Making the decision to expand his family a bit and include a dog couldn’t have come at a worse time - not even a week into owning the little guy, Hurricane Selena hit Wilmington, and Cole found himself having more togetherness with the rescue than he’d anticipated. Brownie, or his full name Brownie Brows, as dubbed by his son that Cole had more recently gotten the opportunity to grow closer to, hadn’t even gotten a full check-up after adoption due to the chaos following the storm.
Now, it was finally possible for Cole and Brownie to slip off to the vet for a full work-up, especially since there were a couple of minor concerns as a first-time dog owner the scientist had that had been weighing on him. He was in the waiting room with Brownie, a rottweiler who was in his middle ages, and more quiet and calm than most of the other dogs waiting. The door opened - and Cole looked up expectantly, but froze in his seat, jaw dropping slightly when he realized who stood there.
Arlo. Cole stood suddenly, still gripping the leash in his hand. At first, he had about a dozen things he almost said, but then he regained composure. “You moved back,” He observed, voice even. “I didn’t realize.”
