   I really want a dog. My boyfriend Rip though, hates dogs. But I will do anything to talk him into letting me have one. When I say anything I mean anything. Have you seen the adorable faces of those little border collies, or the pugs, maybe even a pit bull. I will accept anything as long as it is in dog form.

Y/n's pov

   Its another day and that means its day three of talking Rip into letting me have a dog. The first two days was busts and he brushed it off like it was nothing but today I am going to go full force into my games.

   I woke up beside Rip in our shared bed in the foremans cabin. So I decided to go and make him a cup of coffee. He was still asleep when I returned to the bedroom with a cup of coffee in hand so I decided to wake him up with a good morning kiss. I leant down and kissed his lips softly to give him time to wake up and decide what he wanted to do. He woke up in no time and kissed me without hesitation while he wrapped his strong arms around me and pulled me closer to his body.

"Good morning baby" I whispered to him when we pulled apart.

"Good morning for sure. I like to start all my mornings like that" he chuckled with a small smile on his face.

"I made you a cup of coffee" I said and handed him the cup of coffee when he sat up in bed.

"Thanks sweetheart" he said as he took a sip of his coffee before really looking at the cup.

   I may or may not have went to the store and got a cup that was all black and said "I ❤️ Dogs" on it in big bold letters.

"Darling. what is this" Rip asked calmly.

"I thought the cup was cute when I saw it and I love dogs so much so I got it. I thought you could use it this morning" I explained to him briefly.

"Can we not start my good morning with a conversation about dogs. We are not getting a dog" Rip groaned as he sat his cup on the night stand and layed back down.

"Why. I want a dog so bad Rip. Please, for me" I begged.

"Dogs smell, they are annoying, and we don't have time to take care of one of one between our work baby. You know this" he explained to me.

"UGH. You are such a bitch" I groaned as I made my way out of our room and to the kitchen.

   I already got dressed this morning so I got my cup of coffee and went out the door as Rip called behind me to come back.

   The walk to the barn wasn't long and I saw Carter in the barn doing his work.

"Morning Carter. Your the first one here this time I see" I said as I grabbed a wheel barrel and pushed it over so I could help him clean out the stalls.

   I come in early some mornings just to give him a hand. Hes young and could use a little help sometimes.

"Nope" he sighed as he pointed out the door to my dad and Kayce riding through the field.

   I'm a Dutton if you haven't figured that out yet.

"They don't matter. YOU was the first one here to do your work. YOU was the one who got up early to make sure everything in the barn was in order. And it is YOU who cleanes out the stalls for everyones horses" I gave him a short pep talk.

"Yeah your right" he smiled as he went back to work.

   We worked and chatted a bit before I had to get ready to go and herd cattle. We are taking some cows to the sales so we have to get to work pretty early. I saddled up my horse while giving Carter some tips on how to saddle it and how to make sure everything is safe and in order. After exchanging a few goodbyes I left Carter to his work and led my horse out to where the rest of the Wranglers was and I saw Rip standing with them all drinking out of the "I ❤️ Dogs" cup.

"I thought you hated dogs" Ryan jabbed at him.

"I do. Y/n, loves them unfortenatly" he sighed.

"You need to get that girl a dog. She's bound to break up with you if you don't man. All she talks about is how bad she wants a dog and how you won't let her have one" Ryan said.

   Ryan's the best wingman. He too wants me to get a dog so he can be the godfather and have rights to play dates and dogsitting.

   Rip saw me coming over and quickly shut down the conversation.

"Get the work Ryan" Rip growled and sent Ryan on his way.

"I see your still using your cup, asshole" I said as I approached my oh so annoying boyfriend.

"I wasn't about to waste a perfectly good cup of coffee.

   I was about to send another jab at him but he interuppted me.

"After we are done today meet me up at the main house" Rip told me and walked off.

   I was confused but I went on with my day.

~Time skip to after the work is all over brought to you by Jimmy falling off his horse~

   Today was a tough day and I was so tired. But I found that last wind to walk all the way up to the main house to see what Rip wanted. I saw him walk off awhile ago and already head up there.

   Once I made it to the house I walked through the door and called out for someone.

"In the living room auntie" I heard my nephew Tate yell back.

   I entered to see him, Rip, my dad, and Kayce sitting on the couches and chairs.

"Why does it feel like I just entered a therapy session" I asked as I tentavily entered the room.

"We have gathered together today, to discuss your obsession with dogs. We have noticed that you have been rather down lately and its affecting your work" Kayce is taking charge of this session I see.

"It's changing you as a person and its scaring me Darling" Rip added.

"So we have been looking high and low for the right medicines for you" my dad added.

   Oh my lord they are sending me to an asylum.

"And I, Tate Dutton, found the cure" Tate said as he exited the room.

   This was very strange but when Tate re-entered the room I almost burst into tears. He was carrying a puppy in his arms with a bow on top of its head.

"Oh my god" I cried as Tate placed my favorite kind of puppy in my arms.

"I never meant for you to hate me for not liking dogs. I was just trying to not seem suspicous as we was looking for the right dog for you" Rip said to me as he came up beside me and kissed my cheek.

"I never hated you, I love you Rip Wheeler, so fucking much" I cried as I held my puppy up and gave it a big hug.

"Um wheres my love, I found the dog" Tate asked expectantly.

"His friend from school had puppies for sale and it just happened to be your favorite kind" Kayce explained.

"Thank you Tate, you are the bestest nephew I could ever ask for" I told him sat my puppy in Rips arms who grimaced and held it away from his body as I gave Tate a hug, then Kayce, and my dad.

"Now I suggest you get that puppy home and settled in. Goodnight" my dad said as he ussured Rip and I out the door.

   I took my puppy back and Rip and I walked back to our home in silence. I could tell he didn't like the idea of having a dog but he loved me and would do anything for me.

"So, got any name suggestions" I asked as Rip and I layed in our bed after helping the puppy settle in and now its laying at our feet.

   In the end, Rip and our dog became best friends. He wouldn't admit it but that dog was like a kid to him and if anyone asked he would say he still hated dogs. He even helped pick out the name. I knew that dog got to close with him when Rip didn't want to have sex because the dog was asleep on the bed and he didn't want to wake it. What a cockblock. The bunkhouse bitches, mainly Ryan, would dogsit any night we asked because that dog became like another ranch hand but it recieved its pay checks in dog bones. But I loved my dog more than anything alongside my boyfriend and later, husband.
