Chase blinked open his eyes, hearing beeping. "The hospital." He thought, but he didn't panic, knowing Ryder would be waiting for him. "Your awake!" He heard Skye. Chase smiled, "Y-yeah" He said back, his voice still hoarse. He heard someone walk in and noticed the nurse, "Ah Chase Your awake, that's great. I've already talked to Ryder. Your getting better already." Chase wagged his tail. Skye wagged her tail as well. Skye yipped, "I cant wait for you to eat back to the lookout! I've got a huge surprise for you. It was supposed to be a Christmas present, but it came a little early." Chase smiled at Skye. The nurse spoke again, "Yes, and there's a pup that would like to see you too Chase." Chase nodded that she could come in, and he saw a pup walk in. It was Clover. "Clover! You came back." Clover only nodded, having something in her jaws. She set it down on the hospital bed. It was the collar that Chase was to give to Skye. "Thought you wanted it back." The small pup squeaked, and left the room. Katie walked in, "Chase! We've all been worried." Chase barked a sorry and looked at the collar. "Skye doesn't need this collar. She's already beautiful. I'll propose some other way." "Katie could you do me a favor and give this collar to the pup that just walked out. She's a healer, maybe you could have a dog." Katie's eyes lit up, "I wanted a dog for a while, but I've been so busy with my business and looking for you." Chase smiled, "then you could get a dog. She knows how to heal. She healed me." Katie nodded and took the collar. Skye and Chase went back to talking to each other.
Katie ran out of the room and down the hospital ramp. She saw the pup turn the corner to the waiting room, her tail dropped. "Hey pup wait!" Katie called. The pup stopped and turned around. "What do you want." The pup barked. "I would like to have a pup. You look alone. I'm Katie." The pup's eyes widened. "I'm Clover. You really want a wild dog as a pet?" Katie nodded and kneeled down. She had the collar in her hands. The collar had small fake rainbow minerals on it with a heart shaped buckle. The buckle had a small diamond in it. Katie buckles it around the pups neck, where it was loose, and the pup got up and licked her face. Katie laughed and got up. "Let's go get you a bath."
Clover looked at Katie as she filled the last tub. Rubble and Zuma were already in one. Tracker went back to see Carlos for the day, and Everest and Snowflake went back up to Jake's mountain. Clover looked over a Rocky, who was beside her. "Water is gross." He barked. Katie laughed and picked up Clover. She placed Clover in a tub and Rubble barked, "It's not that bad." Clover smiled, "Better than that ice cold forest water."
Clover loved the feeling of the fur drier on her floppy ears. Yes, she only had just had it today, but it was warm and relaxing. Sage, Redwood, and Cinnamon were now getting a bath, and the rest of the pack was waiting for theirs. Katie did decide she would keep all the dogs in a cage in her parlor so they could get adopted. The cage was large enough for them and they could go outside because of the fence that wrapped around the back. Katie has apologized that it wasn't the best environment, but the dogs were okay with it because they had been in worse. All the dogs were in the cage, except for Sage Cinnamon, and Redwood who were now getting dried from their bath. Redwood barked, "I think I know the perfect place to live."
Cinnamon yipped as she and her parents walked down the sidewalk to a house. The house was light green with stickers on the windows. She giggled as she hopped up the stairs. Redwood got to the door where he barked to get someone's attention. The door creaked open. There was a tall lady with a baby in her hands. The baby tried to grab the dog. The women had long orange hair. Redwood barked, "Hello. I wish to ummm well, join your family. The lady looked at the dogs. "And you are?" Redwood blinked, "Oh I'm the dog that saved you. Redwood. This is my family. My wife, Sage, and my daughter, Cinnamon. My son is in the paw patrol. His name is-''Cha!" The baby screamed. Redwood continued, "Yes Chase, He's my son." The lady laughed. "Come in I suppose. I'll have to ask my husband first. He has a cat. Hope you guys get along." The dogs nodded and walked in. There were rubber balls on the ground and when they looked over to the right, there was a tv and some baby toys on the ground. The walls were a light yellow and there was a wooden staircase to their left. Cinnamon ran into the room with the tv. She went and nibbled on one of the toys on the ground. Sage spoke up, "Honey don't mess with those! They aren't ours." Cinnamon dropped it. "No no, it's alright." The lady said. "Oh dear I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Zoey and this little gal is Samantha, or Sam for short." The dogs barked a hello and laid down watching Cinnamon play with Samantha. "Be gentle, it's only a baby." Cinnamon nodded and continued to play.
Arguing erupted in the other room."No way can we have dogs! You know what they did to Oscar!" "But Honey..." "No! They killed Oscar! I'm not paying for another cat and I'm not paying for stray dogs!" Zoey stomped away and the man came in the room where the dogs were at. As he watched his baby crawl onto Redwood's back, he erupted. "Get you paws off my baby!" He stopped into the room and grabbed the baby. "Now scram!" Redwood barked, "We saved your on that mountian, remember? Your wife and baby was there too." The man gave a confused glance, "I didn't go on the mountain? You must have the wrong person." Redwood shook his head, "Your wife even told me so," The man fumed with anger, "Honey! Who was this man you were with on the mountain?" "My boss!" Zoey yelled from upstairs. The man looked back at the dogs, "Now leave my house." Redwood nodded and the family of dogs left and the door slammed from behind them. "That man mean." Huffed Cinnamon. Sage barked, "Let's just go to Katie's. We'll stay there for now." The sun was setting and they walked into Katie's. They didn't say anything, they just laid down in a bed and fell asleep.
