Lisha playing with what looked like a Springer Spaniel, the dog appeared to be nearly four months old, who was fiddling with the tennis ball Lisha repeatedly throwing for the dog to catch.
    “Lisha, whose dog is this?” I demanded.
    “Someone left him here earlier, in a box, I couldn’t find any info about the previous owners” she said, picking up the tennis ball.
    I heard the V8 engine of the Evoque gunning down the road from the vets and my car came into perspective, it’s directional headlights illuminating the under lit car park.
    Ant had parked to the one side of the car park, he got out and opened the trunk of the car. “ Miss White” he said, donning his black peaked cap.
    Lisha walked towards the me and the Springer puppy followed her over, it‘s tail wagging from side to side.
    “The puppy is in good health, no injuries and well fed. It’s kind a strange someone who would leave something as gorgeous as her” she said, picking the puppy up, its response was to lick her face.
    “Who do you think will have her then” I asked Lisha. Lisa looked at me with the puppy in her arms,
    “ I would have her, but you know what my other dog is like, she doesn’t have issues with people she has issues with smaller dogs”,
    “I could look after her for you, you can always bring Nelly down” I told her, putting my hand on her arm.
    I walked up into the vets with Lisha and we both stood by the desk with Lisha picking up her keys. “It’s eerie in here at night...kinda peaceful”, Lisha said.
    “Sometimes quiet is good, you know, peaceful for the animals in here” I replied walking into the waiting room.
     
    The ticking of the clock could be heard in the quiet waiting room as we went into the isolation room to collect Maizie, her puppies and her recently adopted puppies, they all lay in a large dog bed with several woollen blankets. In the next room we could her Sophie start to bark, alerted to our presence. “Can you go and get Sophie, please”, I asked Lisha.
    “Yeah, I'll bring her out to the car” she replied, leaving the room and heading through another nondescript door that seem to need a lick of paint.
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter Four
     
     
    With Lisha holding Sophie and me holding Maizie we proceeded to begin the challenge of putting the dogs into the large crates, we placed Maizie in the left crate with her puppies and adopted puppies and then placed the abandoned Springer in the other one, it growling when I closed the crate door with a clang. We both got into the rear of the car with Sophie sitting on Lisha’s lap.
     
    Ant was paitiently waiting in his seat with the gentle purr of the engine ticking over.
    “ Could we drop Lisha off afterwards , and then head to mine Ant?”,
    “Sure Miss White” he replied, putting the car into gear and driving out of the parking lot.
    “You know you can call me Maddie, Ant”,
    “Yes Miss White...err I mean Maddie” he said looking uncomfortable.
    “Easy Maddie, don’t throw the man a complex” Lisha said winking at me.
    “ I’m not that bad am I am Ant?” I asked looking at the rear view mirror.
    “No Miss...Maddie” he replied while changing gear and overtaking a truck.
    “Here’s an idea Maddie, I’ll come back you yours, to help the springer settle in, although I’ll let my paps know what's going on”,
    “Youv’e got a point, he does worry a little too much.. But he does have his ways though. An old fashioned kinda man” I replied handing Lisha my phone.
    I then heard snippets of a one sided conversation about Lisha telling her Dad that she was coming over to mine, that she wanted to settle a new puppy, but did leave out the fact she was going to consume copious amounts of alcohol.
    I could tell that the conversation had gone okayish, but the look on Lisha’s face said it all. Then the idea popped in my mind, that we should order pizza, drink wine and watch Romcoms all night
     
    “ Fancy pizza and a bottle of Shiraz” I asked
