Ramona shrugged."Not too bad, not too bad.I'm dating someone."
"Ooooh."Felicity clapped her hands."Someone good?What's his name?"
"Actually,theirname is Rock."Ramona let out a chuckle."And shame on you for assuming."Luckily, she didn't sound insulted and said the last bit in a good-natured way.
I snorted."Fair, fair.That's awesome news.How did you meet?"
"They work at my local butcher, the one we get a lot of meat from for our wolves.It's not an exaggeration when I tell you they're the most beautiful person I've ever met in my life.Oh my goodness, their eyes.I melt every time I look into them."Ramona fanned herself and squealed."I'm so happy, guys.I can't wait for you to meet them."
Felicity gave me an adoring look before she turned her attention back to our friend."I'm so pleased for you.How's life at the wolf sanctuary?"
"I'm loving it.I'm finally making progress with the pack.Yesterday, one of our she-wolves had cubs and I'm not joking, I think I died when I saw the fluffy pups.They were so tiny and the most adorable thing I've ever seen."
I felt myself smile.It was great to Ramona in her element, especially since having been cut from the Griffin Sanctuary program had been a real blow.
"Speaking of wolves, I'm currently looking after a hellhound," I said, hoping to pick her brain."I'm trying to get him to go into our transport crate but he seems scared.Any tips?"
Ramona hummed."I guess you could try treats to calm him down?"
"Don't talk to me about treats.You have no idea how much money I've spent on pepperoni."
"Pepperoni for a hellhound?"
"I know, I know.It's the only thing he seems to like.I don't know if it's the flavour or if he's got good memories of it."
She laughed."That's an interesting thing for him to like but hey, I have a wolf that absolutely loves watermelon.Anyway, covering their eyes or the crate can help them stay calm."
"So this hellhound can set itself on fire, so I'm not sure putting more flammable material on him is a good idea.I suppose I could knit a woolen blanket."
Felicity laughed."Do you know how long it would take you to knit a whole blanket?"
"A few days?"I guessed.
"Try months."
"Nevermind."
Ramona's laugh came through the speaker."Make sure they're not hungry.Fed wolves are sleepy wolves."
That was a good tip and I would make sure to relay that information to Gwen or whoever had been feeding him daily.That way, they could prepare for the end of the week which was quickly coming near.
