"I-I know Pretzy, I just don't like close contact.." she said, but then her ears began to ring when Sunny started crying loudly. "Ow!" The female had to put paws over her ears.

Sunny used her front left leg to dry her tears and looked up at Pretzy.
"I was just talking to Faunie about my mommy and showed a picture of her," she said, trying to calm herself down from crying. "I'm sorry. I just couldn't help but cry when I look at the picture of my mommy."
As she sheds a few more tears, she faced Faunie to talk to her again.
"I'm fine, Faunie," she said. "This just happens everytime I look at this picture. In fact, I cry when someone talks mean to me, when I get trapped in a certain place, and when someone or something hits me. I get hurt very easily."
She then places the photo of her mother back between the right side of her body and the strap of her wheelchair.
"And I wouldn't be crying everytime I look at the picture of my mommy if she is still alive right now," she said.

Joey couldn't help but overhear Sunny talking about her mommy. "Doesn't she have a new mother now?" he thought. He also wondered if there was some way to get Chels to overcome her fears of physical contact and have the two of them could become closer friends.

Faunie was a little shocked when she heard the last sentence. "You mean..." she began to speak, but then she became silent again. "Do you want to talk about it? If you want to, of course?"

Chels turned as well so she could listen to the convo between Sunny and Faunie. Though she remained quiet, not wanting to interrupt them.

Sunny was able to finally calm down completely so she can speak clearly to Faunie again.
"Well, some of the other pups in this farm already knew about what happened to my mommy," she said. "So, I think it would be fair if I explain it to you. One night, she got hit by a truck, and she died after that. That made my daddy get a huge fear of trucks. After my mommy died, my aunt stepped in to look after me and my brother, and she and I have been very close friends ever since. But as good as she was at taking care of me and my brother, she can never replace my mommy, and neither can Windy."

Pretzy was heartbroken to hear this. She spoke up. "How long has Windy been taking care of you? Why don't you give her some time?"

"Aww.... That's just... horrible!" Faunie said, feeling sad after hearing Sunny's story. "I guess I am one of the lucky ones who never had to go through anything like that... Yet."

"Windy has been taking care of me for weeks after she and my daddy got married," Sunny said to Pretzy. "I have given her time, and I think she did a great job at taking care of me just like my mommy and my aunt did. My aunt is now married to Snowy, Windy's brother, and they just have two pups of their own not too long ago."
Sunny turned to face Faunie again, wondering what she meant when she said that last sentence, but not bothering to ask about it.
"My family is now bigger than it was before, and they all love me very much," she said. "But I still miss my mommy a lot. Not only do I wish to have good legs and not get hurt easily, but I also wish there is a way to keep myself from crying when I look at the picture of my mommy."

Joey added to this conversation, "Just be thankful you didn't have someone who screamed SHUT UP or STOP IT at you every time you cried. My original dad used to do that to me ALL THE TIME!"

Faunie nodded. "I understand! But maybe we could figure something out to solve those problems. I'm sure of it! We just have to look in the right place." Then she heared Joey talking. "Really? Why would he do something like that?"

"Eugh.." Chels shivered, paws still on her ears. She was beginning to feel queasy due to all the loud noise.

"I hope so," Sunny said to Faunie, and she turned to face Joey after she heard him say what his original father used to do to him. "Your original daddy used to do WHAT?!"
Sunny was shocked about this only for a few seconds, and kept herself quiet for another few seconds to make sure she is ready to hear about Joey's original father.
"He screamed stuff like that to you?" she asked with a tone of concern in her voice. "Where and when did this all start?"

"Well," Joey started, "I didn't know my father very much. You see, I've spent longer with the Dearly's than I did with my original family. From what I remember, my parents often got frustrated with me because they didn't know how to handle autistic children, and I think my dad had Tourette's syndrome."
