Jerry seeing the night has passed yawns as well in response, he says softly "Oh, splash I'm sorry but your bed is in the same room as mine"
Jerry has had a dog bed in his room in fact for a very long time, it being stocked with a few new toys and an old collar from a friend long passed hangs on a peg above the bed.
Jerry smiles and runs his hands down her neck to her back slowly " I'll tell you a story before bed, how about that.."
Jerry knows that its unlikely Splash understands his words, but continues to speak anyways " it was a long time ago, I found a puppy in the drainage ditch, he was cold and lonely, maybe even half dead when I got him. I took him in to my arms and hurried to the house, we dried off together. I looked to him and said that nothing would ever hurt him."
Jerry shakes head and a tear hits the ground " Nothing however the forces of my promise couldn't slow the progression of cancer, he lived a long life of 9 years for a lab mix I think."
I look to Splash and smile slightly " I'll open my heart to you splash, and I'll promise that within my power nothing will ever come to harm you. We will have a great time together and that much I can promise you"
Jerry smiles says softly to her "Now, how about a quick bathroom break before bed" as I gather the leader to clip to the D ring on her collar.
