-2 days later- (Helga's P.O.V.)
I ran into the grooming shop, panting slightly. I saw Hannah at the front as I met her yesterday on her day off, and found that she was a employee of the shop that Tod usually goes every month to be bathed and slightly shaved. A woman pushed me as the nest door opened, and I was miffed, then shocked as I recognized the woman, it was Kherpe.
I furrowed my brows as I cantered forward, "Hannah, is Tod okay?". Kherpe snorted, "Why are you asking for the stupid cat? My dog deserves to be first treated.".
Hannah looked professional as she started to speak yet I saw quite a bit of annoyed frustration in her eyes when she heard Kherpe. I immediately knew that she is on my side yet she wanted to stay with her job and not get fired today. "Helga, don't worry, Tod is fine. He's just excited today which is unusual to us until we found why. Miss Kherpe, your dog, Mr. Kibble, is not hurt at all, he's just more peppy today since he met Tod.".
"What, did my Kibble get scratched by that mangy cat?!". Kherpe shrieked. Hannah bit her lip like she wanted to scream, as I shot back to Kherpe, "Tod is not mangy, plus he is Pita's cat, Tod is very behaved.".
Hannah then responded, "The boys are quite behaving well, yet they are unusually peppy and playing with each other, and no, they are not threatening each other, just dominating each other for rank.". Kherpe then asked, "Then what is the problem?".
"That's the thing, the boys are not separating from each other, and if we try to take them apart, they kick, scream, screech, bark until they are back together, then no noise.". Hannah concluded, giving us hints. I blinked, then gasped as I remembered a lecture from Pita last week when I saw a episode that had a couple of men who's married to each other. Pita said they were gay which means guy to guy in relationships.
I spoke, "Are they gay?". A gasp came from Kherpe as Hannah nodded affirmatively. Kherpe then snapped out, "If that dog is gay, he is not mine at all. Gay is disgusting! I won't pay the bill for that dog. Good bye!". She left with a swoop of her long pink shawl, her legs briefly showing her white pants as she left the shop, slapping the door.
Hannah sighed, "Well, at least Kherpe won't be coming for quite a while if I say myself.". I nodded to agree with her. I asked, "Are they both bathed, at least?".
A smile adorned her face, and she took out her phone, and tapped it for a moment, and turned it for me to see, and in the picture, I see Tod somehow still for his bath as I saw a dog next to him, smiling as he licked Tod's cheek, his breed looking like a hybrid of Coonhound and Bloodhound and Beagle. I didn't know why, but he reminds me of another dog I saw in recordings, known as 'movies'. I also saw my present in the movie that changed ultimately my outlook on 'him'.
I looked up and smiled reassuringly, "I'll have the boys back, please.". Hannah nodded, and asked, "I hope you are changing the name of the dog. He seems to hate that name, so we called him 'Buddy' as he is practically a dear friend of ours.".
I smirked, "Don't worry, I have the perfect name. And I'll pay both bills, Hannah.". She nodded, and left the table to tell the other employees and boss behind. I couldn't wait to see the look on Pita when he comes home not to two occupants, but three occupants in the house. This is going to be good.
