"Hey, Lily and Faith need walking!" Emma snickered, "Besides, I haven't seen you around lately so what else was I supposed to think of? Hmm? Can't have it both ways now."
She looked down, "Yeah, they'll be back, but, there's some truly bad stuff happening back home and Ang needed to go be there and sort it out," she shrugged, "I can't go with, but Alec and Gavin will be there, which means I get to look after Faith."
With a quick shake of her head she looked back up, "So, if dog walking is not to your taste, what other suggestions do you have? And yes, they will be back, just, not sure when."
