*I bought greyhounds that hadn't been trained yet for agility. Will you be putting up an agility section, Katie?*
Susan walked into the house and whistled. The dogs bounded over. She sighed and glanced at all of them. Everyone knew that if you brought a dog to her, she would take it. Just a month ago, Mrs. Zaneburg from up the lane had brought down a pair of Shelties that had been rooting around in trashcans when they were found. They were underweight, scraggly, and skittish. Now, the pair, Lila & Sam, were here with her. She smiled and walked toward the latest part of Green River Farm, the kennel. The huge building had tons of equipment for dogs. An agility course, race track, play area, and a show ring were only some of the items the building had. Susan watched all the dogs walk in and run straight to the play area, a large grassy section with all sorts of toys. Susan walked behind them and got her greyhounds, Jemma, Sandy, and Tornado. She took them to the agility course and said, “I know Katie is selling you guys for racing but, hey you make great agility dogs.” Jemma was going first. Susan guided the dog around the course and then praised her for a job well done. The female was just learning the fundamentals. Sandy, on the other hand, was a pro. She went consistently through the course, never messing up, never slowing down. Tornado barked eagerly and dashed through the course, knocking one pole in his hurry. Susan patted them all and then looked outside. It was 8:00 and the sky was black with ominous storm clouds. She whistled and the dogs followed her back to the house, barking hyperly. She opened the door and went inside, just as the rain started to pour.
1:00 AM
Susan sighed and looked at the lightning outside her window. Lila & Sam were curled up on her bed next to her, shivering with fear. They hated thunderstorms. Moxie was laying on the other pillow. Dingo, Sparks, Mocha, Bandit, Jemma, Sandy, and Tornado were laying in various places on the bed. She sat for a while and then drifted off to sleep, thinking of her MANY, MANY dogs.
