I Almost Said I Love You-Chapter 173

Ozzy sighed and wandered back to the kitchen to eat his own breakfast, pouting a little.

Rouge: *had just finished feeding Rodeo n looked up* Sa, daijobu ka, Oz to-chan?

"Huh? Oh, yeah..." Ozzy said, smiling at him as he moved to sit down, starting to eat his breakfast.

Rouge: Ur worried abt Thrax ottoto-chan, arent u, ne?

Ozzy sighed and lowered his fork. "I ain't never seen him like this, he could hurt himself..."

Rouge: This is ur first time seeing Thrax in heat, its understandable. Sa, shinpai surunda ne (dont worry), its only gonna be a week ne, better than me wen Rodeo was shut up

Ozzy nodded slowly and smiled weakly, going back to eating his food.

Rodeo: *giggled n hugged Wolf, a bit of rough-housing with him n Amber*

Rouge: Ne, abunai ne (its dangerous), Rodeo-chan, Amber-chan *sighed n shook his head weakly*

Ozzy looked over, smiling a little, laughing softly. "Eh, they'll be fine..." he said, reaching over and petting the other's hair.

Rouge: Rodeo-chan is gonna need some fresh air. I'm taking him to the garden at the bk. The door is not locked anymore, ne?

Ozzy blinked before he shook his head. "No, but... just be careful, please... okay?" he said, chewing on his lip a little.

Rouge: Daijobu ne. Sa, ikuso, Rodeo-chan *carried him piggy bk style n carried him out to the bkyard, Amber riding Wolf n following them*

Ozzy watched them before he shook his head, smiling a little before he picked up the mess from the table and moved over to the sink to wash up.

Nessie: *leaned up to the bowl tht was still at the living room, the one with oatmeal n licked n lapped at it to eat up the remains of the oatmeal*

Ozzy blinked as he came back. "Ah, Nessie..." he groaned before he sighed and ruffled his head. "You know, I would of gave it you if you had waited." he said, shaking his head before taking the empty bowl back to the sink with him.

Nessie: *gives like a dog pout, as if saying "U nvr let me eat ppl food anyway"*

"It's bad for you Ness... you can't have so much." Ozzy said, petting his head and smiling at him. "I think it's time you had a bath though, you're starting to smell." he said, wrinkling his nose.

Nessie: *eyes widened at the word 'bath' n yipped happily; he loved baths*

Ozzy laughed and shook his head. "You dork." he said, grinning at the pup before going back to washing the dishes.

Nessie: *grabs Chico by the scruff n gives him a "Chico bath too?" look*

Ozzy blinked before he laughed. "Well, Chico usually bathes herself, but if she wants to..."

Chico: *hears the word 'bath' n struggled, mewing to be let go*

Ozzy laughed and shook his head. "Come on Ness, let her go... she doesn't want to bathe."

Nessie: *snorts, as if saying she stinks*

"She can wash herself, come on~" Ozzy said before he walked off, heading to one of the bathrooms.

Nessie: *still didnt let Chico go, followed behind his Mommy to the bathroom*

Chico: *mewled in protest*

Ozzy got the water running when he got in the bathroom, looking back at the two of them before taking Chico off the pup. "No Nessie, Chico doesn't like the water."

Nessie: *yapped, insisting tht she stinks n bathing herself was not enough*

"Nessie, I'm not going to scare her now come on, get in~" Ozzy said, setting Chico on the closed toilet seat before he helped Nessie into the water.

Nessie: *dog pouts n jumped into the tub, paddling abt*

"Sorry Nessie, but kitties don't like water." Ozzy told him, kneeling down beside the bath, smiling some. "You're a good boy."

Nessie: *yapped happily*

Chico: *frowned at the water before licking n cleaning herself*

Ozzy smiled at Chico, scritching behind her ear gently. "Don't worry, I won't put you in there." he said before he blinked. "Oh, stay here you two, I need to go get you a Towel Ness." he said before getting up and walking out.

Nessie: *was paddling abt, then had a naughty glint in his eye before he reached out, grabbing Chico by the scruff n dunked her in the tub*

Chico: *shrieked n hissed as she scrabbled abt the water, mewing for her Mommy*

Ozzy quickly came back with the towel at the noise, his eyes widening. "Chico!" he gasped, quickly helping her out and holding her to his chest. "Nessie, that was naughty!" he said, frowning at the puppy.

Nessie: *whined n his ears fell flat, giving him a "I just want her clean" look*

Chico: *shivering n hacking frm the water she swallowed*

"Poor baby~" Ozzy said, drying her off with the towel. "Nessie, I told you, kittens don't need a bath, they can wash themselves!" he scolded.

Nessie: *whined n lowered until half of his head was in the water*

Ozzy sighed and shook his head. "Just, don't do it again... okay?"

Nessie: *whined, giving him a "I'm sorry" puppy-eyed look*

Ozzy sighed and smiled, reaching out and petting the pups head. "Good boy..."

Nessie: *was behaving in the tub as he allowed his Mommy to wash him*

Ozzy washed up Nessie, leaving Chico in the towel to dry off.

Chico: *rolled ard the towel to dry off, occasionally licking herself*

Nessie: *occasionally leaned up to lick at his Mommy*

Ozzy smiled softly at Nessie, scrubbing his head and down his back. "Good boy, there, all done~"

Nessie: *dogpaddled for a bit ard the tub before coming out n shook himself dry, splashing water everywhere*

Ozzy gasped and held his arms up. "Oh Nessie! You got me all wet!"

Nessie: *yapped, letting out something like a dog laugh*

Chico: *mewled in protest as some of it got on her as she quickly hid under the towel*

Ozzy sighed and shook his head. "Now I gotta find some clothes..." he grumbled, getting up and picking up Chico, heading out.
