IV Stressing out and bonding with the dogs IV

Robin's pov

Do you ever get that feeling when you worry too much about something? That's what I'm going through right now. I try my very best to not worry so much for Ava and yet I just can't help it. So when they asked to go out for a walk, I didn't want them to go out there on their own. During our time in the city, if they ever want to go anywhere, I would go with them to keep them safe. And now I'm starting to wonder if I made the right choice, especially when there will come a time where I won't be there for them.

"Do you think that she will be okay Barkley?" I asked him and only to receive a very loud bark in response. Of course, I could never understand what our dogs say or even think, but if anything; I believe that they have a better judgment than us humans but I can only assume that he said yes.

After finishing with the cleanup I've decided to spend what's left of the time upstairs. I know that we both said to go out and buy some dog collars, but I didn't want to leave in case Ava could come back, so instead I'll do the buying online. Once that was done I then check on the dogs to see how they are doing. We have Chomper and Igloo sleeping together. Clearly, they like each other. We have Gale sitting out on the store's balcony along with Noodle having a nap beside one of the doors with Slayer on the other end. Now with the upstairs done, I went back down into the shop to check out the others; I looked over at one of the corners to find Fin looking all scared.

I was told by Ava that the poor girl was neglected by the previous owner and was about to be thrown out with nowhere to go but lucky enough someone notice that something was wrong and called the animal services, to put it short we don't blame her for being scared, even me the most. So bonding with her will take a bit of work but we'll get there. I then made my way towards the kitchen and to see Bodega sleeping happily; out of all the others he loves food, a bit too much at times but he does know when to be protective of it, Ava and I have agreed to put his bed in there.

"That just leaves one more dog to check," I said to myself as I quietly exit the kitchen, then I saw Stilton still up and by the entrance of the shop. He is the oldest out of all the dogs and being the eldest comes with responsibility, looking out for all of us. And honestly, with dogs like Stilton and Barkley, you know for a fact that you're safe since they both make a fantastic security team.

"Hey, old boy. How are you doing?" I said to him as I walked over and gave him some pets as I continue to talk.

"Are you making sure that Ava comes back?" I received a whimper as a response and it made me worried. He tends to do that when something is off, and I don't blame him. I looked at the clock on the wall and only to see that a quarter of a minute has passed by, and they still aren't home. Seeing this truly made me feel scared, I'm almost tempted to have Fin and Barkley look for them but I have to put my faith in Ava in hopes that she will come back soon.

"I'm sure that they will be back soon Stilton, but still keep an eye out for them. And remember to get some sleep as well, okay boy," I pet his head and gotten barked as an answer. Satisfied with his answer I made my back upstairs, trying my very best to stop worrying so much and entered back into the shared bedroom.

"The evening is still young so I may as well watch something. You up for that Barkley?" Having to receive another powerful bark I've put on a random DVD, I not just to pass time but to also take my mind off the whole situation. I even took the opportunity to send a message to Ava in hopes that they are alright. Do I worry too much about her? Even when we were living in the city I still worry for them but does it still need to be like that? I mean we both moved into a small town, what's the worst that could happen here?

Ava and I have agreed that this move will be good for us in many ways, so maybe it would hurt to give them a little bit of faith when being on their own. I can just only hope that this choice wouldn't be a downfall for both of us. Just thinking everything this deeply is making me even more drowsy, I guess it wouldn't hurt to sleep for a bit. And as risky it sounds, I have to trust Ava for whatever they have in store. I can only hope that they will be back soon.

"Good night Barkley," I said to my furry friend as I closed my eyes and before I knew it, I was out like a light.
