Bork Bork, motherpuppers!

So Juno brought a dog into the apartment...and he didn't even tell me.
What kind of dog was it?
It was a small golden-brown fluffy butt bread dog...also known as the corgi.
It wasn't just any corgi however, it was a corgi that has melt everyone's hearts, including mine, that had been covered deep in cement after the death of my old dog, Jake, who died a few years ago.
I still miss that good ol' Jake the Dog...
So how did I find out about the corgi?
It was on a cold winter day and me and Juno were sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket as we cuddled, trying to keep warm for the heater in the apartment complex was broken.
Don't worry, Mr. Vito is trying to take care of that as we speak.

[Outside of the apartment complex]

Bork Bork!

Mr. V: "Did you hear that? It sounds like there's a dog in the apartment complex!"
(✿☉｡☉)

Stephano: "Oh wow Elias, don't you follow our Father's rules? No pets allowed!"
(>_<)

Mr. V: "Y-Yes but who could have a dog?! I know everyone in the building more than YOU DO and I know that NONE of them have a dog!"

Stephano: "Well maybe you should go check on the problem before I become the new owner of this place~"
(¬ω¬)

Pop! Sizzle sizzle...pop!

Mr. V: "Uhhh Stephano, the heater's making a weird noise!"
（・□・；）

Stephano: "So? Not my fault that you're running a dump~"

Mr V: "Hurry! Give me the wrench!"
(」゜ロ゜)」

Stephano: "Get it yourself~ I'm busy talking to my girlfriend~"
(¬ω¬)

Mr. V: "STEPHANO YOU SON OF A B-"
щ(ಥДಥщ)

Boom!

[Back inside the apartment complex]

Did I also mention that Juno has been living here for almost 6 months now? Yep, he changed his mind about living in another apartment.
He wanted to stay with me 24/7 and I was okay with that, for if we were ever separated, we both would go crazy.
Juno places a kiss on my forehead as he smiled down at me, slowly stroking my brown hair.

"Hey Mackenzie...I got a surprise for you~"

"Eh? A surprise? Juno, you didn't have to..."

"Awww you're going to like it! I'll show you after dinner-"

There was loud banging on the door, causing me and Juno to jump from the couch and hide underneath the coffee table. We then heard mumbling coming from the other side.

"Mrs. Huntington? Juno? It's me, Mr. V! I need to have a word with you both..."

"Oh! It's Mr. V! Let's go see what he wants!"

Juno said as he then grabs me by my hand and drags me to the door, where we open the door and find a soot-covered Mr. Vito standing there with his arms crossed, his expression serious and stern.

"Uhh Mr. V? Why are you all black...?"
(。･o･｡)

"Are you Santa Claus?"
(✿☉｡☉)

"Don't ask...now, I would like to know if you two own a dog...because you do know the rules here: no pets allowed."

"Dog? What dog? We don't have a dog, Mr. V."

"Umm...actually, we do now."
(^^ゞ

"Huh?"
( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

"Wait, what...?"
(*/∇＼*)

Juno shyly smiles as the two of us follow him to the closet and when he opened it, we both gasped.
There lying on a bundle of newspapers was a corgi, barking with excitement as it stared at us with dark gleaming eyes, jumping as it rolled on it's back, wanting us to rub his belly as it brightly smiled.

Juno giggles as he rubs the corgi's belly, smiling as he kisses its furry head. I just stood there behind him, folding my arms as I impatiently tap my foot. I wasn't angry, I was just irritated...

"Isn't he adorable?! I got him at the shelter! Oh who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?!"
(*^^*)

"Juno..."
(눈_눈)

"Umm...surprise?"
╮(╯▽╰)╭

"This is unacceptable...you both know that I can't allow a dog to live here. I'm afraid you'll have to get rid of him..."

Juno's brown eyes widened as he then hug the dog to his chest, protecting him as he backed away from us.

"W-What? N-No! I'm not getting rid of him! He needs a place to stay! A home to stay in! He needs a family to take care of him!"

"I'm sorry Juno, but rules are the rules...now, hand him over, I'll take him back to the shelter."

Mr. V sadly said as he reaches over to Juno, his hand about to touch the corgi who still smiled.

"No, wait!"

"I'll take him back..."

I said out of nowhere, getting the two's attention. Mr. Vito sighed deeply before pulling his hand back, stuffing it into his coat.

"You sure, Mrs. Huntington?"

"Yes...I would also like to have a word with Juno about not telling me about this in the first place..."

"Very well...you two better have the dog out of the building by tonight. Otherwise, Stephano will rat me out to our Father and then HE'LL become the owner..."

