Once they drove up to her house and parked, Kyron hopped out and asked, “How about the chores?”

“They’re done for the moment,” she stated. “I figured I’d be damned if the animals would go hungry because of that asshole.”

“A stubborn one, huh? And what about coffee and breakfast?”

“No, I tried for coffee but it didn’t taste right so I skipped both of those,” she replied. “I felt bad leaving you at the vet’s office without a means to get home again.”

He shrugged. “I could have called a cab if I wanted to leave.”

“Didn’t even think of that,” she noted, with a wry look in his direction.

“And that goes along with being stressed,” he added. “So let’s get going. I’ve got dog food for Beth and Grace, but I don’t think it would work to separate Beth from the other dogs.”

“No, it won’t,” Miranda agreed, “and she’s certainly welcome to be with the other dogs, but we’ll have to see how she handles being in a society with a lot of other animals. It might stress her out.”

“I’ll bring her in on a leash,” Kyron offered. “We’ll introduce them as slowly as possible,” he said, with an eye roll.

“Yeah, good luck with that,” she teased. “Most of them are okay, but a couple could get a little possessive.”

“And they would sort it out,” he noted quietly.

“Without bloodshed?” she asked, an eyebrow raised.

“Without bloodshed,” he confirmed, “but, hey, let’s see how it goes.” He waited until she had the door opened and the dogs called back, before he stepped up with Beth. Her tail was wagging as she saw all the other dogs.

“She really is social, isn’t she?” Miranda stared at Beth.

“A lot of the War Dogs are, and they’re used to being surrounded by a lot of people as well,” he noted quietly. “It makes sense that being isolated, like she was, abandoned really, was the hardest thing for her.”

“Not to mention going from an environment, where every need was met, to one of trouble and chaos, and then finally she had to survive on her own.”

“Exactly,” he murmured. Going one by one, as Miranda calmly held them back and released them one at a time, Kyron slowly introduced Beth to them. Finally, with all of them having had a good sniff at each other, they gradually disappeared to various corners, except for a dachshund that seemed to be stuck at Beth’s side.

“Who is this guy?” Kyron asked.

“Rocky,” she replied, with a smile. “I’m actually hoping that maybe he’s more adoptable than most. A lot of people like the smaller dogs, and some people don’t always do so well with bigger dogs.”

“That makes sense,” Kyron agreed. “The bigger ones just need a little more work, but they also get a bad rap because people don’t always know how to handle them.”

She nodded.

“So do you mind if I put on some coffee?” he asked. “I promise I’ll go pick up some later.”

She shook her head. “You don’t have to do that.”

“Oh, absolutely I do,” he stated.
