Saving My Life

New Puppy

A/N Photo above is Kimi. That puppy is so adorable, I wish it was mine.

8:00 am

I know Ariana misses her dogs, but because of the kids, she can't keep them here. They are all pretty big puppies but I decided to get her a very tiny puppy.

"Hello?" A man answers the phone.

"Hi, I was wondering if you had a very small puppy. Maybe like a toy yorkie? Preferably female." I ask, knowing Ari's puppies are boys.

"Actually, we just got one yesterday. Her name is Kimi. She's very small and black. Do you want her?"

"Yes. I'll come get her at about 2:00. Thank you." I hang up and go take a shower.

After my shower, I put on a black tank top and white short shorts. I put on white sandals and go downstairs to make pancakes. Everyone is in the living room, ready to film the 2nd episode.

After the pancakes are ready, and everyone has eaten, we go get in the limo with Kevin. Skai and Peyton slept over last night.

"Hi Kevin." Ariana says, seeming especially cheerful.

"Hi Ari. Filming the 2nd episode?" He says.

"Yep." She replies, closing her eyes with a smile on her face.

15 Minutes Later

We arrive at the studio and Ari still has a smile on her face. She gets out of the car with the twins and I pick up Kenzie, who, despite filming yesterday, she's still nervous.

"Kenz, it'll be fine. You did it yesterday and you can do it today." I tell her.

"Ok Taylor." She replies.

We walk in the building and go into wardrobe, where we get dressed in the clothes they give us before going to hair and makeup.

1 Hour Later: 9:45

When everyone is ready, we go to practice before filming.

3 Hours Later

It's almost 1:00 pm and we still need to get home then I need to go get the puppy. It's trafficky on the highway and it takes us 30 minutes to get home. When we get there, I ask Kevin to take me to the pet center when everyone goes inside.

Skai and Peyton wanted to come with me, wherever I went so now, we're all in the limo.

15 Minutes Later

We arrive at the pet center and go inside.

"Excuse me sir, I called earlier about Kimi."

"Oh, of course. Hey, you're Taylor Grande, Skai Jackson, and Peyton List. It's so nice to meet you. My little sister loves your new show, Livin' Life Landri."

"Hey, that's great. Umm, just a quick question, how old are you?" Peyton asks with a smile, finally looking up from her phone.

"18."

"Oh, then I dont know why I called you sir. What's your name?" I say.

"Ricky. Come right this way and you can see Kimi." He says.

Peyton goes up to talk with him while he leads us through the little puppies. This is only a puppy shelter.

"Here she is." He says, taking her out of the cage and handing her to me.

While me and Skai play with her, Ricky and Peyton tour the rows of little puppies.

"I think I want her. I'm getting her for Ari because she misses her dogs." I tell Skai, following Ricky and Peyton to the front desk.

"She's $100. I can lower the price for you." He says to Peyton.

She smiles and pays him.

"Peyton, you know I was supposed to pay, right?"

"Yea, it's on me. Can I have your number?" She says.

"Sure." Ricky replies, scribblings number on a piece of paper and handing it to her.

"Hey, do you mind if I come volunteer sometimes?" She says, putting it in her purse.

"Not at all. Bye." He says, flashing a toothy grin as we leave.

We go home and Skai and Peyton make sure Ariana is distracted. On the way home, I got a small box and poked like, a billion holes in it. As I put Kimi in the box, Skai comes out to tell me the coast is clear.

I take Kimi inside and go into the living room where Ari is playing with the twins and Kenzie.

"Where's Sean?" I whisper to Skai.

"Right here." He says, walking in and sitting on the couch.

"Ari, I have a surprise for you."

"What is it? I love surprises."

"Here." I hand her the box as she sits on the couch.

She opens the lid and her mouth drops open. Inside the box is Kimi, who fell asleep on the way in.

"Taylor..." She doesn't get to finish because Kimi wakes up and yawns.

That's just enough for her to start crying.

"She's so cute. Taylor, thank you." She says through tears, taking Kimi out of the box.

She hugs her for about 10 minutes, then comes and hugs me.

"Thank you so much." She says, burying her face in my shoulder since we are about the same height.

"Your welcome, Ari. Can you stop now? I can't breathe." I say.

"Oh, sorry." She goes to play with Kimi and the kids.

Kimi is so tiny, she is allowed to play around the twins. Ariana already had a pet room near the back of the house so that's where Kimi stays. She's 4 months old and is already potty trained.

"I just put a picture of Kimi on Instagram and Twitter and now everyone says they are going to go adopt puppies just like her." Ariana says, letting Kimi lick her face while she scrolls through Twitter.

"Ariana, that's gross. I don't care how cute she is, dogs aren't supposed to lick your face." I say, leading Skai and Peyton to the door so they can go home.

"Not with Kimi." She replies, placing Kimi next to the kids and going to sit with Sean.

"Hi." He says, putting her arm around her.

"Alright, that's enough. I'm taking anyone under 2 years old upstairs. Have fun." I say, picking up the twins and going up the stairs followed by Kenzie and Kimi.

We go into Kenzie's room and I set the twins down so they can play.

I sit in the rocking chair and get Instagram, making sure to keep a close eye on everyone.

3:45

The kids have fallen asleep on the floor and Kimi is cuddled up next to Kaylee. After I take a picture and post it, I put them all in bed and go downstairs to let Kimi outside. When she's done, I take her into the pet room.

It's filled with toys and blankets and cages for the bigger dogs. There is actually a crib made for little puppies and I decided that's where Kimi is gonna sleep. After I put her in the crib, I leave and go into the living room.

While standing at the doorway, I see Ariana and Sean cuddled up together on the couch. They are both asleep and the TV is on American Horror Story.

I turn it off and take a picture, before posting it on Instagram and going upstairs to watch Spongebob.
