Daminette December 2023: 17-Bodyguard

Damian had heard the whispers and rumors when he first moved to Paris. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the baker's daughter and fashion designer had been head over heels for Adrien Agreste, the model. That had been years ago. Some of their friends refused to believe she moved on from her gigantic crush. He had heard the whispers of how she babbled and froze with just a glance. How she had memorized his schedule and planned their future together. He had heard how she had fallen for him with a simple gesture of giving her his umbrella in the rain. The only thing that had ever stopped them from getting together was how blind Adrien was. He never saw Marinette was anything more than a friend and everyone knew it. That might have been true; all of it. Damian knew that Marinette no longer felt like that, if it had ever been true.

From what he observed, Adrien was the one now persuing the baker's daughter. If any of it had been true, Marinette had long moved on. Adrien was constantly trying to get her attention and would search the halls for her. If anything, the roles had reversed. Adrien Agreste now stalked Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

Adrien Agreste was still 'blind' in his book. The model took zero notice how Marinette reacted to being around him. He noticed the subtle flinches when Adrien called her name from down the hall. He noticed the terror in her eyes, before putting a smile on her face to greet a friend.

Damian froze the moment he saw her.

'Marinette? What is she doing here? I thought she couldn't have a pet in the bakery. Why is she in the pet store?'

His eyes followed her as she moved away from the front and towards the middle. She was almost hidden by the shelves.

'Hamsters?'

"Marinette!" Adrien shouted, "Do you like hamsters, too?"

"Uh, sort of." she answered, weakly.

"They're amazing!" he cried back, getting closer to her and the hamsters.

Even from where Damian stood, he could see Marinette's eyes were searching for a way out; an exit. He quickly put down the giant bag of dog food and rushed over.

"There you are Marinette." he spoke, pulling her towards him.

"Damian!" Mari exclaimed, surprised.

"Did you get lost?" he asked, "I apologize for getting so busy."

"You work here?" Adrien asked, "Why?"

"I volunteer." Damian answered, "I donate to several animal charities nd I like to make sure all the equipment is up to date."

"We can go see the puppies on files now." The Wayne heir suggested, "You said you were looking for a guard dog?"

Marinette lit up quickly, realizing Damian was giving her a way out.

"I'm so glad you remembered." she smiled.

"A dog?" Adrien asked, confused, "What about the hamster?"

"Oh." Mari spoke, "Well, I do think hamsters are cute, but with how scattered brain I get, I might forget instantly. I could forget to feed it or accidentally kill it with a giant roll of fabric." causing the model to wince.

"A dog is better." Marinette stated, "Their routine would be my routine."

"But why a guard dog?" he questioned.

"Why do you have a bodyguard?" Damian asked.

"Huh?" confusing the model.

"Guard dogs keep their owners safe." the Wayne heir answered, "They are loyal to a fault and will attack, if necessary." pulling Marinette closer to him.

Marinette blushed at the closeness. She quickly placed a hand on his chest to get his attention.

"We should go look at those files." She suggested, "You mentioned....training and I wan to make sure they are trained before university."

"Of course." Damian replied, leading Marinette to the back room and away from Adrien's prying eyes.

Damian picked up a radio to give the other workers a warning about Agreste. On the security cameras, he watched as the blonde model turned away and walk out the store.

'Seemed Marinette was his only goal here.'

Marinette sighed in relief as Damian placed the radio down.

"Thank you, Damian." Marinette spoke.

He nodded his head in understanding.

"But how did you know?" Mari asked.

"You are uncomfortable with him." Damian stated.

Marinette nodded her head.

"You look scared when you hear him call out your name in school." Damian spoke, "Sometimes, you turn pale. Doesn't seem like he notices."

"I thought no one noticed." Marinette answered, with a smile, "Thank you so much."

Damian chuckled, "Now, would you actually like a guard dog?"

"I would love one," Mari sighed, "but since I still live with my parents-"

"The bakery." The Wayne heir concluded.

