Dinah wagged faster. "Oh, yes! S.Q.! You've heard of us?" She waited for an answer for a moment, but then spun around with even more joyful tail-wagging to greet the shaggy silver aussie who was approaching them. "Cobalt! There are friends here!"<br /><br />Cobalt reached them, accepted Dinah's affectionate nuzzle to his neck and then flopped onto his side. "Sorry I can't do the meet-and-greet thing. I'm beat. Training, you know." He rolled his head toward Kendra and his tail thumped on the ground. "Who's your friend?"

09-1-2010 at 6:51 AM

Frape jumps up. "where is he?! where is he?!" *notices the new dogs* "oh, hello there. My name is Frappe~ as Dinah has already told you. Now I must leave so I may clean myself a bit better for ~him~":

09-1-2010 at 6:49 AM

"Thanks for telling me Dinah. I think my crazed personality might help me fit in" She smiles and lays down in the shade of a bush.

Sheena passes out on the ground into a deep sleep. Her paws twitches as she dreams.

09-1-2010 at 6:44 AM

"Sorry, you scared me it didn't all enter my brain clearly." Kendra steps closer to the dog. "What's your name? I'm Kendra.." She said with a smile and small wag of her tail. She sniffed the new dog more deeply and knew right away this was for sure a slytherin dog. "Your master is the slytherin queen isn't she?"

09-1-2010 at 6:42 AM

Dinah wagged her tail and gave a doggy grin. "The joker's name is Frappucino, and you're welcome to stay. We don't bite." She tossed her head into the air and sniffed the breeze, and her tail wagged emphatically. "You won't be bereft much longer, Frappe. Cobalt's here at the trial, and I can smell him coming now!"

09-1-2010 at 6:30 AM

*realizes she has just been mocked*<br />"Wait a second, you-FINE, I guess I was wrong again. Sheesh, there are way too many borders here, when is a beautiful aussie like me going to come along?" Frappe laid herself against a rock to dramatize her "sorrow". "Oh, if only he was here, then he could take my paw and say 'come fly with me and we shall be together forever' oh it wold be wonderful...*trails off here*"

09-1-2010 at 6:30 AM

"Oh, ummmm hi...I missed your name. I feel really out of place here." Sheena looks around nervously. "Do you think I could stick around for a little until I rest up?"

09-1-2010 at 6:28 AM

Dinah blinked. "I said you were from the german shepherd kennel, not that I thought you were one." She cocked her head to one side. "Do you think I can't recognize my own kind?" A snort, and then Dinah stood up, tail wagging slowly in confusion. "And... uh... 'slytherin dog'? What do you mean?"

09-1-2010 at 6:18 AM

Frappe looks at Kendra and laughs at Dinah. "you were wrong! HA! thats not a german shepherd, and I should've known better than to trust you." Frappe walks over to the border collie, so you see, ummm, well," at this point she notices Sheena moving around in the back. "oh, so there is another one here, is there?" Frappe pats Kendra on the head, excuse em moi." she walks over to Sheena.

09-1-2010 at 6:03 AM

Sheena wanders in confused by the smells of many strange dogs. Exhausted from her time alone and with being afraid, she doesn't know what to say.

09-1-2010 at 5:51 AM

Kendra jumps back in alarm tail between her legs. Shaking slightly then she notices the other dog is being friendly and starts to relax. After a few minutes of staring at this new dog she stands up straight and shakes her self off tail still between legs some. "I'm one of the Acester dogs, yes. I'm not a german shepherd though I'm a border collie.. I just live with them all. Are you one of the slytherin dogs?"

09-1-2010 at 5:27 AM

Frappe sighed, glad that the new dog had dropped the conversation about her being in love. "I think I've heard of Acester's kennels before, although I haven't been anywhere else but where I am now and my previous home. And what's a German Shepherd? I've also heard of them but I don't recall meeting any in my lifetime." Frappe followed Dinah over to where the new dog was. :I just hope it isn't a bear mixed German Shepherd, THAT would be scary." Frapp decided after making that statement to turn around and go back over to Hecubus. "I suddenly don't feel like trying my luck. Have fun Dinah!"

