A Man And His Dog Nacho's POV
I finished this chapter 3 weeks ago, I'm sorry for update it so late...
I would like to thank my friend Anya who help me correct my grammar.
The stories in this chapter happen after EP 403.
Nacho is going to meet Sharon *Ta-da* in the second half of this chapter.
Chapter 2
It had been almost a month since Nacho had moved in with Andy. His new home is a comfortable place. The house is nice and the neighborhood is peaceful which made it very pleasant place to stay.
In the first few days, Nacho was curious about his new environment, so he did some searching around his new home everyday after Andy went to work, which always left Andy plenty of surprises everyday when he got home.
One of the biggest pleasure in the first two weeks was a "game" called "Hey I Found The Bag!" They had been playing the game since the first day when Nacho was left alone at home.
Andy always tried to hide the bag of dog food from Nacho, but the dog always smelt it out, poured out all the food and had an extravagant meal out of it.
Andy never realize that Nacho found the bag by sniff, he just thought he had a genius dog...
*Poor Andy...* Although this almost made Nacho laugh his tears out. Nacho did feel a little bit sorry about Andy and he really tried to tell him the truth...but unfortunately, Andy didn't understand his "language"...so they just kept the game going.
At first Andy hid the bag in kitchen drawers, some boxes behind the curtain, and once even under his laundry. Nacho always found it out either way. Andy assumed it was because all those spots are too low, which made them easy for Nacho to search. Therefore he decided to hide it to in a higher spot. One day, he hid the bag on the top level in his bedroom closet, which is about the same height as himself.
It took Nacho about 30 seconds to located the bag (as a dog, it is very easy to sniff out your food when it is in the room that you were staying at) and about 10 minutes to climb that high and reach the bag and spill dog food everywhere in the closet…
But, Nacho learned his lesson this time.
When he was trying to get to the top level, he reached a cloth which was hanging from the top level. While he was using it as a rope to climb to the top, the cloth was slowly slipping down because of his dragging. After he enjoyed his meal, he realised that the cloth had already slipped down to the floor and it is impossible for him to get off. The only thing he could do was stay carefully up on the closet for the entire day and wait for Andy to save him when he came back.
Luckily, Andy didn't come home late that day.
"Nacho, Nacho, I'm back, You miss me?" Andy called while he opened the door.
"Oh I miss you SOOOOOO MUCH!" Nacho responded when he heard Andy's voice.
"Let me see what you did today...Uhm.. Why is everything exactly where it should be? I can't believe my eyes.. Nacho? Nacho?" Andy called, moving around his home in search of the dog.
"Bow wow! That's because I spend the whole day up here!...Andy! I'm here! Come and help me!" Nacho barked to lead Andy to the bedroom.
"Aha! ... Here it is...you found it, AGAIN ...I KNOW I shouldn't be happy so early..." Andy finally found Nacho in the closet, although his words sounded like he was quite prepared the look on his face told a different story. It was so hilarious that it made Nacho "laugh" and roll on the floor every time he thought about it. But at the moment, Nacho didn't have time to laugh, the only thing he wanted was to get off the damn closet.
"Ennn..." Nacho waged his tail and looked down at Andy with his puppy eyes, his tongue hanging out as he reached a palm toward Andy.
Andy held his palm, but didn't help him get off right away.
"Do you want me to take you off?"
"Yes! Yes!~" Nacho blinked his eyes.
"Make a promise first! Promise me you will never climb up this high!" Andy said seriously.
*Of course! This is too dangerous!* Nacho rubbed his nose on Andy's hand and stared at Andy innocently.
"Is this a 'Yes' or 'No'? Give me a clear answer. Bark once, 'Yes'; twice, 'No'."
"YES!"
"Good!" Andy finally reached Nacho's body and took him off the closet.
"Let me see whether you've hurt yourself.." Andy checked Nacho carefully, when he was 100% sure Nacho was okay, he placed him down to the floor.
The moment when his feet finally touched the ground, Nacho was so excited. He barked, jumped, and waged his tail happily to Andy. *Andy, you have my word! I'll never do anything like this again!* Nacho thought.
"Well, seems like no matter where I hide this bag, my genius Nacho will always find it..." Andy touched the back of Nacho's neck and said, "Maybe I shouldn't hide it anymore, otherwise you may actually get hurt someday."
From that day on, Andy had never tried to hide the bag. He always left it in the middle of the kitchen on a huge plastic mat which Nacho could happily pour out and enjoy his meal.
