"My family is never far away dogs or not." That was a for better and worse sort of situation. It was good to have her family, to have that sort of support system because most days she needed it. Annoying as they might be at times, Lavender didn't think she would even be surviving without them forcing their ways into her life.
"We have another dog," she said. They were older, but well loved and looked after dogs and she really couldn't imagine not having them. "He's a Jack Russell, named Bailey." She didn't normally make the connection that was also Ron's patronus and the dog came into her life at about the same time he did, but with Hermione standing there she couldn't help but make that leap.
Which then got her thinking about what George said about being able to send messages by patronus. "Do you think you'd want to come for a walk with us?" She said because she didn't really want to be talking about DA stuff here. "Baby Girl seems to like you and always like the extra company."
