"We are not getting a pet."
*whines* But Xeno! A puppy!
Jessie lied down next to him and rested her head on his chest. She took his hand and intertwined their fingers, kissing the back of his hand before resting it with hers on her stomach. âIâll make some, oh, I donât know, fur repellant charm. Exempt to Luna of course..hm, I wonder how I could..â she murmured to herself while Xeno went off on a spiel about puppy-proofing the house. She giggled as Luna wiggled around to find a new direction. âShe is! Molly trained her. Luna knows sit, stay, roll over, and go out. Aka, go pee, but she wonât understand that command.â Jessie grinned proudly.
Jessie snuggled next to him. âThatâs one less thing to worry about, then.â He watched the puppy scoot around under the covers. âWhat if she falls off the bed? Should we put up puppy barrier pillows?And we still need to the do the other things first thing in the morning.â He wondered how much puppy food cost. And theyâd need a leash. How many dog toys did a puppy require to be happy? What else did they need? He needed to do research. A trip to the library and bookstore would also be necessary. âDo we have any books on puppies?â
Jessie smiled affectionately at her boyfriend. Little did he know (or perhaps, he was all the wiser), Molly had actually recommended Jessie keeping the dog as a test of sorts. For a child, yes, but first and foremost whether they could agree or compromise enough just like a married couple would. And as for the child test? So far, he had passed. âIf she falls off the bed we pick her back up, love.â She shrugged. âLive and learn. I donât own any puppy books, no..do you plan on researching?â Jessie could already see the gears turning in his brain and she kissed his cheek.
