Chapter 37

Ward sat back down by the box with Teller, watching Zeta and her babies as they slept. He pictured the boys and their excitement when they saw the pups for the first time. I wonder which one our boys will pick?Ward asked himself, then realized what he had thought. “Our boys,” he said aloud.

Teller raised his head.

Ward smiled. Yes, he was thinking of them more and more as his as well as Tyler’s. His smile deepened.

The next morning after milking, he called Tyler’s cell.

“Are you up?” Ward asked after Tyler had said hello.

“Up and hard.”

“Where are you?”

“Still at my folks’.”

“You’re alone, I hope.”

Tyler laughed. “No, I’m walking around the house in my boxers, showing off my boner. I’m in bed, unfortunately alone.”

“Wish I could remedy that,” Ward said.

“Me, too. What’s going on?”

“I called to let you know Zeta had her pups last night. She had three, two boys and a girl.”

“Hey, that’s great. The boys will be excited. Can we come out and see them?”
