puppy, but a puppy nonetheless.
He excitedly took her into the office where a large, jolly lady greeted him warmly. “David, Sugar, how are you? I was worried you would be late!” She hugged him. “Who is your pretty little friend? She trying to take you away from us?”
“Haha, no! Suzanne, this is Jenna, this is kind of a date. We were hoping to pick up my two buddies tonight and go down to the walking trail off of Barton Springs Rd.”
Suzanne turned to Jenna. “So, you ARE trying to take away our David!”
Jenna got sheepish and shied away. “I didn’t mean to, Suzanne. He asked me here.”
Suzanne eyed her relentlessly. Then David and her burst into laughter. “We were just kidding, Sweetie. We’re happy to have you here. Any friend of David’s is a friend of ours.” Suzanne wrapped Jenna up in a huge bear hug, suffocating her in massive breasts.
Jenna was touched. She wondered if it was always like this wherever David went, hugs and greetings and smiles. Suzanne released her and she fell to her feet, having lost her wind but happy to have been greeted so warmly.
Suzanne touched David’s arm. “Sugar, we don’t usually let the volunteers take the dogs so far from the compound, but I think we can make a special exception for you. You are our hero, after all.” She looked over at Jenna while holding David’s arm close. “Not too long ago, we had a fire. We almost lost everything. If our facility had burned down, all of these dogs would have died, and worse still, any dog found in the future might have to be put down until it could be rebuilt. You just have no idea how much good this man does. You should have seen him coming out of that shed holding that poodle. All of us ladies here at APA just think he is an angel sent from heaven. You’re a lucky girl, Honey.”
“Yes Ma’am. I have already learned that. He seems to get that ‘angel’ thing a lot.” She felt proud. David looked around, trying to avoid eye contact with anybody. Could he get any cuter?
“Let’s get you two signed in, Sugar, and I’ll take you to go see Rebel and Ginger. They will be so happy to see you!” Then, as Suzanne took their information and gave them their badges, it hit her. The double date was with dogs! Duh! This was the cutest thing she had ever seen.
Suzy led the couple through the compound to the old familiar cages David had visited so often. As soon as David was visible through the tiny little bars of the gates, the barking and howling began. Rebel, a great white Spitz stood on its hind legs and bayed to the ceiling. His tail wagged so hard and fast that he nearly knocked himself over. Ginger was an orange spotted Corgi and she was running in circles so fast that her little stubby paws began to wear a donut shaped hole in the dirt of her cage.
Jenna felt David’s hand tighten with hers in it. She looked over at him to see him giddy with joy. He rose on his toes and bounced a little. His eyes were fixed on those animals and they were completely full of love. Jenna wanted to cry.
When Suzanne opened the gates, the hounds burst from their cages and jumped all over David. He fell to the ground with them and kissed them and rubbed them and loved them until Suzanne stopped him. He was so pure. Jenna wondered how he had lived so long and remained completely uncorrupted.
“No Ginger. No Rebel. Sit. Stay. Good dogs.” She gave them little chewy snacks and handed the leashes to David and Jenna. “You two be safe tonight and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” She swatted David on the butt and waved goodbye.
It wasn’t too long before they fell into stride together on the walking trail. David held Rebel’s leash and Jenna held Ginger’s. David slowly and obviously crept his arm around Jenna’s waist. She giggled and scooted closer to make it a little bit easier. Even though the trail was in the middle of Austin, it had views that were out of this world. The rich green of the trees contrasted so
