She ll get summer months

Then Mr. Tavares will have

Moving on.

- The Tavares are moving forward

I can t believe it.

You re, like,

- Well, I just hope
that it catches

the attention of the partners.

- How could it not?

So did Teddy call you?

dining tonight, actually.

I ve got to get

Great job

- Will you tell Jason?

You did great.
- Thank you, Jason.

- Would you like to join Mitch

- The Ballentines
have it booked.

- Yes, they do.
- You want me

on the Ballentine account?
With Mitch?

- I think you re ready.
Do you?

- Absolutely.
- All right, go and do it, then.

- Looks like it was just
a spider bite.

Just give him these

and he should be back to normal
in a day or two.

- Thank you so much,
Dr. Curry.

You have no idea
the difference

this little dog s made
in my dad s life.

After my mother passed away,
he was so heartbroken,

he wouldn t even
leave the house.

- I really didn t do anything.

Most people just need
companionship and loyalty.

Pets provide that, Miss Reed.

- Please, call me Jessica.

Thank you.

- Well, I obviously

You can have the Porsche.

- Now it s just a matter

- Hey, how s the budget looking?

- Not too good.

Looks like we ll have to ask
for an increased grant

of 8% just to break even.

- There s no way the board
is gonna allow that.

Last year, the change
was a 3% decrease.

What about raising the fees

and general costs
that we charge people?

- Some of our patients
have owners

who can barely afford
the cost as it is.

- Sometimes you re fine
if they don t even pay at all.

- I m gonna rework
the budget proposal,

and if I really stress

all the good
that these animals do,

the board ll have to increase
the grant.

- And if they don t?

That grant is our largest
source of income.

- I m sure they ll approve it.

They have to.

at a charity run last year.

- Oh, she does, like,
100 of those a year.

the girl of my dreams.

- I gave her my card

- Hmm.

who gets what.

- And how does Daisy
come into play?

- It s a client s pet.

I was asked to watch her
until a settlement is reached.

I m hoping that it will
impress my boss.

Besides, it s really the animals

Isn t that right, Daisy?

They re the ones who are there

After all, it is where they

Daisy ll want to chew
right through those.

Do you move it to the bedroom

- Uh, no.
Should I?

- Definitely.

Dogs are social animals.

They don t like to sleep alone.

your home looks
pretty accommodating for a dog.

Just keep your clothes away
if you don t want them chewed on

and make sure any food
is in a safe place.

would have gone uneaten

if she didn t always

When can we train that out?

I feel like every time
she sees me,

she wants to jump on me.

- Well, jumping is actually

an instinctive display
of affection from a dog.

When they re puppies,
they learn

to lick their mother s
face and eyes.

That s why Daisy
jumps on you.

She just wants
to lick your face

because she recognizes you
as her mother.

- That actually sounds
kind of sweet.

- Yeah.

- I know she doesn t look
like a handful,
