The Rose Garden

—

Wels loved dogs of all kinds really and sure he might not have one himself but he’d take any chance possible to dog sit for a while and that included watching over Tilly. The big bright white fluffball that was Pearl's dog. And she was a gem of a dog to watch.

He’d decided to play some good ol’ fetch with her, get out some pent up energy while they were docked in a sea port. Of course the issue with this is in fact that Wels had taught her how to dive off the ship when ported on water and that his aim was poor. So his simple words of “Go get it!” Coupled with a throw straight into the ocean ended with him diving into the water after she had.

Both the ball and Tilly had been retrieved that day. However the arachnid lost just a little bit of his pride, sat on the deck air drying with a small white towel draped over his shoulders. “I should have never taught you that.” He mused to the earlier noted big white fluffball who shook out her fur while wagging her tail, still holding the ball in her mouth.