Me and Juno sat there in silence as the corgi pants, drool dripping from its mouth and onto the floor.
Mr. Vito then turns his back, walking out of our apartment, slowly shaking his head.
I then turn to Juno, who stared at me with sad eyes as he hugged the corgi.

"Juno-"

"I'm sorry Mackenzie...I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this sooner. But I wanted to give you your Christmas gift early so I kept it a surprise! Please don't get rid of him, look! He loves you already!"

Juno prodded as he lets go of the corgi, the dog happily barking as he then jumps on my lap, licking my face.
I blushed as I gently push the fluffy beast away.

"Juno, that's sweet of you to do for me, but we can't have a dog...you do know that taking care of a dog is a very responsible thing to do. Plus, we won't be able to watch him. I have work and you have school..."

"B-But he's trained! He can handle watching himself! Right, Brownie?"

"Brownie?"

"Yeah! That's the name I have given him! Chocolate Brownie!"
(*^^*)

"Why'd you name him that?"

"Because we both love sweets! And he's the sweetest dog around! So that's why his name is Brownie!"
(*^▽^*)

...God, how was Juno capable of being THIS adorable?
I blushed as I then sadly smile at him, scratching Brownie's head as he barked.

"I guess that is a suitable name for him...but you got to understand, Juno. Mr. Vito will lose his job if we don't get rid of Brownie before tonight...Mr. Vito needs this job, he wants this job. Do
you want him to lose it all because of this small dog...?"

"...No."

Juno muttered as he lowered his gaze.
It hurt me to say those words, but it was the hard cold truth; I didn't want Mr. V to lose a job he enjoyed very much because of this gift Juno has given me. As much as I would want to keep Brownie, I didn't want to take the chance of making someone else unhappy in exchange for my happiness.
So for the rest of the day while Juno played with Brownie in the living room, I called many people who would like to adopt the corgi.
However, none of them wanted to take him, either because they didn't have enough room in their homes or because he would scare their pet cats.
Time had went by so fast, for I look out the window and find that a blanket of darkness had already covered our street, the snow softly falling on the balcony.
I sighed as I cross off the last name on the paper and turn to Juno, who was sleeping with Brownie.
I gently shake him by his shoulder.

"Juno...it's time, it's time for Brownie to go."

Juno's eyes flutter open as he yawns, stretching his arms while Brownie done the same.

"Did you find anyone...?"

"Unfortunately, no...no one wants to take him."

"...Oh..."

"Let's go to the lobby and give him to Mr. V...he'll take care of the rest."

"...Okay. Come on, Brownie."

Brownie barks as he follows me and Juno down the stairs to the lobby, where we found Mr. V talking with his twin brother, Stephano.
Stephano clicks his tongue as he stares at the dog with disinterest.

"Why is THAT dog still here...?"

"And why did Pewdiepie leave you?"
(눈_눈)

I snapped back as Juno hugs Brownie.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Brownie...I really wanted to raise you with Mackenzie...but sadly, rules are rules. Here you go, Mr. V...please make sure he finds a good home to stay in."

Mr. Vito softly smiles as he then hands Brownie back to Juno, who stared at him with confusion.

"But he already has a home to live in~ And he already has a family that loves him so much~"

"H-Huh?"

"Eh...?"

"From now on, any kind of pet can live here in this apartment complex!"

Mr. V announced as all of us gasped, including Stephano.

"What the hell?! Elias! You know the rules! No pets allowed! Ever! I'm telling Father!"
ｏ( ><)o

"Go ahead, because I've already asked for his permission over the phone and he accepted, especially after I told him that the dog is a corgi~
He freaked out a lot about it too, for he told me that when he was younger, there was a house fire and a brave corgi had saved him!"

"I-I don't remember him telling us that story! This must be all a lie!"
щ(ಥДಥщ)

"Well, it's true and it came out of his mouth~ Juno, Mackenzie, you may keep your dog~ Just make sure he doesn't poop in my Zen garden or we'll have trouble, okay?"

"Y-Yay! Thank you Mr. V! Thank you! Mackenzie! We can keep Brownie! We can raise him together!"
(*^▽^*)

"Y-You're making it sound like we're going to raise a kid together..."
（//･_･//)

"That's because Brownie is a kid, Mackenzie~ He's OUR kid~"
(*^^*)

"H-He's just a dog! H-Hey!"
\(///Σ///)\

Bork!
Brownie barked as he smiled at me and Juno.

And that's how me and Juno got Brownie the Corgi that day~
