Mission Impawsible

Something I learned in college was that when you’re sinking fast, you’d better hold your breath. Or maybe it was call Uber, I wasn’t sure. Anyway, my point was, I knew I needed help so I called Jack. (Jack is my on-again-off-again boyfriend and also Bailey’s brother who happens to be Max’s vet.) Max had done well training with Jack and Buttercup yesterday, so I hoped maybe if Buttercup was here, Max might learn a thing or two and quit eating everything we owned.

I was outside, behind my apartment, hoping Max would do his business sometime before the second coming, and daydreaming about a certain small town sheriff’s black hair and blue eyes, when Jack pulled up an hour later. Buttercup bounded out of his SUV, and I noticed Jack had a red mesh contraption in his arms.

“Hi,” he said, and pulled me in for a kiss.

My mind went stupid. My thoughts evaporated into the ether, and I started feeling gooey and a little too warm. Suddenly I wanted to climb under Jack’s t-shirt and get sweaty and do sweaty things even though I knew Jack was a total commitment-phobe. Right at that minute, kissing the sexiest man I’d ever known, I didn’t care. Probably that meant I was shallow. Or maybe depraved. Did not care, nope, nope, nope. I was a total sucker for a hot kiss, great biceps, and a nice guy with laugh lines around his eyes. But then Jack could probably turn me on picking pocket lint.

I was just starting to have really X-rated ideas when I heard a meow and jumped a foot back.

“Oh!” I squeaked.

“WOOF!” Max barked.

“Tilley,” Jack said, breathing just a little too hard.

Ha, good. I wasn’t the only one getting early onset Sexual Deprivation Syndrome.

I mentally doused my impure thoughts, then looked at the red, mesh thing and spotted Tilley inside. “What is that?”

“I made a harness with a cat carrier attached for Max. To tote Tilley around. Here, I’ll show you.”

He set the small mesh crate thingy on Max’s back and Velcro’d a couple of straps and when he was done, Tilley was contained and safe, and Max was euphoric.

“And if you want, you can unzip the top part here, and she can stick her head out. Even though it’s mesh on all four sides, she might like the air in her face if Max decides to do a run around the yard. Kind of like a dog hanging its head out of a car window.” He took something small from his pocket and attached it to Max’s collar. “A bell. So Tilley knows where he’s at. Also, Bailey said for you to always speak to Tilley when entering or leaving a room so she knows where you are.”

I was touched. “Thank you. What a kind thing to do.”

I thought Jack might do the “Aw, shucks” routine, but I should’ve known better.

Instead he asked, “How is it that Max gets better meals than I do when I come over?”

“I feed you.