09-1-2010 at 4:55 AM

"Bear? Most bears are all right. Besides, if it was a bear you'd smell it." Dinah bared her teeth as though smelling something bad and then sneezed playfully and shook her fur again, shaking off this subject the way she'd shaken off the last one. "In love, are you?" Dinah dropped her prim pose and flopped onto her belly, then onto her side. She waved a paw at Frappe and thumped her tail on the ground. "That's so sweet!" From her position on the ground, she could see under some of the nearby bushes, and a flash of brown-and-grey fur caught her eyes. Dinah rolled back onto her belly and crawled toward the new dog, keeping her ears flat and trying not to seem threatening-- this new dog smelled of frustration and maybe a little fear... and something else-- German Shepherd? It suddenly clicked.<br /><br />"You're one of Acester's dogs, right? From that german shepherd kennel? My master brings home a lot of dogs from there."

09-1-2010 at 4:05 AM

"I think I'll pass Hecubus." Frappe just takes a paw and ruffles her tail. "Of course I've met him. I might've been too young to remember but I will always remember those beautiful eyes and beautiful coat, and oh, i think I'm in love again. Say, Dinah, do you hear that rustling in the bushes? Oh! Imagine it's a bear of some sort? Oh, I can't stand them."

Kendra runs and tries to jump through a tire on the agility course set up by the edge of the forest. She's half way through when her back legs catch and she falls flat on her face. Crying softly she gets back up her self confidence even lower than before. Then she realizes some of the maxed out dogs had seen her fail and were laughing at her. Kendra turns tail and dashes off to the edge of the forest not being able to handle their mean laughs. She wanders along the edge of the forest until she spots some other dogs! She quickly drops down low to the ground and rolls under a thick bush. She then turns her focus to watching them curiously unsure if these new dogs are friendly or not. Kendra then spots a quick flash of movement far past the dogs, something that looked dusk color.. she shakes her head guessing she's seeing things and goes back to watching the dogs.

08-31-2010 at 10:47 AM

A strange dog wanders in the distance, far enough into the woods not to be seen, but close enough to observe the commotion. The wind blew towards the strange dog, and he lifted his head. Tentatively smelling the other dogs' scents on the wind, he slowly advanced closer to the group. His dusky coloring allowed him to slip into the shadows, and he was agile enough to move quickly yet silently.

08-31-2010 at 8:03 AM

"Yes, very nice bug," Dinah replied, used to such antics from her own pups. "Don't eat it though, that kind tastes nasty."<br /><br />She sat down and wrapped her tail around her back legs primly, almost like a cat. "I hadn't heard that about Chip and Oreo. But you know male dogs. Always chasing whatever female is most receptive." She shook her fur as though shaking off the subject, and gave Frappe a sly look. "Speaking of male dogs, my master has been talking about you and Cobalt for ages." Dinah's head tilted to one side and she snorted. "Have you even met him?"

08-31-2010 at 7:44 AM

Who has absolutely no clue as to what Frappe and Dinah are discussing as his attention is fully on the bug he found crawling on the tennis ball. Being so young, he has the attention span of a flea. Following the bug, he walks right into Frappe, knocking himself onto his butt. 'Sorry man, didn't see you, check out this shiny bug!'

08-31-2010 at 7:28 AM

Frappe sat down and managed to lift a paw up high enough to facepalm. "You are by far the craziest dog I know, did you know that?" Of course, I think that Rolo just might be as crazy as you are. Meh, it runs in the blood I guess. ANYWAYS, (Frappe pauses to stand up and saunter over to Dinah) how are you and Chip doing? I heard that there is some competition between you and Oreo, the aussie. Of course, someone like him wouldn't stoop so low as to crossbreed, now would he? I say," Frappe grabs Dinah's collar, "that you put him on a tighter leash, my dear. You know what I mean?"

Frappe just looks away from Hecubus

08-31-2010 at 7:26 AM

"Ooh, I do!" Dinah jumped over Frappe and wagged her tail at Hecubus. "Let me have the ball!"
