((Yeah I've had snow also, although it only lasted a few hours so wast really deep. The next day it also rained so yeah, the snow is now gone and the first we've had since last year! and now we're stuck with dumb rain! :/ ))

Chop

The huge stick remained limp in the Rottweilers jaws as he charged across the filed, chasing after the staff worker known as John. With his tail arched and wagging it showed he was in a excited state of mind, and his old playful self. Turning the large male looked at the human as he drew nearer, bowing down Chop darted off when John arrived near him. Romping around like a huge pup. Skidding to a halt Chop glanced to his right, seeing the popular agility course many staff members took the canines on for exercise. Turning to John Chop dropped the stick and began barking "You wanna go boy?...C'mon!" he shouted as he ran towards the gate. Jumping forward, Chop chased after John the stick still in his jaws. Stopping at the gates he looked around of a moment, looking for somewhere to place his stick-deciding to put it by the fence. Just as he was about to walk away a curious Labrador seemed to have wondered over and began biting at the stick, growling Chop let out a bark and charged towards the dog-but instead of attacking he stood defensively infront of the stick as a warning. "Chop stop it!" John ordered at the growling dog. Watching as the golden dog wondered off back towards the other worker he smiled and turned, trotting back towards John-his tail arched and wagging.

Waiting patiently as the large gates were open excitement filled the male, he was often kept from the obstacle course because he was rather clusmy and often trampled on few of the other dogs-but today he was brough in. Standing in the middle of the course the Rottie glanced around, seeing dogs of all different shapes and sizes darting around the course with ease-and seeming to enjoy it. Stepping back he let out an echoing bark as he paws at the ground, turning his broad head he tilted it. "Go on then boy.." John spoke with a soft tone causing the canines eyes to light up. With one last bark Chop was off across the field. His tail held high and a look of relaxation mixed with concentration sprawled across his face. Running over ramps and through tunnels, leaping over jumps with few barks-and all was done with ease. The obstacle was one of Chops favorite things, which also kept the brute out of trouble.  





Tasha

Looking at the other feline the Kelpie dipped her head "Hello.." she mumbled to the younger feline who now seemed to be continuing her conversation with the tom. Letting out a huff Tasha slowly lifted to her paws leaving the bone placed on the kennel floor, slowly trotting towards her bowl of water. Craning her neck she allowed her tongue to slip out her parted maw-the tip touching the cool water. Feeling a cooling feel taking over her the Kelpies tail wagged as she continued to lap up the cool water. Lifting her head from the metal bowl she faced the two cats, water seeming to still drip from her chin. "Surprised these two haven't been moved yet?" she mumbled to herself slightly confused on why no ones had noticed. Brushing it off Tasha walked out of a small "Doggs Door" that was at the back of her kennel-leading her to an outside run where people could also view her.

The cold quickly hit the dog as she exited the small gap, but it didn't seem to bother her besides she was use to the cold. With her tail raised and her ears erect Tasha trotted to the front of the outside cage and glanced out, looking at the many canines outside having fun. A bark erupted from her maw as she pawed at the cage eafre to get out, eventhough she only arrived back 5 minutes ago. Shrugging, Tasha turned around and grinned at the many toys that lined the floor of her run. But she just couldn't choose which one to play with the tug rope, tennis ball, football, squeaky toy or the rubber ring. Licking her lips she soon decided, lunging forward she landed on the football with her paws-causing it to flick into the air. Letting out several bark Tasha began chasing the ball around her run, causing it to bounce everywhere and causing her to skide around. The Kelpies tail violently whipped back and forth as she played around.

[[Troll weather.

Bently

Bentley slowed his sprinting strides to a clumsy halt once he reached near the center of the obstacle course field, rushed with a feeling of being overwhelmed by the chaos of the various other dogs running about and clambering across the course. Since coming here- well since he lost his leg, really,- he had not been in an environment with so many other canines in one field. Knowing the harassment was probably quick to come from the other athletic dogs around, the collie's tail quickly dropped between his legs and he took a hobbled hop backwards, already glancing around for some mode of escape if necessary- as he was not willing to get into a fight, which sometimes did happen anyway by the bullying of the other dogs. Ears flat, Bentley stood still, gazing around in a moment of confusion and worry. Part of him almost wanted to retreat back to the human, but he wasn't about to trust them with his safety that quickly. Eyes wide in anxiety, the handicapped border collie made a slow limping b-line for the non crowded space of the field's back fence, head low as he attempted to not make eye contact with any canine and tune out the sly remarks directed at him.

((I am so sorry - I forgot to mention that my newer college classes are starting up and I am usually only online on weekends - if I get online on a weekday, it'll be between 3:30-5:30 central US time.))

Alright Woof. :3))

Harley was a tad amused by her story. Since she had huckled aswell, he went along with her. As soon as she spoke again, he stiffened and unsheathed his claws, fluffing out his tail. The human man set the crate down a ways off and kept the net in his hands as he approached Harley. Harley narrowed his eyes and was about to bolt when the net came down around him. He began to claw at the net, trying to free himself but was unsuccessful. The human spunt he net to where Harley couldn't get out and soon had him in the crate. Harley was spitting furiously and clawing at the cage door. He was taken from the room. Before they had left, though, he let out a furious yowl for help towards the she-cat before the door was shut and he was taken back to that room. "Sorry about that guys." The human had said. "He's a bit shy." He chuckled. The family chuckled with him and he was let out of the kennel to mingle with the family. Imediately he was grabbed by a small child, it's grabby hands clutching his tail. Instinctively he turned and slashed at the human. They small child jumped back and let out a screech before it started crying. The mother of the child gave a furious glare at the feline before pickign up her child. The father shook his head at the guy who caught him and followed the two out. He was shoved back in the crate and taken back out of the room. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Whisper in the same crate, being taken out the door. Harley le out a yowl of dispair as he watched with eyes full of fear as she was taken away.

