No, he didn´t. Leader was really trying my patience today. I did not want to lose Sweetpee just because he was stupid. Before she went they did something with their beep-things, though. I had not quite figured out the beep-things but sometimes Leader talked to other humans in them. I hoped he would talk to Twotails now so they could find out what Sweetpee and I already knew.
Next morning Leader put on his running-clothes. Great, I loved running. As usual I did my warm-up by stealing his ugly running-hat when he put on his shoes and hide it under the couch. As usual he told me I was the most hopeless dog in the world and we loved each other and then the doorbell rang, which was not as usual.
Leader opened the door and it was them! Twotails had running-clothes too, and Sweetpee was as happy as I was, running with me like a mad thing, while having a tug-of-war with the running-hat. We had a glorious morning run, all four of us delighting in the togetherness and our bodies joy in running, me and Sweetpee running circles round the humans. They are so slow, in spite of being fast for their kind.
When we got back Leader finally took my advice and offered food and sneezedrink, that hot black drink all humans love whose smell makes me sneeze. I and Sweetpee lay in a heap under the table and I was happier than ever before.
Twotails found Leaders sweetsounder and she could play too. They wanted to play together and that was good, but even better was when Leader said that maybe I and Sweetpee could be together in the days when they were gone to do whatever human things they do most days. If we were together we would be less sad, he said, and I licked his face.
He licked her face by the door when they went home. It was a good lick, because both of them smelled very much stronger that they liked each other. I was no longer scared that our humans would fuck everything up and I would lose Sweetpee. They finally understood. But it took them more than a day to get there. Like I said, humans are so slow.
Next day we went to their Home. Sweetpee made very sure I knew we were in her place and that only by the grace of her good will was I permitted to exist there. Just like she should. But I hoped the humans would let us be in my Home when they left us.
Leader had brought his sweetsounder and they made sweet sounds together and they sang too. The sweetsounders sounded good together, their singing sounded good together and they smelled very good together. Then they put the sounders away and they were together on the couch and the smell got stronger and they licked each other´s faces and he touched her teats a lot and for humans apparently that was good thing.
Then they went into the sleeproom and they shut the door. Sweetpee and I had to stay outside but that was okay because we were together and we could hear our humans and they were obviously happy. Their together-smell was happy too, and strong enough to go right through the closed door.
It sure sounded like they were becoming mates and not just mating. Happiness was complete, lying there with Sweetpee, listening and sniffing.
We have been happy ever since and I think we shall always be happy. Sourgum is jealous, but that is not my problem.
