"do you think they speak english?" i ask ally as we walk towards the vet clinic with toulouse walking besides me as i held his leash, surprisingly he didn't seem afraid of the vet like most dogs.

ally shrugged her shoulders, "possibly but then again this is a more local city of france, not like paris." she reaches for the door handle and pushes it open, letting toulouse in first.

"wait-" i begin stopping ally in her tracks, "what if i can't adopt toulouse today?" i ask and ally shakes her head.

"no you can, i checked the french rules, you followed them all, you moved toulouse over to an adoption centre for the legal hold period so now you're free to adopt them, the only thing you didn't do was check if he was microchipped so we're doing that now, but the people at the adoption centre assured us that he probably doesn't have an owner, this is just a formality."

"bonjour." i say, as we reach the reception desk, there stood a petite lady with a blonde bob and these wide rimmed black glasses, "english?" i ask, making her nod her head at me.

"how can i help?" she replies, looking up to see me holding toulouse, "stray?"

i nod my head at her comment, "yes, i found him yesterday and i wanted to see if he has a microchip?"

"yes we can do that." she tells me, going back to her computer, "doctor is free in fifteen minutes, good?" ally nods her head.

we both take a seat in the waiting area, watching animals go in and out, there was also a lot of noise but that's to be expected.

"toulouse? miss atkins?" i hear the veterinarian say as they poke their head out the door, ally taps my knee and we both get up, making our way over to them.

once we got inside the door was shut immediately behind us, "so what seems to be the problem?" the veterinarian asks as i place toulouse on the observation table.

"i found toulouse a couple days back and he's a stray, i just wanted to know if he's microchipped, also if there's any vaccines that he needs to do, i'm willing to pay for it, regardless of if he has an owner or not."

"that's very noble of you, we can get that done right away."

-

after about a half hour diagnosis the veterinarian told us that he wasn't in fact microchipped and he had to get all the vaccines, which toulouse didn't like but he was a trooper and pulled through.

"ok all set, you can now take toulouse over to the adoption centre and finally adopt him, i wish you all the best."

"thank you doctor laurent." i tell him, ally thanks him too as she opens the door and we walk out.

"now back to the adoption centre to adopt this little cutie."

"i'm so excited! he's finally going to be mine!" i squeal.
