The puppies walked home in silence. Jenny continued trying to convince her brothers and sister than she saw Brian in the clouds, but stopped eventually. None of them believed her. They looked up the street to see Barbara and Vinny on the front lawn fighting like the dogs they were.
"Mom!"
Barbara growled as she bit Vinny's tail. He growled back as he kicked her in the face, trying to get her off. Neighbors began gathering to watch the show. The puppies ran toward them, pulling their mother off of Vinny.
"Mom, what are you doing?" they asked. "What's wrong?"
"I have had it with that bastard!" she yelled.
"That broad's crazy!" Vinny said getting up and backing away from her.
"Finally!" they heard.
Everyone looked next door to see Quagmire watching. Vinny took this opportunity to turn away and leave while he could.
"Someone agrees with me", he said watching them. "She should be kept on a leash."
"You shut your (bleep)ing mouth!" Barbara yelled. "I have had it with you too!"
The puppies could see she was working up a sweat. Must've been from all that weight she gained. They also saw she started breathing heavily. The yelling must've taken a lot out of her.
"Mom?" Marcus said looking at her.
Barbara breathed heavily as she turned and walked toward the house, her legs shaking, trying to keep her up. She did not look good at all. The puppies especially got scared when they saw their mother gasp in pain and clutched at her chest.
"Mom!" the puppies cried when they saw her fall to the ground.
Vinny turned around when he heard the puppies. His eyes widened when he saw Barbara lying on the ground, face-down gasping for breath. He rushed to them and turned Barbara over.
"Hey, what's wrong, Barbs?" he asked.
"The pain..." Barbara gasped as she continued clutching at her chest. "Brian? Kids?"
She began looking around in a daze, not knowing what was happening. The last thing she remembered seeing was a long tunnel with a faint light at the end with a familiar face waiting.
"Brian..."
"Mom?" Jenny cried.
The puppies watched as their mother's eyes rolled into the back of her head. They started panicking once they saw she stopped moving.
"Not good!" Vinny gasped. "Kids, go inside and call for help."
"Is Mom going to be okay?" Briana asked.
"Go inside and do what I told you", he said pointing inside.
The puppies looked at Vinny and watched as he leaned over their mother. The four of them pushed each other inside to get help. None of them wanted to see their mother like this. They hadn't felt this scared since their father's accident.
"Come on, Barbs", Vinny said.
He grabbed her face and took a deep breath, breathing into her. He put his hands together over her chest and pressed down, trying to get her heart to beat again.
"Stay away from the light, Barbs", Vinny said. "Don't die like this."
