Thread Roulette: Puppies!

[Event !]

Some things are just universally adorable.

[Morgan Tonaya]

It seemed to be in the Tonaya blood to enjoy the simpler things: Flowers, cookies, stars and, of course, the lake. Morgan and Jordan frequented the lake much more than Elaine (or Cobalt, for that matter, even if he wasn’t blood), but it was nice to have something to share just with his dog. Morgan had always been a dog lover, but Jordan was really special. He wasn’t sure what he would have done without Jordan as his seeing-eye dog, and now? Well Jordan was his best friend.

Morgan spluttered as his ‘best friend’ shook out lake water all over him. “Augh, God! Jor! Jesus.” Morgan grunted, trying to shield himself from the wet dog. He’d made the smart move to wear his bathing suit, but he hadn’t gotten in the water yet and the droplets were cold against his skin. Jordan’s tongue lolled stupidly out of his mouth as the happy dog seemed to insist that Morgan join him in the water.

“Gosh, fine.” He acquiesced, moving from his sitting position in the grass and patting his dog on the head. He stood at the shore for a moment, letting his feet grow accustomed to the temperature of the water.

[Jennifer Joy]

Her brother certainly was making it hard for her to say no. He had driven up to surprise her, with him a bigger surprise. In the back of his old pick up truck had been a box of border collie puppies. It seemed Mollie, the farm dog had given birth. Her brother was trying to get rid of them. When your brother shows up at your door wit a box full of puppies, and puppy eyes (literally) it was hard to say no. Jen sighed and looked down as she walked along the path. She couldn't say no.

Walking in front of her was a small brown fluff ball of a border collie. For some reason her brother thought she needed company, and needed to have a pet. With her schedule she wasn't sure how she was going to make it work, but make it work she would. Besides, she couldn't abandon the poor thing now. It had traveled so far to just go back with her brother. Looking down at it she realized she was having trouble with the fact that she now owned a puppy.

Before she could think the small thing had gotten off it's leash and was barreling towards the water, and straight towards another dog. "Oh no! Pup! come back!" Jen was off, trying to catch her now responsibility. She just made it to the waters edge while the pup went swimming out, barking at a man that was standing there. "Ah.. Uhm.. Sorry..." Jen quickly motioned to the small pup. "Please come back pup?"

[Morgan Tonaya]

Jordan began barking and splashing back towards the shore just as Morgan had waded into the water. Morgan’s eyes widened at the site of the puppy. “Jordan, Sit!” Jordan obeyed like the well-trained dog he was as Morgan scooped up the small puppy and moved back to the shore. His own dog shook with excitement, barking at the new lady, the new pup, and his owner.

Morgan looked with warning at Jordan. “Stay, Jor.” He commanded, keeping hold of the soaking wet puppy. “Is this yours?” He said with a little laugh. “I’d give it back but…you don’t look like you want to get wet.” The puppy squirmed in his arms and licked at his face, leaving little swipes of red where his nails caught Morgan’s bare skin. “Haha, friendly little guy.” He said off-handedly. “My name is Morgan, by the way. Nice to meet you Miss…?”

[Jennifer Joy]

Jen ran after her pup trying to get it to come back. Oh! There was another dog! Well at least that one listened to it's master. Smiling a bit Jen looked to the man and blushed. Oh he was without a shirt. Shaking her head she went a little towards him and went to go retrieve her pup.

Jen nodded to the man as he held the pup. Yes, that was hers all right. "Ah yes, sorry it got away from me." Jen blushed looking down. She blinked as he talked about wet. Oh my... her pup was soaked. "Ah I'm so sorry!" Fumbling she looked around for something and found she could use her sweater as a towel, "I think I can hold it in here." Frowning she watched as her pup scratched the man. "Oh I'm sorry...the pup needs to learn manners." Frowning at it she pulled a band aid out of her pocket. "Here you are sir." Jen tilted her head before she looked at her squirming puppy. "Joy, Jennifer Joy." She shook her head and bit her lip. "I'm sorry for all the trouble my pup has caused."