Andy was such a sweet daddy who never got mad at Nacho, and it actually seemed like he really enjoyed all those surprises Nacho brought him. He never tried to train Nacho to do those stupid postures, or force him to do anything he doesn't want to do.
But, not today...
It was a normal Friday night, but Andy's behaviour was really abnormal. He came back early that night and took some dog shampoos out of a plastic bag, which made Nacho very nervous.
*He is going to wash me...* Andy walked softly toward Nacho, with a smile which actually was quite sunny and cheerful, but at the moment Nacho found it exceptionally creepy. He was going to wash Nacho, although Nacho himself didn't want a bath at all
"I hate baths! I hate baths! No! No! No!" When Andy was carrying him to the tub, he twisted his body, kicked his legs, and tried to hold the doors, the furnitures, and the wall...whatever he could reach to keep him from going to the bathroom.
"Come on, buddy. You haven't had a bath since you arrived here... Wait! Wait!...Don't move!...Ouch!..."
"Bow wow! wow wow! I'm not dirty, I'm not stinky...HELP!...HELP!...LET ME GO!..."
But no matter what kind of struggle Nacho put up, Andy finally got him in the tub and carefully washed him.
"See? It's not that hard ~"
"What ever... : ( " Nacho answered while he shook his body to dry his fur. *Now I really wish I had long hair like those old English sheepdogs so that I could throw water on you...*
"You look more adorable when you're clean!" Andy was smiling widely.
*Why are you giving me your idiotic 'I'm thinking about Sharon' smile? Does this have some thing to do with her? You are acting very different tonight...* Nacho thought.
"Look at you; clean, sweet, and handsome!" Andy said while he was wiping Nacho with a towel, "Sharon would love you ~"
"I Know it! ... I know you did this for her..." Nacho was excited because he had figured out Andy's intentions just by his facial expressions ...
"Oh wait... so you are saying that Sharon is coming?" Nacho cocked his head and looked at Andy.
"Sharon is coming to see you," Andy scratched Nacho's ear and said, "She wants to see you since I told her I adopted you, but she was so busy earlier in the month. You know, the psychologist's case and the super model's case, and then there's Rusty's Vlog thing. We don't even have time to have dinner together, though I hinted it when we were in the murder room and talking about the psychologist's killer last week but she didn't respond..."Andy said, and lifted Nacho out of the tub.
"And when we found that model's body, her dog Chella reminded Sharon to come and see you, but she's got Rusty's vlog thing to worry about which was kind of serious. Anyway, today, after we locked that pervert up and she finished her meeting with the judge, Sharon and I finally had time to make a dinner reservation for tomorrow night..."
Andy kept talking about his plan, but Nacho didn't really listened *Chella, wow~ what a lovely name~ Is she pretty? How old is she? Long hair or short hair?...Hmmm...I prefer long hair, that's more feminine... would be perfect if her hair is fluffy and silky...* Nacho started to think like every other male dogs…
Although Nacho didn't like to have bath, he did feel relaxed after he had been washed. In his dreams that night, he met a pretty Shih Tzu dog with red long fluffy hair named Chella. She is extremely lovely...
"Bow wow! No! No!" Nacho struggled seriously when Andy tried to make him wear a bow tie on Saturday afternoon.
"Come on, you will look more adorable in this bow tie."
"I AM adorable! I don't need to be dressed up." Nacho barked, "And that thing would made me look like an old man…... like...Provenza! I'm not wearing it! Wait! Wait! No!..."
When the doorbell finally rang, Nacho was sat in front of the door, his "bow tie" proudly displayed.
"Hi.." Nacho heard Sharon's voice when the door was opened. It was a soft, sensual voice. "Hi~" Andy respond.
*Gosh! What happened to your throat? This is not your normal voice! You are definitely gonna get 5 "+" on a voice sugar test!* Nacho looked at Andy.
Sharon stepped in with a gift box in her hands.
*I see lights! OMG, she is shining!* Nacho was totally amazed. *Wow! It feels like there are petals floating in the air when she stepped in. And she is much more beautiful in real life than in the picture.*
Andy gave Sharon a huge and softly sniffed her hair, she hugged him back and softly touched his spine.
"Bow wow! Don't forget me!" Nacho barked and wigged his tail.
"Oh you must be Nacho" Sharon let go of Andy and stepped forward to Nacho.
Nacho noticed that Andy looked a little bit disappointed and he is giving Nacho that "What? Why did you disturb me?" look.