She nodded her head and gave a shrug. Damian went over to a drawer and pulled out some files for an adoption event taking place soon. Marinette looked at him confused.

"It would not matter if I brought another dog home. At this point, it's expected. You would just have to wait." Damian stated.

Marinette smiled happily, "Really?"

"Only if you do not mind coing over to bond with your dog." he declared.

Marinette hugged him and quickly felt him flinch.

"Sorry!" she cried, pulling away from him, "Um, I'll just look at these."

Marinette browsed over the files he had handed her. Damian could tell she was seriously considering the guard dog idea. She started by ruling out the smaller dogs, he expected someone like her to own. By the end of her selection, she had five folders left.

"What do you think, Damian?" Mari asked, "Is there any of them I should rule out?"

Damian looked over the folders. There was a Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepard, Doberman, and an Akita.

"Two of these would make great pets, but not guard dogs." He spoke, "I believe you should look online and learn more about them before deciding. You need to make sure you can take care of them. I don't just mean their diet and health. There are many people who return animals because they have gotten bored or because they didn't expect how much time they would have to use to train it."

Marinette smiled, "Thank you. I can tell you really care about these animals. I can let you know by the end of the week."

Mari stood up, ready to leave. She bit her lip in hesitation.

"Are you alright?" He questioned.

"Um." She began, "Nevermind. It's stupid."

"What is it?" Damian asked, "You clearly think it is important. Why do you hesitate?"

Marinette blushed, "Do you think, until I get a guard dog- Can you be my guard dog? Bodyguard! I meant bodyguard; not guard dog! At school! Keep Adrien away from me?"

Damian chuckled, "I wouldn't mind at all."

Mari lit up at his response, "Oh! I can bring you breakfast! Are there any pastries you prefer?"

"I prefer savory over sweets." he answered.

"I can make savory tarts for you." She replied.

With a nod, Marinette left the back room and quickly left the store.

'Guard dog, huh?'

Adrien looked around and spotted Marinette already at school. He couldn't wait to see her and talk to her more about hamsters. As he made his way towards her, he watched as she made her way over to Damian. To his surprise, and likely everyone's surprise, Marinette latched onto his arm. Damian didn't seem to mind and led her away.

Damian smirked as Marinette latched onto his arm. He had seen Adrien arrive and watched as Marinette quickly made her way over to him. He hadn't expected the physical contact, but after he initiated it yesterday, she likely expected it. Damian quickly led her away from prying eyes and hushed whispers. As they walked away, he leaned down to her ear.

"Woof." he barked.

He hadn't expected her to squeak, let alone blush. He chuckled as Marinette puffed up her cheeks and let go of his arm. Cheeks still flushed, she hurried into the school. Damian turned back and caught Adrien staring at them in shock. Damian sent a glare his way before following after Marinette.

A proficient leash walker, Ghost exhibits remarkable tolerance towards other dogs while on walks, though his social interactions are still a work in progress.

If you're seeking a furry addition to your family and possess the patience and understanding Ghost deserves, he could be the perfect match for you.

"Let’s talk poop bags”

Hey paw parents,  

I discovered this amazing brand of poop bags. When I tell you the feel, and smell control, is absolutely fab. Yeah, that’s the word FAB! Wild one (dog brand) definitely did their thing with this one. Apparently, it's made of corn starch blend. Making for a super eco-friendly, sleek, & thick poop bag. They're doing the damn thing with this one. Honestly, it was love at first sight, when I saw this product at Target. I had to share this with you guys. Also, yes their bags are biodegradable. Which is amazing for our planet. The color with their minimalist logo pop. It’s so pretty. Here’s a video of my 3 furbabies, & I using this poop bag, as we stroll the dog park.

Till next time!✨🐾🐩

Stuff I learned in pet rescue

I used to foster dogs and ran application screenings for a dog and cat rescue, and I’ll admit it left me pretty jaded about pet culture in general. Here’s some things I learned:

People regularly claim they are rehoming a pet or their pet “unexpectedly” had kittens/puppies - but expect you to pay an adoption fee - as a cover for unlicensed dog breeding or even pet theft and resale. Don’t buy pets from individuals you don’t know. Go to a rescue.

