"No, he ran away yesterday morning. We spent all night looking for him." Mac explained as he started to pet the puppy.
"OK, well, he will be fine in time, I put the cast on his leg and as long as he doesn't eat dry food, he will be able to eat without pain. I would suggest a lot of rest, only getting up when needed. Absolutely no running around. He will have to come back in a week to get the stitches out." The vet explained. "You can take him home if you'd like."
"How many stitches did he get?" Flack asked.
"He got a total of 150 stitches." She led the men to the counter where they paid the very expensive bill. The vet took out the IV and prepared Apollo to go home. She nodded at Stella and handed Mac a pill bottle. "Twice a day unless he starts to cry, then 3. But no more then 4 a day." She informed them. Stella lifted up the small pup and cradled him in her arms, lightly kissing his head.
Mac held the door open for her as they walked back to the car. As they pull up to Stella's apartment complex, she said her thank yous and good byes. "Wait!" Mac yelled after her as walked away. "You're going to need these. I'll walk you up to your apartment." He said, once again holding the door open for her. They waited in the elevator in silence as Apollo's little eyes squinted open. His tail started to wag immediately as he leaned up and licked Stella's face. She laughed as Mac only smiled. They walk up to the door "I don't have my keys." He told her. She grunted in frustration.
"In my pocket, i have my keys in my front pocket." She tells him, lifting Apollo away from her abdomen so Mac could get to her jeans. His face turned red as he struggled to grab the chain.
"How tight are these pants?!" He asked and finally pulls his hand out along with 5 keys. He finds the right one and sticks it in the door handle, unlocking it. He held the door open as she stepped past him into her closes the door and walked over to the counter to put the pill bottle and watched as Stella carefully laid Apollo onto a pile of pillows and his dog bed. "Do you need any help with anything?" He asked as he slowly walked to the door.
"No, i'm fine, thanks." She didn't even look at him as he walked out the door.
