Though he didn't show it on the outside, on the inside, his heart melted, his first dog maybe liked him, even if it's probably just a little teeny bit. With an ever so slight, barely noticeable smile he unclipped the navy blue harness and lead off of the cage door, it felt a little cold from the early morning air, it'd no doubt warm up soon enough once Black was wearing it.

'Black' he thought, 'I wonder if he'd be okay if I just called him that, or just Bullet?'

Unlatching the gate he opened it and stepped in slowly, closing it behind him he hoped that Theo wouldn't change his mind in a split second and attack, else he'd be stuffed, he wouldn't be able to get back out the gate quick enough.

Turning the harness in his hands he tried his best to figure out how to put it on, still struggling after a short moment he gave up for a second, instead, he extended his hand hoping to give Theo a little hello pat, he waited though, instead of going straight for it he paused, he wanted to make sure Black Bullet would be okay with it first.

Bear smiled when Whiskey sat up and nibbled at her fingers, she laughed a little when she realized she was trying to get at the toy, twas a red, blue, and black rope that'd been braided again and again to form a thick tug-of-war rope, either end had a large knot and truffly bits too.

"We can have a game when we get home, whatcha reckon?" She chuckled a little.

Standing she unclipped her harness and lead from the door, at home she'd pulled out Rex's old box of toys and placed it beside the brand new fluffy bed she'd found at the shops. It was so soft, that she almost considered buying herself one too.

Unlatching the gate, it made a groaning squeak causing her to wince just a little. Standing in the open gap she dealt down again and held out the lead with one hand and the other to give her a pat as well, the toy and department-issued vest rested in her lap.

Audrey had ordered a high durability squeaky rubber bone,a thick rope toy and a Black Kong Ball alongside the tennis ball she found in her home. She had learnt from her first canine partner that K-9 dogs usually had a good bite grip and force, also new their old canine partner shredded everything and therefore was sentenced to a room when someone could supervise the dog. Audrey lay all the toys out and said "Pick one for now Maverick" They looked up and saw Maverick's face, and just laughed . Audrey had a feeling that it had to do with the treats they had just rattled accidentally. She has a feeling that they were being over dramatic with the treats and the toys but then again , it was like bring a new colleague or a new friend,gifts. Audrey also knew despite grumbles her Dad had brought something's for the dog if it was coming home. Audrey didn't know what though so it would be hilarious to see how many duplicates they had, The new K-9 day meant the local shelter got many gifts for the shelter dogs.

Whiskey lowered her head and calmed her body movements, politly stepping out of the kennel. She nuzzled her nose into the vest and huffed before grasping the toy with gentle jaws. Whiskey's ears perked as she heard treats rattle close to her as another k-9 was being greeted. The rope toy dangled funnily from her jowels as she whipped her head towards the noise of other dogs' toys and treats. Whiskey dropped and regripped the toy, then shook it ferociously before taking a bow. Playing a game sounded so fun! Whiskey had been bored pent up in that cage for such an extended period of time.. or at least it seemed that way to her. After gnawing on the toy for a minute Whiskey decided since she was out of the kennel it was time to run. She dropped the toy, looked up at Bear, but before she was given a cue (which she expected to come and it didnt) she took off running to the course. Her speed built up quickly as she leaped one of the small training fences, her front paws outstretched as she hit the wood and launched herself up and over regaining her ground and balance with her back paws against the wood frame. When she hit the ground her eyes were locked on the next obstacle. Whiskey lay on her stomach and army crawled under the barbed wire, when she came out of the other side she had looked for Bear for the next command but realized she was not there. In her excitement she had gotten carried away. She was waiting for a recall command.

Audrey saw a glimpse of Bear with her new canine partner and they smiled happily . Bear was extremely tall and Audrey was extremely short , a lot of inches betweeen them but that didn't stop Audrey from falling in love with Bear. Bear was also kind,calm,patient anse other amazing qualities . Audrey blushed at the eight of her little mass of black hair with that cute fringe. Audrey scolded herself quietly and turned her attention back to Maverick who was squeaking the rubber bone . So far,so good. She picked up the rest of the toys and put them away . She then slipped out a treat and said "For being amazing." . She stood up slowly , and stretched . She then knelt down to Maverick's height and smiled . They were quite relaxed her but they had a feeeling that Audrey Senita was meant to have collected d her dog and then met somewhere. Audrey would have to go and talk to Rachel and Whiskey. Zipping up the bag, she called out "Lets go" not a command as Audrey knew some moments were for strictness and commands and another time was rest time , fun voices ans fun and starting walk- jogging towards Whiskey snd Bear.

She watched Whiskey choose to play with the toy over putting on her vest or her lead. Bear watched as she played with the toy for a minute, she had her fooled, thinking 'how cute.' Within a moment the rope hit the concrete and she was gone in less than a flash.

"Hey!" Was all Bear managed to get out before Whisky had run, her fur brushed along her leg and in a split second she'd hit the course, jumping, sliding, and so on as if she'd practiced a million times, then again she probably did.

Leaving the toy and the vest behind she initially tried to chase her, the first couple of steps before pulling up annoyed. Within moments though she was no longer annoyed, more impressed with how well she got through the course.

She'd finished before Bear could even get over there, realising she wasn't trying to run away, rather just use some pent-up energy she swiped the toy and vest off the ground, pushed the gate closed again and made her way over to the course to catch Whiskey.

Ever so slightly embarrassed she thought 'of course it was mine to run off,' with a slight headshake she walked over and called out somewhat sternly, "Whiskey, here. Now" and pointed at her feet, meaning for her to sit at them.

Staying focused on Whiskey she also noticed Audrey and her new dog were making their way over to them and smiled a little.

Theo's sneeze made him laugh, "bless you," he said giving him a little pat on the head. He had another look at the harness and tried putting it on him, at first he had it set up to go on back to front but realized almost immediately and turned it around securing it after he clipped the lead onto it as well.

Bear's voice caught his attention causing him to look up, a dark blur appeared for a short moment. Her dog was making a run for it. He gave a little laugh before returning his attention back to Theo.

Loosely holding the lead in his left hand he patted him with his right when Theo'd let out a quiet growl, "hey," he softly said, "there's no need for that buddy."
