They shook each other's hands and sized each other up. I shifted nervously.
Leo stared Moose in the eye while he addressed me. "You taking in another stray, Danny? I think you got enough dogs around here."
I gasped in horror. "Leo!"
Moose narrowed his eyes at Leo, then turned to me. "I'd better get going, Danny. Thanks for the trim."
"Wait," I said. "Are you sure you won't stay for dinner?"
"I'm sure he's got places to be, Danny," Leo said. "We don't want to keep him."
I ignored Leo. "When will I see you again?" I asked Moose.
Moose glanced at Leo. "I'm not sure, Danny. I don't know for sure if I'll stick around."
He walked to the front door and opened it. He was about to leave and I just knew he wasn't ever coming back. The thought made my stomach wrench.
"Wait!" I called out.
