The Boys


The relationship was rather one sided at first. Otis was fascinated by Jack, couldn't get enough of him in fact, but the feeling was not mutual. Jack didn't know that Otis existed. It continued on that way for a few months. Otis would sniff at Jack and give him the occasional lick but Otis' presence didn't register with Jack except as maybe a large wet tongue. In the past few weeks things have begun to change. Jack began to notice Otis more, watching him walk across the room or listening to the jingle of his collar. When Jack was on the floor and he saw Otis he would smile. Then, as Jack has begun to become more coordinated he decided what he really wanted to do was touch Otis. Now whenever Jack sees Otis he reaches out. He has sucked on Otis' ear, pinched his leg, grabbed handfuls of fur, and tried to snuggle Otis. The relationship is still one sided. Otis doesn't want much to do with Jack at this point, the touching is taking some getting used to.
