( 7 so a week, I guess lol)

Taxi squirmed on the floor that she rolled in on, her thick coat picking up the loose dirt that scrambled down in the fibers of the silky rug. Charles tapped his foot on the glass coffee table with a black sock hanging onto his feet. The phone that sat in the lonely kitchen, vibrating and ringing his right tone. He slowly rose to his feet. Tax couldnt wait to hear that tone, nobody called Charles except for the agility center. Wrinkly young hands picked up the phone, "huh, alright.. Yes.. We'll be right there" he grumbles in a tight voice.

" Ready Taxi?!, They're here" the black and white dog, freaked out. Her tail thrashing in the air roughly. Running as fast as her tiny paws could carry her she rushed to the front dog. Whining and whimpering. Charles trying to shove his shoes on and grab Taxi's collar at the same time. Opening the creaky front door the female ran out onto their 1/2 acre driveway to get to the car. "Halt! " Char yells and the border collie sits down and waits. The man tossed his coat over his back running out to the car ripping the door open. " Car! " Taxi ran into the car resting in the back seat.

<br>

Pulling into the huge parking lot that really wasn't anything but not really crowed at this moment. `` Okay, out you go `` He opened his door, Taxi scrambling out of the car and to the large thicc (XD) building. Barking out at the door, one of the door servants opened it, and she pranced in. Sniffing the ground with a howl. Almost to say, `` Hello! Where are the newcomers?! ``

Philip laughed nervously and apologized again "Apollo is trying to make friends but I think dogs here are more well behaved than him..I am Philip by the way and this is Apollo" Philip called Apollo to heel but Apollo wanted to be friends with Raider and Apollo was having none of it and was trying to sit by Raider. "Sorry so sorry about this" Philip apologized again and then called to Apollo " Apollo! How about we do some training or call the dog sitter and you can head about your new sister hey?" With that Apollo bowed again at Raider and woofed at him and then jumped onto Philip's shoulders.

Taxi whipped her plumage around, floppy ears up and reading the sounds for excitement. Her thick shaggy tail brushing against the thin carpet. Her bark long and mellow, she could soon tell where the other were. They must be in their rooms! She could tell right away. The scent of the others trailed on the floor. Trotting down the long hallways and up the stairs. So slowly come across the dog. Some where short haired some were long haired. And she couldn't wait to meet the humans! But she had to be proper and follow the rules. So she sat there, tail tapping rapidly on the ground. Soon or enough Charles walked up the stairs and to the hallway were they were all greeting each other. Charles head perked up looking at the tall and short woman and men. He smiled at them softly, before ruffling his hair like he knew them well.

Philip sighed as he slowly walked pass the other rooms and opened his door. He locked his door and spoke to Apollo firmly "No Apollo no friends I am afraid to say this Apollo but I don't think anyone here wants to be your friend" he picked up Apollo and put him in the den he had built for Apollo with his show blanket drapped over a pole attached to a box. He called up the dog sitter and said a white lie as a she dog who probably was a stray was sitting by Cerberus grooming him. "Oh yes she comes in sometimes"Philip lied "Her name is......Persephone

well that's what I call her" The dog sitter called Opal looked at him and spoke "I called her Hydra and she responded I think Hydra's a

good name" Philip laughed nervously and said "well Opal Apollo needs a walk look after Hydra" After he switched off his phone he groaned. There was a stray called Hydra which looked like a Pitbull

in his living room possibly liking Cerberus.

Philip looked at Apollo and they knew where they were going "To the outdoor bit" and they dashed out of the door. There was no people on site as Apollo dashed ahead and Philip trailing behind saying "Haw" or "Easy" or Straigh head" until they reached the Outdoor agility course.

Leah wandered around the building for a bit until she found a map on the wall. She decided to go to the agility arena to let Belka run around and get her energy out, and just to see what it was like.

They walked down the stairs and into the indoor arena, and Leah changed a few things until they were of her liking, and then let the dog explore.

When Belka had sniffed everything and seemed to be getting bored, Leah came up with a quick course and walked through it to make sure she remembered it. Then she set her dog up at the end of the arena and ran through it.

