"Playtime" with Bubbles

"Get me out of here!" Vanessa called out, hoping that someone would hear her. "I am NOT a freaking dog! And I DEMAND that you people let me out of here right now, or I'll sue this backwater hillbilly town for every - "

Vanessa yelped in pain as she felt a tug on her hair, bringing her to the concrete floor of the kennel. Groaning in pain, the former CEO looked up and saw Bubbles standing over her, panting happily as she let out a playful bark.

"You again?!" Vanessa shrieked as she got into a sitting position, "I already told you, you stupid mutt! Leave. Me. Alone! You and I are not - EEK!"

Vanessa let out a squeal as Bubbles pounced on her, the great dane pinning her to the ground as she continuously licked the former CEO's face.

"GET OFF OF ME, YOU STUPID DOG!" Vanessa snapped as she spat and sputtered, pushing the dog off of her.

But Bubbles wasn't done yet. The great dane immediately began to bark playfully as she pounced on Vanessa again, this time pinning her on her stomach as the dog playfully and gently tugged at the former CEO's hair.

"HELP!" Vanessa cried out, "HELP ME!"

"Bubbles! Lay down!"

Bubbles immediately stopped what she was doing and walked away towards a pet bed in the back, wagging her tail happily as she curled up in the little bed.

Vanessa looked up to see Dr. Cosmos and Dakota standing in front of the door to the kennel. The cowgirl shook her head and closed her eyes, saying, "Even when she's among her own kind, she still can't comprehend the fact that dogs. Don't. Talk!"

"OH, SHUT UP!" Vanessa snapped angrily, "You weren't the one in here getting attacked by that brainless flea bag!"

"What did you just say about my sweet baby Bubbles?" Dr. Cosmos asked coldly, glaring down the woman in front of her.

"That THING belongs to you?!" Vanessa shrieked before rolling her eyes, "Of course it belongs to you. Because everyone in this town is either completely stupid or FREAKING CRAZY!"

"You're right, Dakota." Dr. Cosmos said as she opened the kennel, grabbing a leash and attaching it to the collar around Vanessa's neck. "She does need to learn that she's not supposed to talk. Fortunately, what we discussed earlier will make sure she finally gets it."

"... What?" Vanessa asked in shock as Dr. Cosmos and Dakota lead her out of the kennels. She didn't know what they were planning, but she did know that she didn't like the sound of it...
