My Boyfriends' Dogs Page #6

It was fun.

It was fun.

It was more fun

than yoga, I must say,

And less painful.

Well, I don't know

about that.

I've had a few four-Putts

that were pretty painful.

Yeah?

So, I didn't even ask,

what do you do?

Oh, I'm in retail.

What about you?

I'm in high school.

uh, I teach

high school English...

I can hardly speak it.

Well, English,

that's good

Because I speak English.

There you go.

You want some help?

Let me help you.

Sure, thank you.

Um... let me...

there you go.

Yeah, a good book,

a glass of wine,

Roaring fire,

I'm a pretty happy guy.

Nice.

Have you ever read

"In search of lost time"

by Proust?

By who?

That is actually

the correct answer.

Please forget

that I mentioned it.

Okay, I'm glad

I passed that one,

Whatever that was.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Well, uh...

we should do this again...

Not golf, but a proper date.

I would like that.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Okay then.

Um...

phone number?

So, of course,

I am miss golf klutz

of the year,

But Eric is so kind,

And he's so patient,

and so sweet,

That, by the end of it,

I kind of knew

what I was doing.

Well, I certainly hope so.

You hope so how?

Honey, do you remember

when you were seeing wade?

Do you remember

what I said to you?

You said to

stop seeing wade.

No. no.

The point is, any guy

would be lucky to have you,

Whether you run marathons,

eat meat, or play golf.

Oh, Eric downloaded

this app for me

That shows me

a perfect golf swing

Start to finish.

It's so helpful.

Hmm, and thoughtful,

And presumptuous.

Oh, my gosh, mom...

What?

I saved the best for last.

Listen,

I googled him.

Yeah?

He's Eric Strang

of Strang's fashion salons.

What?

V.P. Of business

development.

Okay. Okay,

so he's the heir

Of a highly successful

national chain

Of high-End

clothing stores,

But he is still

just a guy.

A clearly solid,

responsible, ambitious guy.

Mm-Hmm.

Bailey,

Do you like Eric?

I think

he's pretty great.

Okay, so then,

at this point in time,

There's really

one other thing

That should

matter to you.

What?

Where does he stand on dogs?

So, Adam here is the

sweetest, happiest boy ever,

And eve is, uh,

she's more serious,

She's kind of anxious.

Yeah...

do you like dogs?

Uh, truth?

I've never really been

a big dog person.

Okay, you've not met

the right one, clearly.

Here, try this guy on

for size.

Okay...

Here we go...

Oh. All right.

Hey, who's walking

who there?

What do I do?

Just-Just stop.

Okay.

okay.

Phew!

Here. Okay, thanks.

Thank you.

Yes, sir. Okay.

He's actually

calmed down quite a bit

Since I've had him.

Calmed down?

Really, that's, uh...

you must have had

your work cut out for you.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, speaking of work,

you said you were in retail.

Turns out,

you are retail.

I googled.

Couldn't resist.

Yeah, well,

When you're a Strang,

There's no escaping

the family business.

Not that I'd want to,

though.

I mean, it's

the best job in the world.

It's creative, it's

challenging, it's purposeful.

It's great.

You're a lucky guy.

Well, I met you,

didn't I?

You want to sit down?

Yeah.

Here, boy.

okay...

Oh. Oh, wow.

All right. Okay.

Okay, down, boy.

He's a lover.

What's the...

What do I say?

I don't know.

I don't know

how to stop it.

I never tried.

Uh, he is a good kisser,

I'll say that.

okay, okay...

here, I think I have...

I guess I'm not so much

good with drool either.

Oh, well...

how am I doing?

I think you're all right.

I've got... yeah.

Thank you.

Hi!

Hi, you!

Oh, my goodness,

let me see your face.

Oh...

you think any of these

dogs have papers?

Probably not.

It's not about pedigree,

it's a rescue, you know?

Hey, you guys.

This fella here

could use a good home.

Hey, Cole.

How's it going?

Wait, is this

the famous eve?

This is the one.

Hi! Hi.

Which, wait, should

make you Jonathan, yes?

Oh. Nope.

Um...

so, eve was Jonathan's,

And now she's mine,

And this is Eric.

Um, babe, this one

is so cute.

Did you see the little face

on this one?

What kind of dog is he?

Oh, he's a little of this,

a little of that.

Do you have one

That's a lot of

all of one thing, or..?

Around here, all dogs

are created equal.

Babe, look at his face.

He's a sweet potato.

Look at his face!

Yup.

I know,

but I gotta think about it.

Okay.

Look, if I come

across a purebred,

I can give you a shout.

Okay.

It's like buying a car,

I want to look around.

It's so not like

buying a car.

It's like choosing

a member of your family.

It's about love.

It is.

Come on, fella.

You're really special,

you know that?

Thanks. So are you.

Thank you.

So, now that my parents are

back from their world cruise,

I really want you

to meet them.

I would love to.

When?

It's all set.

A Sunday brunch,

At my mom and dad's

country club.

A country club,

that's swanky.

It's just a place

they've belonged to forever.

My grandparents, too.

It's kind of like

a Strang tradition thing.

Yeah? Does that

include you?

Uh, married

couples only.

Ah-Hah.

Believe it or not.

An old bylaw.

This way.

But I am hoping

to become a member

At some point.

Mm-Hmm.

Hey, you!

Bailey, what's your pleasure,

prosecco or champagne?

Oh, um...

champagne.

If it's okay with everyone

else.

A bottle of Cristal, 2004.

Might I suggest the 2006?

It was a better

growing season.

I'm in your capable

hands, Ernesto.

Well, bailey,

Tell us,

what is it you do again?

Oh, I'm an English teacher.

At Parkview high.

Parkview high?

Isn't that a public school?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Oh.

Well.

Isn't that nice?

Teaching is

a noble profession.

We need more teachers.

And what do your people do?

Grandma,

That's a little personal.

No, that's fine.

Um, my father died

about 10 years ago,

He managed

A valu-Mart downtown,

And my mother

works for a dentist.

Oh, hygienist?

Receptionist.

Well...

where would we be

Without the gatekeepers?

Am I right?

Absolutely.

She runs that office

like a well-Oiled machine.

Look, I know

they're a little formal,

But they've been

great parents.

And my grandmother,

She's always

been there for me.

Well, they seemed

very nice.

I just hope

they liked me.

Are you kidding me?

They loved you.

Really?

What makes you so sure?

Because I love you.

Why are we stopping?

I want you

to see something.

Take a look.

Who lives here?

Do you like it?

It's beautiful.

Yeah, I've had my eye

on it for a while.

To buy?

It's kind of

a big house, though,

For just one person,

don't you think?

It's kind of a big house

For my entire

tenth grade English class.

I mean, it has,

like, its own little forest.

And the stonework out

in front, it's amazing,

And then the house

is so huge.

It's like a log cabin

crossed with a castle.

Ooh.

Yeah, well,

first things first, honey.

I mean, Eric hasn't even

asked you to marry him.

The way he's been

acting lately,

He may as well have

an engagement ring

Taped to his forehead.
