Chapter 35

“There’s some of the food they’ve been eating, a new collar we didn’t have time to put on her yet, and a couple of toys in there,” Jai explained.

Kaos got up and held his hand to Padraig, who had sat down and seemed to be stuck under the puppies now.

“Thanks,” Padraig murmured as he let Kaos pull him to his feet while holding on to Little Red with the other hand.

“No problem.” Kaos turned and took the pack from Mia. “This is great. We got some stuff from Woodruff, but someone filled me in about the food being changed gradually and so on….” He grinned teasingly, and Mia giggled.

“At least you have someone to explain stuff to you. We were stupid enough not to keep an eye on the dogs while we were grilling in my backyard, and ta-dah!” Jai gestured dramatically at the puppies.

“Well, you know now and can tell anyone you know who hasn’t spayed or neutered their dogs,” Padraig said evenly, looking ever so attractive with the puppy in his arms and his expression all kind and soft.
