EXCERPT – Lost and Found by Jeanne Bannon
(Exclusive to the Valentine, Pets & Kisses Box Set)
Bardot was five months old now and still not
housebroken, but without Josh around, Lexi was as helpless as a, well, a
newborn puppy. She got up slowly from the hard floor. Her back ached and her
head pounded. She guessed Bardot had to go outside for a pee—another thing she
hated about having a dog. Her small yard wasn’t fenced and so she had to walk
the puppy around until it decided to do whatever it had to. Lexi prayed Bardot
hadn’t already done her business in the crate. That was not an uncommon occurrence
and it always meant she’d have to bathe the dog since she didn’t seem to have
the sense not to step in her own waste. Lexi sighed at the thought of it.
Bardot did not like baths.
She bent down to open the door to the crate.
Bardot already had her little pushed-in snout against the grill of the door,
stubby tail wagging furiously. When she opened it, Bardot bounded out and
jumped up to kiss her. Even though still just a pup, she was strong and her
boxy little skull connected with Lexi’s nose. Blood gushed. Lexi stifled it
with a hand while trying to keep the puppy at bay with the other, but Bardot
was persistent, jumping and jumping until she knocked her mistress backward
onto her butt.
Lexi let her head fall into her hands and
cried; a small pool of blood and tears spilled onto the front of her T-shirt.
She looked up in time to see Bardot squatting on the rug.
