Year 5 of Us

Tuesday

"I've found them!" Lacey said as we were finishing lunch.

"Found who?" I was the first to ask the question, but everybody else joined in.

She was looking at her phone, smiling. "Our new dogs!"

"Our new dogs?"

"Yes!" She leaned past Sam and looked at me. "Remember, a dog for each of the babies?"

"Oh, yeah!" I looked over to where LB and Sherlock were lazing by the door to the deck. "So, how many places are we going to have to travel to today?" She grinned and held up her index finger. "One?" She nodded. "Really?"

"The rescue wants to meet us this afternoon." She showed me her phone, and the pictures I saw were adorable. "This is Princess, this is Charlie, and this one is Teddy."

I laughed. "He looks like a Teddy Bear." Lacey nodded, grinning.

"Are you willing?"

"Of course!" I looked at Duncan and Sam. "After naps, or before?"

She looked at both of them, then shook her head. "Let's do it now. This will wear them out enough to sleep this afternoon."

So, with a lot of giggling and laughing, we prepared for the trek. We got everybody into the van, including LB and Sherlock, who were always excited about going in a vehicle. Lacey was behind the wheel, using her GPS to get us to the rescue.

Once there, we were introduced to the Rescue Center's director, Julie Partlow. She was pleasant but seemed a bit surprised when all of us unloaded from the van.

"My goodness, there are lot of you!" She smiled.

Lacey introduced all of us, then indicated Roni, Tina, and Willi. "They're just staying with us for a while, but they're part of the family."

"So, the new dogs will need to get along with them, too," added Julie. "Well, the three you're interested in are good friends and they tend to get along well with other dogs." She gestured to LB and Sherlock, who were sitting beside Mir and Cathy. "And who are these cuties?" Julie asked as she stepped close to Duncan and Sam, who were standing between Lacey and me.

"This is my son, Duncan, and his twin sister, Samantha," introduced Lacey. They both offered their hands, and Julie shook them, smiling. "Cathy is holding her daughter, Jean, with Sherlock beside them." Pointing, she added, "This is Miriam, holding one of her twin daughters, Haley, with LB beside them." Julie looked surprised, then greeted them all happily.

"And who's the gentleman holding the little redhead?"

"This is Wyatt, and Haley's twin sister, Olivia."

I shook Julie's hand and saw her settle her mind. She led us inside to a large room. "This is our meeting room. If you'll be seated, we'll bring in Princess first."

Lacey nodded, so we took seats. Lacey sat with Duncan and Sam on either side of her, and the rest of us sat further along the row. I smiled when Lacey spoke to the dogs.

"Everything is fine. The babies are safe and you're going to meet some new friends." They both looked at her and wagged their tails.

"Why did you have to reassure that the babies are safe? If you don't mind me asking." Julie was curious.

Lacey smiled at her. "LB and Sherlock are very attentive to the older twins. They also take protecting the younger ones very seriously."

"Oh!" Julie nodded. "Of course! Well, let's bring in Princess first," she said as they brought the first dog in. She was beautiful! A lovely dark grey and tan mix. "Princess is a Shepherd-Husky mix. Her previous family had to move to another state and into an apartment."

I watched as Princess walked in, her ears and head up, her eyes alert as her tail wagged slowly.

"Oh, poor Princess!" said Lacey. We all sat quietly as the handler let the dog lead her over to us, making her way down the row of seats. Her tail wagged more quickly as she greeted LB and Sherlock. I was proud of both of them -- they simply sat there, their tails wagging. When Princess reached Cathy, who was holding Jean, she simply sat and stared at my daughter.

I watched closely as Jean leaned forward with Cathy holding her steady. Princess pushed her muzzle closer to my daughter, then I heard Cathy say, "Soft, Jean. Soft like with LB and Sherlock."

Jean made a happy noise, then rubbed her hand over the dog's nose. Princess's eyes closed and her tail began to wag slowly from side to side. She inched closer until she could lay her chin on Cathy's knee, Jean rubbing her gently the entire time.

Jean looked at me, her smile wide as she kept petting her new friend. "Do you like her, Jean?"

She leaned forward until she kissed Princess on the top of her muzzle.

Lacey looked from Jean to me, then to Julie. I nodded, then Lacey said, "I think that we have a new family member."

Julie smiled. "Good!" she said as the handler gave Princess' leash to Cathy. "Okay, we'll bring Charlie and Teddy in together, if that's okay?"

