private chat with you.
Cobalt yelped in surprise when he was tackled, but his nose told him some very welcome news. "Dusk?" he yipped as he recognized his brother's scent. "DUSK!" He rolled and tackled his brother the same way he'd just been tackled, but was quickly distracted by the sight of Frappe dragging a motionless Rolo to the shore. "Oh crap," he murmured to his brother. "That's Dinah's pup. She's going to flip." He followed Dusk over to the pup and whined as his brother sniffed at Rolo.<br /><br />Dinah took one look at the red-and-white pup on the ground and flew to her side, shoving the other dogs out of the way. She nudged her puppy with her nose and made worried sounds in her throat. The pup stirred and Dinah breathed a sigh of relief before turning to Frappe. "What happened?" she asked anxiously.
Suddenly, embarrassed he had completely forgotten why they ran to the lake in the first place, Dusk remembered why they were here. He saw a dog suddenly burst from the surface of the water and a smaller pup followed seconds later. As they neared the shore, he padded over to assist Frappe with the pup. He nudged the seemingly lifeless form with his nose a few times, the pup sure didn't smell dead, and he could barely hear the faint murmur of a heartbeat, but it was there.
((didn't see post below me, heh, so it's slightly late))
Sheena's eyes wander around the lake until they abruptly stop on Frappe pulling Rolo out of the lake. She rushes over to help. "What happened? Is she breathing?" Her eyes were huge.
Cobalt had every right to be worried. Frappe was having a VERY hard time trying to navigate the waters and the random school of fish that swam in front of her face made everything worse. Rolo was only a good 5 feet away from her, but it seemed that with every couple of seconds, the dog would move a couple inches more out of Frappe's reach.<br /><br />"Darn it!" Frappe managed to think before she landed on the bottom of the lake. She exteneded her leg, and succesfully had Rolo's collar in her paw. Relaizing that she was almost out of oxygen, Frappe kicked up against the lake bottom and swam quickly to the top. <br /><br />Frappe's vision went white as she erupted from the lake. She helpd Rolo up to the top as well so the smaller dog could get some oxygen in as well. When she realized that Rolo was not moving at all, she hoisted the BC onto her back and swam to the shore. It wasn't until she reached land did she notice all the other dogs standing there. And worse-Dinah.<br /><br />"crap."
Kendra jumps up also. "Lets go see it sounds like something worry some is happening. We might be able to help" Kendra ran past Sheena towards the lake glancing back to make sure Sheena was following. She sighed as she ran glad that Sheena didn't seem to think it was too strange for her to worry so much about a dog she didn't even know. As she got closer she could smell the worry in the air an she picked up speed. Something was wrong!
Sheena jumps at the sound out Kendra sneaking up on her. Why would anyone want to follow her? She tilts her head to the side. "I'm feeling good now. I've been exhausted and lost for days. I just needed to rest up." Then, Sheena sees Dinah and Dusk run off toward the lake. She jumps up in excitement and follows. Looking back she says, "Are you coming, Kendra?"
Sheena quickly notices what Dusk was observing and didn't like it. Her stomach twisted with the idea of what might be laying ahead.
She catches up and sees Cobalt and Dusk wrestling and relaxes.
Dusk, surprised at the sudden change of direction, skidded to a stop and reoriented himself. Suddenly, he realized why she had run. He could smell Cobalt, and he knew something wasn't right. In an explosion of speed, like a bullet from a gun, he took off after Dinah and behind him he left a path of broken plants, scattered leaves, and mud laden bushes. <br>
When he arrived at the lake, a little behind Dinah, he saw Cobalt. Tail wagging and tongue free of his mouth he wildly bounded up behind Cobalt. In a mess of furry brotherly love he tackled Cobalt and pinned him to the ground, giving him a warm sloppy doggy kiss on the head.
Dinah yelped as something hit her on the back hard enough to sting, and she started to look up but a sudden gust of wind whipping through the trees brought the sound of frantic splashing in the nearby lake. The wind also brought Cobalt's scent strongly to her nose, and she could smell the worry on him as clearly as if he was standing next to her. A pang of fear went through her at the scent, and she abruptly changed direction and bolted along the treeline toward the lake, skidding to a halt next to her kennel-mate and staring out across the water.<br /><br />"What's going on?" she demanded.
Dusk, seeing Dinah's friendliness, happily bounded after her to find his brother. He didn't quite see the low hanging tree branch.. but ducked just in time to save his head from a rather uncomfortable smack. As he ran, he could hear a faint commotion up ahead, and it sounded as if it was coming from the lake. Curious, but more concerned with his brother, he kept following Dinah through the towering pine trees and lush green underbrush.
Kineta spotted Dinah and giggled evily. She tossed her nut down at her and it hit her square on the back! What a fun puppy trick! Kineta quickly climbed back more into the leaves so she wouldn't be spotted and picked up another nut ready to hit Dinah again when... She noticed everyone running off towards the lake. She lost interest in nut throwing and starting to swiftly jump through the trees to get closer to the lake to see what was going on. She moved her tail back and forth to keep balance while running along one big branch to another with a few epic jumps thrown in. However she had a difficult time getting there as the winds continued to pick up making it harder for her to aim her jumps correctly. She knew she would be spotted by someone as many leaves fell down as she ran over and through them, but she was far too interested in the excitement by the lake to care. Puppy tricks could wait tell later.