Apolo swiftly marked the curse he was going to do then started at the tunnel and gracefully going over the hurdles and so on.
Philip running sometimes with him and showing hand signals to steer him through the course. At the end Apollo was

wagging his tail and threw himself at Philip excitedly, He gestures towards the cafeteria snd he knelt down outside the Outdoor area and spoke to Apollo "I know your excited and you want to make friends but you have to be on your best behavior ok?" With that Philip ordered Apollo to Heel. Once they had reached the cafeteria and ordered they settled down. Philip put on Apollo's napkin and did the same for himself. Apollo started munching down his sausages and Philip wolfed down a salad.

Charles stood at the welcome desk, hands tapping on the counter as the blonde lady behind it, typed on her keyboard. Mouth chomping on a piece of gum she had just entered into her mouth. Small glasses edges curled around her ears holding on as it gave her good eye sight looking at the check in log. Finger running down the list that showed up onto the computer.

<br>

Her orbs following the screen as she scrolled down to the oldest check in of the day, and back up to the newest. Nodding her head the whole way through the processe.

<br>

Her light brown eyes gazed up to him in a second. " Yes, almost all here... except for... " Holding her lip her eyes went back down onto the list with a smile. " Two.. Two aren't here at the moment. " She spoke to her boss, in a sweet tone. As he tapped his foot on the thin rug below. " Alright, Thank you so much McKenzie. " He turned around, legs leading him to the glass door that would allow him to enter the hallway before he turned around and looked back at her again.

<br>

" My bad " He said, leaning onto his back heel to turn around to the desk. " Make an announcement to the whole building that i would like to have a small meeting with the competitors at the caf, would yeah? " Knowing the woman wouldn't say no, because well its her job to do so, he opened the glass door with the brass handle and entered into the long hallway that soon opened the wall up to a flight of stairs and elevator, along not far from it the cafeteria.

<br>

The loud speakers installed in every hall, and room. Except not as loud for the bedrooms spoke. " ALL COMPETITORS FOR THE COMPETITION, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE CAF. OWNER CHARLES WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. AGAIN, ONLY THE COMPETITORS FOR THE COMPETITION. PLEASE COME TO THE CAF. " It blasted in every room, and echoed through the closed in halls, even upstairs in the slightly cracked open doors you would hear the long calls.

<br>

Charles whisked up a smile, and slowly took a turn to enter the caf. Taxi trailed right behind the tall man, her orbs peaking into the room. As her paw threw her into the large room, of yummy smells.

<br>

The mans face, looked in seeing another man and dog enjoying a lunch in the room. Stomping his foot that indicated Taxi to lay, he looked down at the K9. " You sit, and don't bother the other dog. Hear? " the black man nodded, to the female.

<br>

Long leg strides lunging himself to the closest table on the side. Sitting across from the man he than knew as Phillip. He knew everybody who came. Cause damn it he wrote the invitations himself!

<br>

Sitting down at the table he made himself comfortable, as Taxi tried to resist playing or inviting the other dog to plat with her.

Philip heard the loudspeaker and realaxed as his was in the cafe.. Suddenly a voice spoke to him and Philip jumped at the voice and turned in its direction "Hello?! Areyou Ch-Charles?" Meanwhile Apollo had forgotten about his sausages,slipped off his napkin and was wagging his tail at Taxi.

Charles brushed his pants lightly with his hand. A small smile showing up onto his face as the man had such excitement to see him. " Well, it is so. Im Charles. How do you do? " He calmly answered, his darker toned voice mellowed out as did his smile.

<br>

Taxi's eyes widened as she did a low bark to say ' Hi! ' Her lay became squirmy as she became impatient and wanted to play. She was waiting for Charles cue to say hello but she waited. Like a good girl would do.

Philip clenched his sweating palms together and spoke trying to hide the nerves " As you know my name is Philip but you can call me Fin if you would like and this is my show partner Apollo" he gestured towards the over-excited golden ball of fluff which was bounding in circles.
