Koren

The young adult wandered around the yard, nose poised in the air as he searched for scents of the others. He paused as he neared the porch and looked around him. He threw his head back and set up a howl. Where was everyone?

Timber

The collie, a young adult himself, came bounding in with his tounge lolling out of his mouth as he panted heavily. He had run all the way from the Wolf Center, and had beat his master home. Spotting Koren, Timber padded over to him, "Where have you been? You'd better be carefully because Martha just took us all to this nasty place where a man stuck us with thorns." Timber stated, speaking of the vaccinations they had been given.

Koren

Koren whirled around at Timber's approach, his head tilted inquisitively. "I 'unno. I just left. Went to visit my pa. He's gone somewhere." He replied and looked past the collie. He cringed when Timber spoke of thorns. He'd never had thorns stuck in him by humans, but nature's thorns hurt well enough. "What for?" he inquired, looking back to Timber.

Shimmer

She ran in beside Timber. She had took alittle longer for her right shoulder was in a cast. "Hello." She said wagging her tail glad to see Koren. "We have no clue." She said answering his question.

Martha, Abigale, Timber, Cronus, & Elsa

Timber shrugged as well at Koren's question, showing he had no clue about them. One of his ears swiveled back as it caught a familiar sound. The rumbling of the truck motor. "They're back!" he yipped lightly as his tail began to wave. Although he had just seen his master not long ago, it was his collie nature to be thrilled to greet any master when they arrive home again.

Sure enough, the truck came down the gravel drive, bouncing along the uneven serface. It soon rolled to a stop near the Ranch and the rumbling died down in an instant. Martha stepped out of the truck and opened up the tail gate to let her pets out of the back. She then went back to the cab and scooped up Ivy so she wouldn't have to walk. As she was carrying the hybrid to the house, she spotted Shimmer, Timber, and Koren. Her expression was one of relief, but also a bit quizical. Shrugging off a thought in her head for the moment, Martha carried Ivy inside and set her on the couch.

Abigale and Elsa leapt out of the truck and padded towards the porch of the ranch. Once Elsa spotted Koren, she sprinted over to him, "Hey, you're back! We haven't seen you for a while." Cronus exited the truck as well, but was slower due to his injuries. Rolling his eyes, the young collie strode past the others, "Look what the cats dragged in..." he muttered under his breath, not really caring if Koren heard him.

Abigale narrowed her eyes slightly, hearing the comment, "Cronus, watch your tounge." then she looked to Shimmer and Timber, "Martha isn't too happy with your antics. I think it would be best if you two started listening to her." Timber gave a sly, but hesitant grin, "Aw, she didn't seem to mad."

Ivy

She let Martha scoop her up out of the truck, she gave a weak nod to Koren and the others, but once she was inside and on the couch she collasped on it and feal into a deep exausted sleep.

Shimmer

"Theres danger at the sheep pasture." She suddenly said as she scented the air. "Comeing?" She asks her siblings and Koren as she races of to the sheep pasture ignoring her injured shoulder.

Martha, Abigale, Timber, Cronus, & Elsa

Abigale turned to Elsa, "Stay here with Ivy, will you?" She knew Elsa was more of a house pet than a guardien; which she saw nothing wrong with. Her masters were just as pleased to have a collie to stick around the house. Elsa nodded to her mother and nudged the door open which Martha hadn't closed tightly.

Then Abigale, Timber, and Cronus took off for the Sheep Pasture.

Ivy

Waking up she looked around, only seeing Martha and Elsa, "Where is everybody?"
