Chase woke up to see Sylvia's blue fur.
He got up and went into the kitchen to drink.
On the way, he was supposed to look into their puppy's room.
He looked inside, there was blue, she had blue fur like her mother in two shades of light and dark, the color pattern was like his and she had his eyes.
Saw something that did not match.
She had a teddy bear.
Not that it was weird, but he had never seen it in particular.
It was a Labrador in an orange vest and helmet.
As if she sensed someone watching her, she woke up.
Part Dad ... yawned ... something wrong?
Nope. Did mom get you that stuffed dog?
I got it from someone.
From who?
From such a female dog, possibly a Labrador , she has chocolate fur, wings and a ball over her head. (Halo was too hard a word for her)
All Chase's suspicions are gone.
All right . Sleep well.
When he closed the door behind him, he said softly:
Thank you for taking care of her.
He could have sworn he saw the chocolate tail disappear around the corner
