her exactly what to look for. He's too skinny, his fur's too matted, he's in need of a lot of care.]

the poor thing.
( these days, Graham is a lot better than he used to be at hating humanity for their cruelty towards animals. sometimes it's hard to remember why. )
I'd bet he's dehydrated. how old is he, you think? either way warm milk is a good place to start.
I can be home in less than twenty.

Maybe about four weeks? I'm on it.
[Turns out Emma was listening when he talked about his work. It's not as good as having her pup whisperer husband at home, but it's a start.]
We can hold down the fort if you're busy, he's warming up to us.

I'm sure you can but I would like to help, anyway.
Do you remember where you found him? That's awfully young. he could be one of a litter.

I didn't have time to get a good look, he was the only one around and he was already frightened.
[Insert location here.]
Can you check it out on your way home?

I'll see what I can find, and get a patrol out to take a look
keep him warm and don't worry about a bath for now. just get him clean with a damp cloth. we can take him to the vet tomorrow.
is there anything else you think you might need? I can get it before I head home.

He's sticking close, I don't think I have to worry about keeping him warm.
I think we have everything we need, unless you think of something on your way home.

I doubt I will. you're better at this than you give yourself credit for.
I'll be hope as soon as I can manage, love. be good to the little one for me, will you?

Well, I do happen to know someone who's kind of an expert with things like this.
I will, I love you.