Animal hoarding is more common than you think and doesn’t always look like a TLC special. If you can’t adequately care for them all while maintaining a sanitary home, you’re an animal hoarder. Hoarders love animals and are preoccupied with the idea of animals being put down if they don’t “save” them. Most do not believe they are animal hoarders and will argue that it’s different in their case.

Most people who have large and/or sporting breed dogs should not have them. Some breeds need miles-long runs every day. Some need a job. If you can’t provide the level of activity/engagement the dog needs, you should not have that dog. I will die on this hill.

Most behavioral issues in large dogs are because the dogs aren’t adequately exercised or engaged.

“Demon” small dogs are a thing because people don’t train them. If you don’t train a husky, it will destroy your house. If you don’t train a chihuahua, it can’t do that much damage but it WILL become a demon.

Don’t get a dog or cat unless you’re prepared for that really expensive vet bill. Yes, that excludes a fuckton of people. Sorry, if you’re paycheck-to-paycheck, you should not get a dog or cat. Assume there will be a $2k vet bill. Once it comes, there will be more. Many animals are in rescues because their owners surrendered them due to vet bills.

If you're renting, only get pets that will be accepted at most rentals. Your current place might allow that many cats or a dog that big, but if you have to move, you may suddenly find yourself unable to find housing that allows your pets. Again, this leads to owner surrenders.

There is no good reason to get a pet anywhere but a rescue/shelter. “But you never know if they have issues!” You don’t know that about the puppy from the breeder either. Any dog can have health issues. That’s how health works. “But I want this specific breed!” Find a specific rescue for that breed or wait for one to show up in the shelter. Or just suck it up and get a mutt - they’re usually smarter and healthier anyway. So-called “ethical” breeders aren’t actually regulated in any meaningful way. Plus, you can’t convince me that it’s ever ethical to pay hundreds or thousands to someone who creates more pets on purpose when there are pets already here that need homes.

GALTx eNews: Moving Forward Into Fall

We are relieved to feel the cooler weather of fall approaching. The passing of the oppressive summer heat brings us greater opportunities to welcome new hounds from far away places! Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks as we welcome more Aussies seeking forever homes!

Our adoption coordinators kept busy during our third quarter finding forever homes for 38 hounds! They are currently caught up on adoption applications with none awaiting the availability of an adoption coordinator. If you have been thinking of adopting, this is a great time to check out our available hounds and submit your application! 

Although the hot summer weather precluded large transports, we welcomed 19 hounds to the GALT family: six hounds from Australia, seven American hounds from the racing industry, and six hounds from owners who could no longer care for them. We start the fourth quarter with eight hounds in boarding awaiting much needed foster homes and 40 hounds in foster homes preparing for their journey home forever! 

Our quarterly canine care related expenses came out to about $118,000. Seven of our foster hounds remain on our Injured Reserve roster, receiving care and treatment for various illnesses or injuries. Sadly, our beloved Oakley left us for the rainbow bridge due to a sudden illness. Donations to our Dr. E. Kelly Nitsche Veterinary Care Fund to help with the vet bills and other medical expenses are always appreciated. 

Thanks to our fantastic supporters, we exceeded our North Texas Giving Day goal by raising over $37,000 dollars, including $15,000 in matching funds, and also helped set new records for the Great Global Greyhound Walk! We are excited about our plans for the fourth quarter and hope you’ll remain by our side!

YOU SAY YOU LOVE ANIMALS? Please consider adopting or fostering a homeless dog or cat. You can be a superhero right on your own couch! If you choose to foster, expenses are usually covered by the rescue you foster for and you get first dibs on adopting the dog/cat you foster. Please always choose to adopt when looking for a new family member!

We have a team of rescuers who will be glad to help assist you in the Maryland area. Please email us at [email protected] and let us know if you have some space and a lot of love to share!