"Look at you! So sweet and chubby..." Sharon held Nacho up in her arms.
"Chubby? I'm not chubby... I'm...OMG! Sharon is touching my head! She is touching my head! Her hand is so soft, and her scent is so sweet. It feels so good in her arms... I LOVE this woman! I LOVE her! If Sharon said I'm chubby, I'm chubby!" Sharon's soft touch on Nacho's head made him forget everything he was thinking. "Her smile is so nice, I wish I could lick her face and let her know how much I love her! And her hair... Oh I love her hair, so healthy, and lustrous, it touches so soft and silky ~~~ I wish I could sleep in her hair tonight..."
"Nacho, Nacho!" It was Andy's voice.
"Nacho! Stop pulling Sharon's hair!" Andy woke him up from his daydream.
"Bow-wow! I'm not pulling, I'm just touching...with both of my palms. "Nacho answered while his palms and nose were still digging in Sharon's hair.
"That's enough!" Andy carried Nacho away from Sharon's arms.
"Bow! Bow wow! Dude, are you trying to revenge me for interrupted your hug?" Nacho thought when he let go the last locks of Sharon's hair. He was waving his legs, trying to reach Sharon.
"It's OK, Andy." Sharon laughed when she was ran her hand through her hair.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I got him a gift." Sharon dragged Andy to the couch.
"Andy, could you give me a hand take off his bow tie?" Sharon said when she sat down.
"Bow ~Great! I don't have to wear this thing anymore ~"
"I'd love to ~"Andy answered and sat down side by side with Sharon.
Sharon leaned in and assisted him on taking off the bow tie.
After Andy took off the bow tie, Nacho wanted to take this chance and climb onto Sharon's laps. Andy quickly dragged him back down again.
"It's OK. It would be easier for me if he is on my laps." Sharon said as she was opening the box.
"Aha! See? Any problems?" Nacho waged his tail and comfortably climbed and laid on Sharon's lap.
Sharon had already took the gift out of its box. It was a cute red leather collar with a shiny name tag on it. Nacho's squiggles name is on the tag.
"Let me see..." Sharon tried to put the collar on Nacho while Andy held Nacho for her.
"His neck is thicker than I expected, I just hope the collar isn't too short..." Sharon said.
"Oh great, It fits! Just on the last hole..."Sharon said confused. "I bought this collar based on your description, maybe I didn't figure out his size..."
"No No No, my bad. I forgot to update you, this little guy has put on quite a lot of weight lately." Andy explained.
"Wow! Wow wow ! Are you saying I'm fat?! How could you say that?" Nacho stared at Andy and barked." My body is as perfect as khal drogo! I'm not fat!"
Andy didn't buy it. "See his little chubby belly," Andy turned Nacho up and caressed his belly.
"Bow wow! Wow wow!... "Nacho laughed and rolled on Sharon's laps, which made her giggled. "Andy, stop! Please! I can't handle this tickling when his fur is moving like that on my skin...hahaha.." She held Andy's arm to stop him.
"Bow wow~ It's because your skirt is too short..." Nacho laughed...
"How could he put on so much weight in such short period?" She asked after Andy stopped and she had finally been able to catch her breath.
"It's because he's a genius!" Andy said proudly. "You know, no matter where I hid his food bag, he always finds it and eats a lot... I've hidden it almost everywhere in this house, he always finds it.. I'm telling you, this dog, " Andy pointed at Nacho "he is a genius!"
"Well... Andy," Sharon giggled and asked "when you were hiding the bag, did you sealed it?"
"Huh?"Andy twinkled his eyes and stared at Sharon confusedly...
"Andy!"Sharon cleared her voice,"Nacho is a dog! He can smell things out!" Sharon said.
"Bow wow! Bravo, Sharon. I was trying to tell him about this for so long! Give me 5!" Nacho pressed his little palm on Sharon's hand.
"Oh My God! I'm the biggest idiot in the world, aren't I?" Andy rolled his eyes and pated his forehead.
Sharon shrugged her shoulder, tipped her head and gave him a sympathy as she mumbled something and softly rubbed Andy's shoulder...
Andy and Sharon went out to the restaurant later, with Nacho at home being bothered by his 'obese' problem.
He jumped onto the couch. It did feel harder for him to jump up to that height than it did a few weeks ago.
Luckily, Sharon's scent was still on the couch, which made him calm, and drove away all his troubles.
*Such a smart and sweet woman! Andy, you are so lucky!* Nacho thought.