She's not gone for good. xD After a while i'll have her being brought back.))

((Rereading stuff c: and we have -19 degrees - so hush with your 'low temperatures' and no picture - on my phone right now))
Ren glanced over and watched the dogs being led to their food bowls and back.  He watched a pretty white female (aka Sasha.. didn't go back enough to read your entry form) whom he'd yet to meet.  He barked a friendly 'Hello', perking his ears as he lay on a soft rug.

[Jackkdaw]

[[Lol us Floridians are such sissies to the cold. The temperature drops to 45 degrees and everyone is bundling up with scarves, boots, and winter coats. XD

Bently

The border collie successfully limped to the back fence of the large obstacle course field. Panting from the effort of making his way over there, Bentley slowly lowered himself onto his haunches, his side brushing against the chain link fence. The dogs who were romping about the course didn't seem to notice the lone collie who had excluded himself. He longed to run around and clamber over the obstacles like he had done in the good old days- when he was 'normal', but the tense fear of further bullying by the other dogs kept him in place in his little fortress of solitude at the back of the field. One mutt, a Belgian malinois, however, couldn't help but notice the poor canine. This brute did well to make harassing the tri-legged collie one of his daily activities. Bentley's ears quickly slicked themselves down against his head as he noticed the large tan dog making his way over, head low with a smirk plastered on that ominous maw. The border collie tucked his tail between his legs and rose to his three paws, taking a few quick hobbling strides parallel with the fence in an attempt at slinking away from the malinois- only to have his path cut off by the brute. "Now, now, where are you goin', Tripod?" The malinois spat, smirking down at the cowering collie while  his two lackies, an English bulldog and a boxer, made their ways to his side, snickering with their leader. "Wha- um- nowhere." Bentley stammered, his large brown eyes sweeping back and forth in nervousness. He knew what was coming sooner or later. The malinois tended to 'put him in his place' quite often, and another 'fight' was the last thing Bentley wanted. The four canines being at the back of the field, the humans' view of them was poor- a fact that was now working with the Belgian malinois' advantage. If he did decide to physically bully the collie, the humans would be delayed in getting to them- if they even saw- which would give the brute more time to inflict damage.



[D'aw. Poor wittle Bentley.

[Tenturo]

((Yes, I know c: I spent like 3 months in Florida for a job offer and I adapted like that quickly c:  But then I came home and I was like Man... I can't believe - nevermind xD))

[Hennessy]

D'awww poor Bentley. But if it makes ya feel better, we have a dog with all four legs but only three feet named Tripod. x3))

I'll post soon btw.))

((Well in a little town called Newcastle XD we're very familiar with the cold weather, although in summer it does get pretty hot. But for now the weather still remains crappy. Oh, Chop will save Bemtly feel like a super hero...))

Chop

The Rotties huge paws slammed against the grass as he swiftly moved from one obstacle to another, he seemed more excited than usual-probably because he was in his favorite place. Chop let out a quiet yelp as he stumbled down the ran after a Doberman charged past the end, a growl rumbling through his throat "Bloody mutt!" he snarled. Brushing it off Chop continued on his way. Leaping over a small jump then finishing off with a large. But, his attention was soon turned from the obstacles and towards the usual 'Bully' of the shelter alsong with his two lackies. Chomp knew this canine pretty well from getting anto mant rows with him, and the mutt was known as Grant. Turning his head to look at the humans the brute realised they couldn't really see the situation that was going on and were totally oblivious. Shaking his head he turned back towards the small group of canines. Before butting in Chop watched for a few seconds, listening quietly to the tan males words. A shiver ran down the Rottweiler spine and was soon followed by a low rumbling growl that quickly erupted from his maw as he trotted towards grant and his two other friends. With a few quick strides Chop soon arrived at the canines and growled. "Well if it isnGranny Grant!" he cackled taking a place near the three-legged Collie who seemed rather worried. A string of sympathy ran through him for the smaller dog and his gaze turned back towards Grant. "We got a problem here?" hour growled looking at one canine then another as his ears lifted slightly and his tail remained arched.  





Tasha

Tasha was totally oblivious to the food room being opened as she remained in the pen of her cage-also unaware that the felines were moved. Letting out many yaps she continued chasing after the black patched ball that bounced around the small yard. Although people called from outside the fence the Kelpie only ran up giving a quick sniff then a lick to their hand before skidding back through the yard and nudging the ball across the gound. Her tail wagging in excitement as she rolled onto her side and flicked the ball away-hurling back onto her paws towards the ball. But, clumsily she toppled over and flew into the bars of her cage, although it didn't bother her. "Tasha?" a familiar voice sounded causing the Kelpie to stop. Then quickly bolting into her inside cage.

Skidding to a halt she glanced out the door of her cage, ignoring her pants as she starred wide eyes up at Mark. Letting out a bark until he spoke. "You hungry girl?..." he smiled patting his legs. Spinning in a circle she dipped her head as if to say "Yes!" and was let out her cage. "Go on then Tasha!" he smiled. Obediently the Kelpie did as her 'owner' said. Swiftly manoeuvring around the door to her cage she hurried down the hall and through the door.

Entering the food room Tasha glanced around, her brown eyes locking onto few of the canines she recognised. Her tail wagged as she stood at the doorway for a while-many dogs running past and halting infront of a bowl. The familiar scent of the food wafted into the canines snout causing her mouth to water, licking her lips Tasha headed towards the usual bowl she ate out of. Craning her neck the brown Kelpie began wolfing down her food-her tail remaining hooked over and wagging slightly. Although, she ignored the canines running around her she would lift her head the odd time to see who was around.
