Patch's Adventures in Puppy School

chapter 15: Puppy Love

When it was late and got very dark, Patch went out the back doggy door and decided to call his dad as advised, but had a surprise. "Colette... What are you doing out here?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were still staying home..." Colette told him. "I was really worried about you when you ran away."

"Yeah, sorry about that, by the way ,look at what the Pound Puppies gave me." Patch said before showing his combined Equestrian Medallion Pound Puppies badge/dog tag.

"Wow..." Colette's eyes twinkled like the charm around his neck. "That's amazing..."

"I'm about to call my parents and tell them all about it... Would you like to join me?" Patch invited with a sweet smile to her.

"I'd love to." Colette agreed to call her lover's parents with him.

Patch gave out a bark with Colette.

Night at Roger and Anita's farm, the puppies and Spot were gathered together with Pongo and Perdita.

"He hasn't called in a while... Maybe he's over us..." Perdita sighed.

"Don't worry, luv, I'm sure he'll call tonight..." Pongo smiled to her.

"Maybe you need to call the operator..." Spot suggested, not exactly sure how this Twilight Bark thing worked, due to being a chicken and all.

They suddenly heard two puppies calling them, telling them that one of them was Patch and the other must have been Colette, but to them, must have been a new friend.

"Who is that other one?" Pongo wondered as he put his ear up. "Oh, it's one of Lady's puppies, her name is Colette."

"She sounds pretty..." Two-Tone smiled as she waved her pierced ears, loving fashion. "She should come over so we can have a fashion show!"

"It would be nice to see Patch again and meet his new friends." Cadpig said.

"Yeah... He's really come along." Rolly smiled.

Pongo and Perdita barked back, giving feedback from the farm as Patch and Colette waited for an answer.

"Your parents sound nice..." Colette smiled. "Your mother sounds like the Dalmatian my mother grew up with before Jim Dear adopted her as a Christmas present for Darling."

"Cool and sounds like they really want to meet you, I better tell them about Lucky and the Pound Puppies." Patch said.

Colette giggled, feeling flattered.

"The Pound Puppies?" Perdita sounded excited. "I know those dogs! They helped me get adopted by Anita when I was just getting out of puppyhood!"

"Cool!" The Dalmatian puppies cheered.

"And sounds like the leader of the Pound Puppies is a dog named Lucky and he's been taking really good care of Patch." Pongo said.

"Wow, you guys are amazing dogs..." Spot was surprised.

"Of course we are!" the Dalmatian Lucky told her. "What? You think these things just happen?"

This made the other puppies giggle a little while Spot looked amazed and confused with him.

"I'll never forget my one shot at love..." Lucky sighed. "I miss her so much... I wonder if she even remembers me..."

"Oh, I'm sure she does, Lucky." Cadpig said to her adventurous brother.

"Don't worry, you'll see her again..." Rolly patted him on the back.

Lucky sighed, then smiled back. "Way to go, Patch, you finally have become one of a kind."
