Zoe's Birth

At the downtown city dog shelter, there were 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. The first was a purple male with a dark purple coat and light purple hair. The other was female and was pink and had dark purple hair, along wth a pink dyed hair on her upper head. By the look of the female, she appeared to be huge in size as she was pregnant and the male was pacing around the cage they were in.

"Come on, Leslie, anything?" asked the male dog nervously.

"Patience, Howard," said the girl dog, now named Leslie, "we don't know when these little guys are coming."

"I know," said Howard through sweats, "it's just that I'm so nervous about being a father."

"I know," sigheed Leslie as she suddenly said seductively, "it seems like just yesterday, some brave and heroic dog saves me from that flash flood."

Howard, with a smirk said, "Yeah, and I just scored myself the prettiest pooch this side of DTC."

The dogs then nuzzled together. Suddenly, Leslie began gasping.

"What is it, honey?" asked a worried Howard.

As if to answer his question, a stream of liquid came in between Leslie's legs.

"My...water...just..broke!" said Leslie in between gasps.

"Oh no," said a worried Howard, "the babies is coming now?"

"YES!" shouted Leslie before howling in pain. The officers at the shelter heard the howling and came to the cage.

"Oh dear," said an officer, "get her to the shelter's vet right now."

Soon, Leslie is taken from her cage and taken to the vet downhall.

Later, Howard is pacing in a circle around his cage, anxiously awaiting the return of his mate. If she returns, that is.

Suddenly, his door opened and he sees Leslie being put into the cage while lying on a towl.

Howard came to his wife and said, "Les, how was it? Are you ok."

Leslie turned around to see him and said with a smile, "I've newver been better, dearie."

Howard gave a shock, "you mean...?"

"Yep," said Leslie happily, "come say 'hi' to your daughter.

Suddenly, a small fuzz comes on top of Leslie. It is a female puppy with a pink coat like Leslie's and having light purple hair like Howard's. She gave Howard's ear a tug.

Howard chucked as he tugged his ear from her mouth, "Well, this gal seems to be quite rough."

"Her name is Gail." said Leslie.

"Gail, I like that." said Howard with a smile.

Suddenly, there was a tiny noise. It was small, but sounded beautiful.

"What is that heavenly sound?" asked Howard,

"That would be your other daughter."

Howard looked across his wife's body and saw a small puppy with his coat colar and his wife's hair color singing slowly but profoundly.

"Wow!" said an amazed Howard.

"Her name is Zoe." said Leslie.

"A lovely name, for a lovely dog such as herself." said Howard as he picked up Zoe to cradle her.

With that, the parents were proud of their offspring and little did they know that thye would be even produer of them in the future.
