Barefoot and in nothing but grey sweats, Owen stood with his arms crossed over his chest. He was supervising the dog bath his wife was giving the dirty stray she just found... in the middle of the night. He was disapproving not of his wife's charitable nature towards helpless critters, nor her propensity for finding helpless critters, but he was disapproving of her inevitable attachment to them.
He watched the dirty water swirl down the drain as Julianna went for round two of rinsing and shampooing. The dog had been coated in a layer of mud and grime. He noticed when she grimaced as she changed positions on her bad hip to reach into the bath. His frown only deepened. He helped her from the bathroom floor when the bath was over, practically lifting her entirely on his own to spare her having to put any pressure on her still bad leg.
Owen's eyes narrowed at the suggestion of Cain. He gestured at the dog, which appeared happy enough to him. "Well, he...she...it? Appears healthy enough." He argued, weakly, against having the dog checked by their son, the vet. "Why don't you just pick a name already, I know we're keeping it." He ignored the part where she mentioned it might be someone else's dog. If it was chipped, the best way to find out was at the vet.
They had several guest bedrooms but Owen didn't need to ask which she meant. There was one where Julianna essentially stored extra things for the dogs. "Yes, I'll check." He conceded but hesitated to leave her wondering if she felt unsteady on the leg. "I'll be right back." He decided she could manage and anyways he would only be gone a moment. He returned with a soft blue bed that looked too big for the little stray she'd found, but it would do in a pinch.
"Where do you want it."
