Chapter 10

The next morning, Colonel MacKenzie woke herself with a start. Something was wetting her loins and she couldn't remember having company that night.

When she looked down on herself she broke out laughing. It was Jingo, her dog. She quickly remembered what had happened the previous evening and didn't try stopping the dog as he began licking her across her pussylips.

When Mac looked over to her night-table her eyes bulged. She was late for work. Her always time accurate mind had completely lost track of time.

"Damn Jingo," she gasped. "Look what you made me do. Harm'll never let me live this down."

Startling her dog off the bed, Mac jumped out and rushed through her morning routine, skipping a bath and breakfast.

She ran down the stairs of her apartment and jumped into her car. To make matters worse for her, she was stopped by a cop for running a light which made her late even more.

When she walked into the JAG offices Admiral Chedwiggen was talking to his aid Seaman Tyner.

"Nice of you to join us Colonel," she heard him say.

"Sorry to be so late Admiral," she apologized. "It'll never happen again."

"I would hope not," the Admiral said, turning back to his office.

"So, what happened to you?" Harm smirked at her. "Bedbug bit you."

"Don't even start with me today Harm," she shot back jokingly.

"Good morning Ma'am," Gunny greeted her. "Have some coffee?"

"That would be great Gunny, thank you," she said as she walked into her office.

The day dragged on and on for her that day. No matter what she did, she just couldn't get her mind off what she and her dog had done last night. On a number of occasions she had to be snapped out of her daydreaming by some subordinates.

It was nearing three o'clock in the afternoon when she spied Lieutenant Simms walking into the offices with a trolley full of boxed documents. Obviously she had been kept busy most of the day on this task, most likely by Commander Rabb. He seemed to get the bigger cases for JAG.

That was when it dawned on her that the Roberts were dog- sitting for her while she was away on assignment.

'What if they noticed Jingo acting up?' She began to worry. 'How will I explain that to them?'

It was then that she decided to find out if they suspected anything about Jingo.

"Lieutenant Simms," she called out. "Could I see you a moment."

"Yes ma'am," the petite blonde answered back, following the Colonel back into her office.

"Close the door please," Mac told her as she sat behind her desk.

Lieutenant Simms did as instructed then stood before her superior.

"Sit Harriet," Mac offered. "This isn't an official matter."

"It isn't ma'am?" The Navy Lieutenant asked.

"No it isn't," Mac smiled at her. "Now, will you please relax and sit down."

Lieutenant Simms sat in a chair facing her and Mac looked into her eyes for signs of disgust about her dog.

"I just wanted to ask you something Harriet," she told her.

"About what, ma'am?" Harriet asked.

"You didn't have any problems with Jingo while I was away?" Mac took the plunge. "He wasn't... acting strange or anything, was he?"

"Oh I'm so sorry Colonel," Harriet's eyes welled up with tears. "I really shouldn't have done that with him."

Mac was confused as to Harriet Simms sudden breakdown. Then it hit her. It wasn't a previous owner that had taught Jingo how to do it with a woman. It was... Harriet.

"Harriet? You?" Mac gasped. "You did those things with Jingo. But why?"

"I really don't know what came over me, ma'am," she was crying now. "Bud was... Bud was away on assignment with Commander Rabb. And baby AJ was... was crying all night."

"What does that have to do with any of this?" Mac couldn't see any reasoning to Harriet's confessions.

"Well, we... we haven't been... doing it much since AJ was born," Harriet explained. "Then I remembered when I was younger."

"You mean to tell me you've done this before," Mac asked.

"Y... yes ma'am," she confessed. "A girlfriend of mine introduced it to me one night. Then I just couldn't stop myself. I would do our dogs at home whenever I could. Even invite friends over."
