Kris looked over the edge of the bed at the dog, puzzled.
"I didn't do that one," she said. She glanced apologetically at Brandi. "Sorry. I guess I started something. Someone's an interrupter."
She held out her hand to the new dog as the first one struggled out of his covers to approach the girls.
"I guess they need names." Kris thought for a moment, accessing... "Sirius," she said, indicating the white dog. "And Fenris. God, are they all going to have 'dog' names?"

*Brandi chuckled, then reached for her shirt, pulling it over her head.*
"Somethings just can't be helped, I suppose."
*She studied the wriggly balls of fluff, offering one hand to each of them for sniffing.*
"Though as far as puppies go, they seem pretty adorable."

"Well... they are puppies," Kris said, as if that explained everything.

Sirius sniffed at Brandi's hand, his little tail wagging awkwardly. He felt warm and comfy and not quite hungry yet and things seemed all right with the world, in his limited view.
Well, most things. There was something he seemed to be forgetting. But even the fact that he was forgetting something was soon lost in his puppy mind.

*Happy for the invitation, Fenris hopped up onto the bed so Kris and Brandi could pet him. While there, he gave Sirius a perfunctory sniff before returning his attention to the two humans*

*Brandi practically squealed in delight as her fingers sank into soft puppy fur.*
"Eee. Overwhelmed by the cuteness." *She scratched Fenris behind the ear. Then something hit her.* "Huh. What sort of diet were you thinking? I mean, we can swing meat if you'd rather. Or kibble only is fine. I just...hadn't thought about it."

Sirius sniffed the other dog. He didn't now how, but he knew it was... different. Still, like everything other than his immediate environment, the thought slid away into obscurity.

Kris played with Sirius' floppy ears as his tongue lolled.
"Oh, I hadn't thought of it, either. If you're asking whether I'd extend my veggie thing to dogs, then no. That's a personal choice they can't make--and anyway, they're not made for that. They'll be fine with whatever. What do you think?"

*Fenris wiggled so that he was situated in between the two of them, looking quite content to sit and receive pets *

*And Brandi was quite content to pet both of them. There was just something magnetic about puppies. She shrugged.*
"Don't know. I've always been a kibble girl, but just because it was too expensive to feed them on meat. So...maybe a mixed diet? The grains and stuff would probably still help their digestion."

"Sure," she said. "I don't worry about dogs too much. I think they manage. They sure are cute, though."
Kris stopped petting one.
"Maybe I should put on some clothes."

*Brandi glanced her over, pursing her lips to stifle a giggle.*
"Yeah maybe. Especially if you want to go downstairs without funny looks. Or...avoid eager puppy scratches."
*She pulled on her pants and tied back her hair.*
"I should see to the kids anyhow."

Kris grasped her hand.
"Hope I helped," she said softly, as Sirius started to whimper slightly. Hungry, perhaps.

*Brandi paused in surprise, looking back at the hand in hers and up to Kris with a quirky smile.*
"Of course it did. It was perfect."
*Her eyes were tender as she took Kris's hand in both of hers.*
"Just what I needed. Thank you."

Kris smiled sunnily.
"Okay," she said. "Just checking."
