Puppies were dangerous.
They were too cute and could make a sane person do anything to pet their adorable faces.
“This one has to be Bones,” Reva cooed. “He’s so cute and smooshie.”
“Smooshie?” King laughed. “Is that a good thing?”
Reva sighed and cuddled the puppy to her face. “The absolute best. If you don’t get these boys, then I will.”
“Whoa, whoa,” Hero called. “Pump the brakes.”
King pulled the puppy from Reva and cuddled him to his chest. “Find your own,” he growled.
Greta laughed. “Did you hear that Meg?” she called. Meg was on speakerphone while everyone oohed and ahhed over the puppies.
“I knew he was going to love them. You better send me a picture of Lo and the puppies,” Meg called. “It’s probably going to make my non-existent ovaries explode, but I need to see that man being cute and cuddly. It’s been too long since I’ve seen him.”
King rolled his eyes and pressed Bones to his cheek. “Take the fucking picture,” he growled at Greta.
“Oh, Lo,” Meg swooned. “I miss that growl.”
Greta swiped a couple of times on her phone and then held it up to King. “Done.”
“They both look good?” Meg asked Greta.
“They both look extremely healthy and just all around happy,” Greta reported.
“Good!” Meg cheered. “Pay the lady the deposit and find out when we can pick them up.”
“They’re only five weeks right now. You’re going to have to wait another three weeks before you can separate them from mama,” Greta advised.
“Aww,” Meg cooed. “I wish I could see them with their mama.”
“No,” King barked. “I know exactly what you are thinking, woman, and you are not offering to buy their mom.”
Meg cackled. “That man knows me too well. I’m gonna run. Get all the puppy snuggles, and I’ll talk to you guys later.”
We all hollered goodbye, and Greta ended the call.
I took in the scene in front of me and smiled. “Well, I can’t really say I’m surprised that these cuties are going to be the newest members of your family, King.”
Indiana was camped out on the floor playing with Brody. She had caged him in with her legs, and he was sprawled out on his back, getting belly rubs.
“If you guys ever need a dog sitter, just know I am always available,” Indiana sighed. “These boys are the cutest thing ever.”
“Get in line, sister. I will forever be available to take care of these beautiful boys,” Greta cooed at Bones.
“We’re gonna have to set up some type of visitation schedule,” Indiana pouted.
King handed Bones to Reva and scooped Brody away from Indiana. “How about you two go get your own puppies and stop talking about stealing mine?”
