I nodded at his answer. I knew he needed water, but I didn't want to get away from him to get it yet. Maybe when he fell back asleep. I held his tail, so he would know I wouldn't go anywhere, and the other had kept stroking his fur lovingly. "There's always time for that, love. You need to rest now, regain your strength. As soon as you're better, I'll take you there." I sighed. It would be a very unpleasant meeting, to say the least. But he was right. We had to do it, and as soon as possible. All of them have to meet him and know he is part of the pack.<br/><br/>I hugged him with only one arm and moved for a better position. "Rest some more, puppy. I'll stay here as you rest, and then when you wake up I'll bring you water. Don't worry about anything. I'll take care of you, okay? Just relax and rest a little more. You have been through a lot."
