Another good part.
Check the last line of the 4th paragraph. There is a mistake there.
The pets could revert to their undomesticated form if left for a long time. Could this be the reason Drake needs Dusty to keep them company while he is away?
Well, I have great fears for Dusty's safety considering the fact that she may not afford those creatures the time Drake would normally afford them.

@michelle.gent, please as you make your twist through the next part, let nothing happen to Dusty because I have fallen in love with her person.
