“He’s fine, but the vet had asked if we would be interested in breeding him.”
“He is the best dog ever, but don’t people usually want purebreds for breeding?”
“That’s what I asked. After what the vet said, I had him run a DNA test. Boss isn’t who you think he is. Turns out he’s not part springer spaniel.”
“Okay. That was kind of a guess.” Because he wanted it to be, and Boss did have spots.
“He’s not part Rottweiler either.”
He picked up the thread of where she was going and didn’t like it. “But his head is shaped like theirs.”
“Close. Have you heard of Catahoula Leopard dogs?”
“A what?” It sounded like something she made up to prank him.
“I hadn’t either. It’s a breed out of Louisiana known for herding and hunting large game. They’re intelligent, loyal to their owners, and have lots of energy.”
“Sounds about right.”
“That’s what the DNA results confirmed.”
“Not even part Clydesdale, huh?”
She rolled her eyes and laughed. “Less than one percent. He is slightly over the top of the size range though. Come here, Boss. Say hi to your daddy.”
Boss’s big face filled the screen before giving John a view of the top of his head as the dog nuzzled his face to Elizabeth’s screen.
“I still love you, boy. Guess I’ll have to do some research on Chattahoochee Leopard dog?”
“Catahoula.”
“Oh.”
“I’ll send you the info in an email.”
“How’s he taking it?
She laughed again. “Pretty well. We were more worried about you.”
“Yeah. It does take some of the fun out of it, but I don’t think we should change his name.”
“I agree.”
“Our next dog, we may have to adopt a cocker spaniel and name him Joe Cocker.”
“We’ll talk about that later. We’re short on time. I had an idea to cheer you up.”
“Oh, yeah? ‘Cuz I’m taking this kind of hard.”
“That’s not what should be hard.” Her voice dropped to that sultry tone that definitely made parts of him hard.
“What do you have in mind to make me feel better?” Their first video sex chat had naturally been a little awkward, but he’d talked her through it. Since then, she’d gotten more comfortable. For now, this was what they could do, being separated by an entire ocean, but he definitely looked forward to getting home to her and doing things with her.
“We’re going to play poker. Strip. Poker.” She grinned at the camera and shuffled a deck of cards.
“I should warn ya. I’m pretty good at poker.”
“That’s okay. I have an advantage. I wear earrings and a necklace.”
