A Mooarvelous 
Babysitter

	Zach was not a happy camper. Sitting in his car seat as his mommy drove him to the babysitters house. The NEW babysitter  nonetheless!  Mommy got called into work under an emergency and the normal sitter was unavailable but was able to refer her to some named… Moogie. 

	Looking at his little paws he grimaced a bit. Mommy could’ve at least gotten him out of his pajamas before rushing him out to the car. But nope she didn’t even give him his usual morning bottle of milk. Needless to say he was quite the grumpy puppy. It didn’t help that they pulled into the driveway sooner than he expected. 

	As mommy lifted him out of his car seat with his diaper bag over her shoulder she gave his ears a gentle lick with her cat tongue and kissed his cheek.

	“Now puppy I want you to be good for miss Moogie alright. Be mommy’s big boy and make a good first impression mister grumpy pants.” Giving him a little nuzzle and a raspberry on his cheek Zach couldn’t help but giggle a bit. His mommy was the best at making him smile. Though as she reached out to ring the doorbell he suddenly felt a very odd emotion at the time. Fear. 

	A tightness in his little puppy chest. Butterflies in his tummy went on a rampage as he tried to save face and be strong for his mommy. Movement on the other side of the door made his ears perk up. As he tried to hide in his mommy’s shoulder peeking out the door opened revealing his babysitter for the day. 

	Moogie  stood in a very comfortable looking purple T-shirt and shorts in all of her bovine beauty. She couldn’t have been over twenty-two her fur a brown color with a bit of white just above her chest where the shirt covered the rest. An ear tag on her ear displaying “917” Had Zach a little curious as he peeked out a bit more from mommy’s shoulder. Smiling at the obviously nervous puppy Moogie spoke to his mommy.

	“Good morning miss Mari was it? Having to rush into work is such a big pain huh? And this must be little Zach huh? You doing ok this morning little puppy? Oh where are my manners if you’ve got a second step inside I can get you some coffee or tea before you have to go.“

	 As mommy stepped into the house politely declining the drink as she was in a bit of a rush Zach started sizing up Moogie a bit more.

	 The smile on her face seemed genuine enough. But Zach still wasn’t convinced this cow was a cool fur or not. Mommy seemed to really like how she talked and how polite she was. He guessed she was alright. Innocent until proven guilty as they say. 

	As mommy set his diaper bag down and walked into the living room Zach saw a lot of toys strewn about ranging from infant up to someone about his age of two maybe a bit older. She either had children of her own or did a lot of babysitting. 

	Sitting Zach down on a pink blanket laid out on the floor mommy leaned down and gave him a gentle peck on the cheek as well as some gentle scratches behind the ears telling him to be good for Moogie and behave. As she was telling Moogie any emergency contact information she would need heading back to the door.
	Picking up some blocks and stacking them quietly Zach heard the door close knowing that his fate was sealed. Mommy couldn’t come save him if anything happened. He was here alone with a stranger. As his eyes watered a little bit feeling truly scared he heard something he didn’t notice before.

	On the small coffee table in the room sat a baby monitor. And from the monitor came a small voice calling out Sounding very much like Zach right after he wakes up In the morning.

	“Mommy?” Cried the little voice on the monitor as quickly as he heard it Moogie walked back into the room giving Zach a gentle pet on the ears looking at the monitor. 

	“Well would you look at that. My baby boy has good timing doesn’t he? Your little playmate for the day is up puppy can you be a good boy while I go fetch him?”

	Looking a bit disgruntled at the ear pets so suddenly Zach just nodded wondering what it would be like to play with a calf. He had never really had experience with much bigger kids but he had heard that calves were supposed to be a bit bigger than most. 

	As Moogie walked upstairs to what Zach assumed was the nursery he heard the monitor click off and decided that this was a perfect time for some exploration. Standing up he waddled around looking at the toys. She seemed to have quite a nice selection everything from the soft blocks with bells in them to the more advanced tablet type toys for bigger kids.

	As he sat down to play with some blocks he was interrupted by Moogie coming back downstairs carrying her charge. Zach was very surprised to not find a calf! Dressed in a very frilly pink dress and matching rumba panties covering thick diapers with a frilly pink bonnet tied onto her head was in fact a wolf puppy much like Zach himself. 

	though instead of white fur this little girl was gray with a black half moon mark across her left eye. She was blushing quite a bit meeping and trying to hide in her mommy as Moogie walked over and set her down right beside Zach. Smiling down at her two charges Moogie introduced the two wolves.

	“Zach this is my adorable little pup Cale. You two boys have fun and play while I whip us up some yummy breakfast we‘re having some omelets”

	Whoa whoa whoa back up. Boys? Zach looked between Moogie and Cale very confused…a boy? But…but the dress and the pink and the frills? Ok he had to get to the bottom of this and soon. Nodding at Moogies breakfast plans as she walked into the kitchen and started cooking. Waddling over to the other puppy Zach looked at him(?) and smiled offering a paw.

	“Hi I’m Zach! It’s nice to meet you Cale you look vewy… pwetty.”  Blushing and trying to hide his face a bit by looking down Cale took the other pups paw and shook it. Getting up the nerve to speak.

	“Y-you know ima boy right? How come you‘re not all freaking out and saying I‘m weird and I shouldn‘t dwess like this?” Now truth be told Zach didn’t really have an answer for this. The little pup didn’t have very much experience with other furs and hadn’t ever seen anything like this. But as he thought about it he made a decision. 

	Smiling and hugging Cale Zach  sat down beside the pup and pulled the blocks over between the two of them and started stacking a tall tower! As Cale joined in smiling and giggling a bit Zach spoke up to answer the other pups question.

	“It doesn’t matter what anyone wears! Boys can wear pwetty dwesses and girls and wear cool stuffs with transformers or pokemon on em if they want! As long as we all play together and have funs then it doesn’t matter one bit!” 

	Just as they were about to put the finishing touches on their tower Zach was very suddenly lifted up by brown furred hands and hugged tightly against the chest of Moogie who smiled so brightly down at him her eyes looking a bit glassy like they had tears in them.

	“Y’know when your mommy said you were a sweetie she wasn’t kidding little guy. That was the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever heard come from such a little one. Now let’s go fill you two boys up with some yummy breakfast hm? ” 

	Moogie started making silly faces while reaching down to pick up Cale. As she held the pups in her arms Moogie couldn’t help but giggle a bit at them. They were just too cute as they played together. When they reached the kitchen she set each pup into a highchair tying a bib around their necks and proceeded to feed them omelets.

	“Open wide here comes the airplane whoosh woooooooosh.” Moving the plastic forks around as they opened their mouths for the last bite of each of their omelets. Placing the last bits in and wiping their messy puppy faces Moogie got the little ones out of the chairs and walked over to the fridge pulling out two bottle as she headed for the living room.

	As she settled into the couch laying the puppies on either side of her laying their heads in her lap as she placed the bottle nipples into their mouths turning on a movie to play quietly in the background. As they drank their milk the puppies eyes drooped gently. 

	It had been a fun morning and now with bellies full of  delicious omelet and now filling with milk they snuggled into the warm caring cow that gently hummed a lullaby. And as the milk drained from his bottle Zach fell asleep thinking of all the fun he was going to have with Cale and Moogie when he woke up,