Everybody nodded, then the handler stepped through the door as two more people with dogs came in. Julie pointed to a Beagle mix. "This is Charlie. He was dropped off here, with his four siblings, by a family who couldn't handle that many dogs." His head was up, and he seemed eager.

He stopped by me, took a sniff at Olivia, then locked eyes with Haley. She looked at him, giving him a baby smile before he pulled over to her. There were many giggles and puppy licks as they got acquainted. Charlie seemed very excited.

I smiled at the scene. "And that's another addition to the family, I think." There were six adult nods.

Julie gave me a big smile, then had the third dog brought over to us. This one was very small, and he looked like a... "This is Teddy. He was a stray puppy who looked horrible. His fur was all matted, but he was healthy."

"Because he looks like a teddy bear?"

Julie nodded. "Perfect name, don't you think?"

The handler brought him directly to me and Olivia. The little guy was fascinated by her, and she returned the favor. I slipped off the chair and sat her on the floor in front of me. Teddy was very excited, and he sniffed Olivia everywhere he could reach. She was giggling, a lot, and gently patting him.

"And now, we have another family member." I looked at everyone, seeing nothing but smiles.

Julie looked at me, then at Lacey. "We need to do some paperwork, then they'll be ready to go."

"Okay," Lacey said. "Let's get everybody off leash and let them play while we're doing that."

Julie smiled. "Great idea!"

"Yeah, it looks like Sherlock is going nuts just sitting there," I replied. "Let them off-leash!"

What happened after that was hilarious! First, all five dogs met in front of us, sniffing each other as tails wagged like crazy. Then, Sherlock took off, followed by Princess, Charlie, and Teddy. LB seemed to sniff, then walked over and lay down between Duncan and Sam.

"Why isn't LB joining in?" wonder Willi.

Cathy looked at her, smiling. "She's a very dignified, older lady. Besides, she's getting attention from both of the twins." Sure enough, while Duncan and Sam were watching the other dogs run around and play, each of them had a hand on her back, gently rubbing her.

This went on for a while as Lacey and I filled out a couple of forms, paid the fees, then collected whatever belongings the three new dogs had. I smiled when I saw that Teddy had a Raggedy Ann toy that seemed well loved.

"What's with this?" I asked, tapping the toy.

"Oh! Whenever we get a dog who had nothing, we let them pick out a toy for themselves. Teddy feel in love that and sleeps with it."

I just nodded and smiled. "Well, we'll make sure that Andy stays with that cute puppy boy!"

Julie flashed us a smile. We were finished with our tasks and the dogs were finally slowing down. Lacey leaned closer to me. "I noticed how Princess would go over and check on Jean." She smiled at me. "Charlie and Teddy the same thing with Haley and Olivia."

"I guess they were making sure that the babies were still there." I turned and looked around. "Let's get ready to take the new family members home."

As the ladies started to stand up, I saw Princess, Charlie, and Teddy trot over to the door they had come through. I met them there, followed by Lacey and Julie. All three dogs were standing patiently, looking at the door.

I knelt down, my movement attracting their attention. "And just where do you three think you're going?" Princess looked at me while Charlie and Teddy lay down. "It's time to go home!" I reached out and hugged Princess, then scratched Charlie's head. That earned me two tails wagging, but Teddy looked so sad. I rubbed his ears, getting his tail to wag, too.

Julie reached past me, hooking a leash on each collar. I stood, then took the leashes in my hand. All three dogs came alert. I started walking towards the exit, guiding them to my left side. I was pleased to see LB and Sherlock join our little group, without their leashes. At the door, Tina opened it for us, then we headed for the van.

Once there, I was able to get the back open one-handed, then got the ramp deployed. Once that was down, Sherlock went up it, then turned to look at the newcomers before going in and taking his place on the mat. One by one, the others followed him up and took spots on the mat. LB grandly walked up last, following Teddy. She poked him once when he stopped, then stayed close as they went into the van.

"Well," Lacey said, "I think LB has found a little one to care for." Lacey's smile was huge as she walked around to load Duncan and Sam.

"I think you're right," added Cathy, who was carrying Jean as she stood next to Mir and Willi.

Soon enough, we had everybody in the van, and I drove us home. Lacey and Mir sat in the back, talking to the new pups, reassuring them that they were going home.

"Hey, Hon?"

"Yes, love?"

"Can we unload in front of the house?"

"Sure! Why?"

"I'm going to use LB and Sherlock to help the new puppies learn the boundaries."

