Leaving and secrets
Time had passed and the pups had grown and were now six months. Reaching home one day Tramp found Vina talking to Orfeo and Colette.
"What's going on here?" Tramp asked.
"Tramp my human friend has offered me a home on the canal boat" Vina replied.
"What! Come on Vina your not thinking of taking it are you?"
"Tramp I am Mum and Dad I had to tell them".
"No Vina you can't you're a street dog you don't belong in a home. You can't become a house pet".
"I can Tramp I've been thinking about this for a week. Besides Iris is different form other humans, she is lovely and I like her".
"Mum Dad talk her out of it we are street dogs, she can't leave".
"Tramp listen to me Vina has to make her own choice it is her life" Orfeo said looking at his daughter.
"Vina my darling you must do what will make you happy ignore what Tramp says follow your heart".
"Thanks Mum but maybe Tramp is right I am a street dog".
"That's right you are".
"Lette" Orfeo said as Cosma walked up glaring at her sister.
"Mum make Vina stay" Cosma said.
"Cosma is right we are street dogs born and breed we don't belong in humans home, we are not house pets".
"Stop it all of you now sit down and listen there is something we have been keeping from you" Orfeo said.
"Now I want you to understand we did not do this to hurt you but we thought it best" Colette said.
"What do you mean?" the pups asked.
"I was one a house pet, I had a home in Snob Hill."
"That's impossible no it can't be true Mom you are a great street dog" Tramp said staring at his mother in shock.
"It is true Tramp for the first two years of my life I was a house pet, but then things changed. One day my owners kicked me out when they had a new baby. I was on the streets, starving and scared a few days later your father found me and agreed to help me. Well he introduced me to Trudy and the other Station Dogs, well after a few months we fell on love."
"All this time humans are horrible for doing that to you" said Tramp.
"But a home is also nice then" Vina said.
"Yes it is if the humans are nice people".
"No V if humans can do that to Mum then they can the same to you, stay here, this is where you belong" Tramp said.
"I'm sorry Tramp but I have made my choice, I am going to have a home with Iris" Vina replied.
"Traitor Vina nothing but a traitor" Cosma shouted.
"Vina come on lets all go and see you off" Orfeo said smiling at his daughter.
Reaching the river they found Vina sitting on a bench next to her younger brother both busy drawing. Seeing the group Iris ran up to them and scooped Vina up before looking at the others.
"You must be Yasmin's family I am glad that you are happy with me offering her a home. I promise to look after her, feel free to come and visit whenever you want".
With that the pair got onboard and Tramp looked at his sister seeing how happy she was. Unbeknown to him it would be the last time he would see her until years later.
