Koren

.>.Koren enters and sniff the air. Hmm, dogs, and..chickens!he whispers and follows the scent to the chicken coop. Being only a pup he just knew the chickens were food and fun to chase. He finds a small entrance and slinks around the coop. All of sudden he bursts from behind and begins to chase the chickens for fun. After all, hadn't he just eaten some deer? He zones out a rooster and starts a mad chase after him. After he stopped and hinted to the rooster he wanted no chickens for food, he plopped down against the fence. Just take a short nap, that's all. Mum won't even know I'm gone.. he yawns and closes his golden-amber eyes and stretching out in such an odd way he could have been mistaken as dead if it weren't for his rising and falling chest.<.

Becca

*a growl is heard and the mix pup jumps out of the bushes. he was chasing her chikens.growling and snarling she leapt at the pup. then stopped. she tilted her head. what was a pup doing here.*

Koren

.>.Koren remains on his side and slows his breathing dramatically. Play dead he told himself in his head. Besides slowing his breathing, he only takes one sharp intake of breath like he was suddenly mortally wounded.>.

Becca

stop faking you pup i'm a pup to.*sitting up like she owned the place. she started to bark for rollin or abigale.*

John

After hearing the barking of Becca and squawking of chickens, the teenager came running towards the chicken coup. He spotted Becca, and then Koren. The chickens were running around crazily, and it seemed that this pup had caused that. Still, the pup seemed to be very sick, or maybe injured. Holding sympathy for this pup, the teenager reached down and picked him up, and tried to see if he could get a response from the pup.

Koren

.>.Koren was about to respond when he was scooped up by the two-legged. Uh oh he told himself. He yelps and squirms in the teen's grip.>.

John

He was quite surprised by this, and dropped the pup on accident. He said a few surprised words and tried to pick up Koren once more.

Koren

Koren twists and manages to land on his side instead of his back. He stands and shakes his head, trying to bring his vision back into focus. He was still seeing doubles when the boy picked him up once again. He shut his eyes and curled up in fear.

John

Feeling foolish for dropping the pup in the first place, John makes sure not to drop him again. The teenager held him securely by the nape of the neck while he looked him over. Is he all wolf... John wondered as he studied Koren. Already they had three stray pups, as well as the six collie pups. But... with a harsh winter in store, perhaps more dogs, or wolves, would be needed to guard the flocks from their wild brethren.

John stood up then and carried the pup to the Ranch house, to talk with his parents.