"Oh. Great idea!" As we pulled into the driveway, I got us parked in front of the house. Once all the people were out, Lacey and I went to the back door. She got LB and Sherlock out first, taking their leashes before getting them down the ramp. I got a grip on the other three leashes and led the newcomers down the ramp.

"Love, remember that Teddy has short legs."

"Oh, yeah!" She laughed softly as Sam walked closer.

"What do, Mama?"

"We're going to let LB and Sherlock help teach the new puppies where they can go. Do you want to come with Daddy and me?"

Sam looked at Duncan, then at us. They both nodded as Tina asked, "What's the plan?"

"Entire perimeter. LB and Duncan will give the lead, and hopefully the others will pick up on it." Lacey looked at the twins. "We might need to get more adults, since I know that neither Duncan nor Sam will be able to walk the entire way."

"I'll go along," said Tina.

"So will I," added Willi. She looked at me and gave me a small smile.

"Well, then," said Lacey, "let's get started."

I had LB with Charlie and Teddy, while Lacey had Sherlock and Princess. It took us nearly an hour, but we did make it back to the front of the house. Tina had Duncan in her arms, while Willi was carrying Sam. Both of them were nearly asleep, so we went inside.

Tina and Willi took the twins upstairs to put them to bed, while we walked the dogs through the house. Someone had arranged space for three more food dishes in the kitchen and two more water bowls, too.

Once upstairs, we took them into the crib room, where all three of the babies were asleep. Letting the dogs off their leashes, I was impressed when Princess lay down next to Jean's crib. Charlie went under Haley's crib while Teddy did the same under Olivia's. LB and Sherlock looked them over, then headed out, most likely heading for the twins' room.

We encouraged the newcomers to stay where they were as Mir walked in with their stuff from the rescue center. Teddy got his doll, which he snuggled with almost immediately. Charlie got his stuffed bone while Princess got her pillow.

I watched as Lacey got on her knees and cuddled each dog for a few moments, giving them reassurances and affection while I checked that the hall door was closed all the way. She stood, then took my hand, leading me through the door back into our bedroom.

Cathy was in my chair and Mir was sitting in the Nursing Chair, reading, and she gave us a smile. "How'd it go?"

"I think we're off to a good start," Lacey answered. "We need to get those extra control fobs for the dog doors from the closet."

Mir looked at Lacey, then understood. "I'd hate for them to be trapped inside or outside."

"Yep," replied Lacey. "I think that we need showers, though. That was a long, warm hike!"

"Yeah," I agreed. "I'm impressed at how Princess and Charlie stayed close to Teddy," I said as I sat on the bench and pulled my boots and socks off. I stood to slip my pants and underwear down before Lacey helped me. I tugged my shirt off, then Lacey with her shirt and her bra. I nuzzled her neck for a moment, then she pushed away from me.

"We need showers!" She grinned at me before looking at Cathy and Mir, whose faces were turned to us. "Wanna join us?"

Both of them got to their feet and began stripping down.

"I'll take that as a yes," I said, then helped Cathy with her panties, since she had already dropped her jeans. I rubbed across her crotch before I started to slip her panties over her hips. She moaned as she wriggled her hips.

"Are you getting her started?" Lacey asked.

I heard Mir moan, then turned my head to see Lacey take a nipple into her mouth. "No more than you're getting Mir started!" I teased Lacey.

Cathy moaned as I touched her just above her clit. "No, I've been started for a while, now." I moved a hand and gently cupped Cathy's left breast. It felt heavy.

"Did Jean eat?" I asked, rubbing my palm over the nipple.

"Yessss..." Cathy moaned.

I caressed her more as her nipple grew hard. "We can't play very much, y'all," I said

"Why not?" whined Cathy as she clung to me. "Nap time's almost over, and we have things to do.

"Love?"

"Yes, Lacey?"

"Get her off, then it'll be shower time." I heard moaning, so I turned my face to see Lacey start sucking on Mir's left nipple, as her hand moved between Mir's thighs.

I kissed Cathy as I twisted and pinched her clit, then plunged two fingers into her soaking wet pussy. She tried to caress my cock, but she had been so keyed up that she was surprised by her orgasm. She moaned deeply into my mouth as she shuddered, so I caught her as she sagged as we broke the kiss.

Mir shrieked a little, and I smiled at Cathy, who smiled dreamily back. "Lacey strikes again," I chuckled. When I looked over, Lacey was trying to hold Mir up. "C'mon," I said, releasing Cathy.

I reached Lacey and Mir, taking the redhead into my arms.

"Thank you, my cowboy," Lacey gasped. "She's heavier than I thought."

