Max and Chad heeled next to the SUV, Chad stole a wistful glance at his home. He knew better than to try to run for the house. His father already had seen him, and thought he was just another dog. He doubted his mother or other brother would recognize him as anything other than his brother's latest dog student. Brad took rubber gloves, a couple baggies, and a box of wipes out of the SUV. Chad suddenly realized that he hadn't emptied his bowels or bladder yet. Damn, Brad was going to make him go in front of his own house? Yeah, Brad's really rubbing his nose in it, oh, gawd, he wouldn't would he? Yeah, he would. Don't go until ordered. Chad slouched at the prospect. Brad chuckled as he noticed Chad's defeated stance.
"Alright Max, Chad, with me."
Max was right next to Brad his head leading the way. When Chad tried to move up with Brad, Max nosed him back. Chad was beta, he walked behind. Chad wasn't about to let Max do this, so he quickly slipped around to Brad's other side. Max quickly slipped around to the same side, ran in front of Chad, and shoved his ass in Chad's face. Chad was about to retaliate when he heard familiar laughter.
"Hey, Brad, that Max's new bitch? Looks like he don't know it yet?"
"Yeah, Thad, it's my new student. Max hasn't, uh, bonded with him quite yet."
"Knotted you mean, right? What's his name, or is he neutered?"
"Not neutered yet, and you'll get a kick out of his name?"
"Oh, this isn't Karl's dog Chad is it?"
Both Chad and Brad looked quizzically at Chad's kid brother Thad. Thad responded to Brad, he assumed the dog just looked because he heard his name.
"Oh, how do I know? Well, dad told us about Karl's dog being named after Chad. Didn't realize it was a poodle though. Too bad Chad's up at the cabin this weekend. Dad said we might go up to surprise him tomorrow."
"I dunno, I thought dad agreed to give Chad some alone time?" Brad said. Chad could smell fear in his sweat. Apparently, Brad had arranged for Chad to have a cover story for the weekend. Hm, if Karl kept him a dog 24/7, was Chad going to go missing in the lake? If Karl turned him back on Tuesday, no one would be missing him until then, was that it?
Chad barked.
"Hey, I should text Chad a photo of his namesake," Thad said pulling out a phone.
"Great idea, but wait a minute. You can get an action shot, I'm training Chad to piss and shit on command."
"Cool, I'll suggest in the text that Chad should sign up for your next obedience school class!"
"Okay, Max, Chad stay," Brad ordered, as he tied their leads to the metal stake in the ground.
Then he ordered, "Pay attention, Chad. Max, poo-poo!"
"Pay attention, Chad?" laughed Thad.
"Hey aren't you filming yet?" Brad asked.
"Oh, gotcha!" winked Thad, Brad was hamming up for Chad.
Max squatted a pushed out two massive turds.
"Good boy, Max," Brad said giving Max a treat.
"Okay, let's see how smart you are, Chad, poo-poo!"
Chad squatted and pushed out a medium size turd.
"Good, doggy Chad," Brad said feeding Chad a dog treat.
Brad donned his gloves and baggied Max's and Chad's poops. Then, he said, "Chad, pee pee!"
Chad stood up and raised his hind leg, glanced at Thad videoing him, glared at Brad, and pissed on the grass next to him.
"Good, doggy Chad," Brad said giving Chad another treat. He nodded at Thad to keep filming.
"Now, Max," Brad said slowly, "Pee pee!"
Max standing next to Chad raised his leg and pissed all over Chad.
Chad tugged at his lead, but it was tied fast, he yelped and barked, Thad and Brad laughed.
"Hey, Chad, Max must think this dog with your same name is you. He just pissed all over him the same way he did to you last week," Thad laughed.
"Just marking his territory, establishing dominance, but now we're going to have to wash Chad before I can put him back in my SUV. You wanna help, Thad?"
"I'll get the hose. But maybe we should wait until after breakfast. Mom sent me out to tell you it would be ready in 15 minutes, and that was over 10 minutes ago," Thad said.
"Okay, let's get some bowls of dog food for Max and Chad, and I'll get washed up for breakfast," Brad said.
Thad reappeared with a big bag of kibble and Bounder, Chad's dog, in tow.
"Might as well feed Bounder at the same time," Thad said tossing 3 plastic bowls on the ground in a row.
Chad glanced at Bounder and Max. They stood and waited in front of their bowls as Thad filled them. Then Brad said, "Bounder, eat!" Bounder commenced eating, but he kept looking at the poodle and sniffing between bites.
"Chad, eat!" Brad said. Chad lowered his head and sniffed his kibble.
"Chad, eat!" Brad said again, Max growled softly. Chad ate.
"Max, eat!"
Then Brad and Thad went inside. Thad was already editing the video he had made to send Chad. He had no idea his brother Chad was naked, soaking with Max's piss, and staked in the backyard eating dog food.