"Well, she's taller than you, so you were already at a disadvantage," I replied. Mir opened her eyes, then she smiled.

"Sorry, Lacey," she gasped. "You rocked me good."

I kissed Mir's cheek. "I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself, Red."

She giggled. "I did."

"Well, then," Lacey said, a smile on her face. "Let's shower, then get ready for supper."

We all nodded, then went into the shower. I always enjoyed these group showers, as we lathered someone else, then rinsed off. There were giggles, laughs, with some kisses and fondling throw in.

After drying off and getting dressed, Lacey and I slipped down to the twins' room. They were starting to stir, so we eased in and sat on the chairs. Both LB and Sherlock perked up, but she gestured for them to stay, although they did wag their tails. I took Lacey's hand in mine, so we just sat there, watching our babies.

Sam opened her eyes first, gave me a smile, then sat up. "Dada! I need potty!"

"Okay, baby girl, let's go!" I helped her get off the bed, then took her as we walked to the bathroom. As we went down the hall, I heard Lacey talking to Duncan, so I figured that they would be joining us soon.

After both of them had finished their business and washed their hands, we headed to the stairs. Lacey stopped and looked at me. "I'm going to get those collar fobs, so I'll meet you downstairs."

I nodded, then took the twins downstairs. "Aunt Tina! Aunt Roni!" Duncan crowed when we got to the great room. They were sitting on the couch reading, and Roni turned to look at us.

"Duncan!" she called, giving him a little wave before he released my hand and ran around the couch to give her a hug. He began to tell her about the walk showing the dogs around. Sam followed slowly, still holding my hand.

Tina looked over at us. "Hi, Sam! Did you have a great walk with all the dogs?"

Sam nodded, then let my hand go as she walked over to Tina. Once Tina had pulled her onto her lap, Sam began talking with her.

I just grinned and headed for the kitchen. Willi followed me in, then leaned on against the island. "Are you fixing supper tonight?"

I nodded as I looked through the cabinets, pulling out what I wanted to use before going into the refrigerator and taking out two pounds of ground bison. I started the oven, then settled all the ingredients where I could reach them. Once everything was where I wanted it, I started browning the bison.

"What are you making?" Willi was curious, leaning over the island to watch.

"Enchiladas. Very, very mild ones."

"Why?" She was frowning.

"Because neither Duncan, Sam, nor Jean will eat spicy stuff. There'll be plenty of sauces to add your own heat."

"Oh." She started to say something else when I heard lots of laughter in the great room. I moved so that I look into the room, seeing everybody gathered around the couch. I turned the burner to low and went to see what was funny.

"What's going on?"

Lacey looked up from where she was kneeling. "I just put the door fob onto Teddy's collar, and he's dancing around!"

I saw him as he jumped around, which made me grin. "He seems very excited!"

Lacey nodded, then leaned back. "There you go, Charlie! You've got a bangle like Teddy!" Charlies barked once, then started to jump around, too. I heard Haley giggle, which seemed to send him into a run around the great room.

I saw Princess move to Lacey. "You ready for yours, too, girl?" Lacey did a little bit of activity, then stood up. "Okay, Princess, you have your own bangle." See looked at me, pointing at the kitchen. I nodded, then went back to fixing supper.

I overheard Lacey giving instructions. "I'm out onto the deck. I want someone to hold onto each dog when I do." I heard murmurs which seemed to mean that collars were being held, then the sliding door opened. When I looked over, Lacey blew me a big kiss. I winked at her, then returned to fixing supper.

Lacey called out, "Okay, LB! Come to mommy!" then I heard the dog door flip up, then drop back into place. She repeated that with Sherlock, then with Princess, Charlie, and finally Teddy.

Once they were all outside, I heard Lacey. "Mir, Cathy. Take turns and call them all in, one at a time." The process repeated, this time with the dogs going inside. Lacey tapped on the sliding door before she stepped through. She walked towards me, smiling.

"I think they'll figure it out pretty soon." She leaned over the stuff and inhaled. "About ready to roll the tortillas?"

I kissed the side of her head. "Just about."

"Need any help?"

"Need? Not really, but I wouldn't mind the help." I looked around, seeing that Willi wasn't nearby. "There's an issue with Willi, Beloved."

"What kind of issue?" I saw Lacey tilt her head, then she gave me a small, wicked smile.

"Aha! You know what's going on, don't you?"

Lacey laughed softly. "I do."

"So, what should I do?"

"Wyatt! You don't know what to do when a pretty young woman wants you?"
