Charles nods, looking into Philips eyes he turns his focus to the dog on the ground, very energetic. Couldn't wait to play, cringing he rolled his orbs looking down to Taxi and mumbling. "You win" As she gave him puppy eyes. " Go play " Her tongue sticking out, and getting ready.

Taxi sprang out, and forward going into downward down and sniffing the golden carefully. " Uhh. what breed? " Charles asked as the black and white ran off.

Philip replied "The vet thinks he is a golden bordoodle,as he was a stray we dont know for sure" Apollo was prancing around with Taxi his little brown eyes staring at his new friend.

Charles looked under the table at the two. " Very Handsome, well Taxi is a pure bred. Do know that, no stray. Although was my Mothers dog before she passed away. " Charles smiled slightly, tapping his foot.

Taxi jumped onto the male and gnawed on his ears.

Philip nodded slightly tapping his foot waiting for everyone to arrive. He thought about Apollo's thej he thought about home.His birthplace of high walls and servants. His dad which he can barely picture any more.Apollo was chasing Taxi and sharing sausages with her. Apollo looked up at Philip.,he noticed his owner was thinking about his home so he jumped up into Philip's lap and gave him a hug with paws around his neck. With that Philip smiled and said to Apollo"Thanks Little Comet,You read my mind speak later about it ok? You can go play now..."

Amberla squeaked and fell out of her bed at the announcement. "Shoot shoot shoot!" she muttered. "I gotta call Cerise, and Otto, and Jaye, and my hair! Argh my hair!"

She grabbed a brush from her bag, and yanked it through her light hair, trying to pull on pants at the same time. To in a rush to use her dogs brush, she hurriedly ran her own through Jayes fur. Buttoning her gray jeans and throwing on a mint green hoodie, she pulled on some shoes and clipped Jaye to her leash. They rushed over to the cafeteria(??) and went inside. Seeing two men and their dogs, she slowed to a walk and headed over. "Ah hi" she said, her tone hinted with sheepishness

Looking around at the room, she saw two other dogs. Sitting down by Am's feet, she cocked her head at them, curious about who they were

Charles sat for a second, as things seem to go quiet but the yaps and barks that echoed in the halls. The Golden doodle like dog hopped onto Philips lap, as Taxi wagged and swished her tail in the air grooming the air and shaking off loose hair. As the other dog jumped back down she laid and rolled kicking her paws in the air. Head turning every way to look, at the other dog.

<br>

The black man's blue hues looked over, watching a woman enter the large room, and her dog bouncing towards the others. His ears flat to the side, hearing her greeting than greeting her back. "Welcome, Amberla. And Jaye is it? Excuse me. Im not the best with names." He smiled, as the woman pulled up a chair sitting down at the table, as they all began to get antzy.

<br>

Taxi was the first to greet the woman, sticking her nose into her shoes and sniffing. Before the nose smelt something more interesting. Another dog!!! she leaps over, greeting the dog with a lick to the face and jumping into its side.

Philip smiled as a woman walked towards them "Hi I am Philip and this is Apollo sorry about the disturbance earlier Apollo was not in his best behavior" he said to Amberla. Apollo rushed over to Taxi and the other dog wagging his tail furiously at Jaye bowing to her and doing Apollo's welcome of bowing to her then jumpin over her snd then sniffing her and then barking at her to play. Philip's phone rang. It was Opal. "Sorry can I just get it...Apollo stay her be good" with that he walked off and talk to opal. An old dog had wondered into the house and passed away peacefully in the sofa by Darius. Philip didn't know the dog but said to take it's body tu the vets to see if it was microchipped. If it wasn't,Opal was too bury it. Opal the sadly sobbed over the phone and said Darius was slipping away. Philip ended the call and walked silently towards the group and called Apollo. "I need to speak to you" he quietly spoke"There is a dog that has passed away in our home and Darius is slipping away to the heavens ok?" Philip had tears his eyes. He picked up Apollo and spoke to Charles "After the announcement,I will be heading home for a day or two for my dog is slipping away from life"

Hearing the announcemeant, Leah finished the course she had set up and headed into the cafeteria.

"Bel," she called. "Come here girl."
The dog raced over to her and skidded to a stop right in front of her, somehow managing to not plow her over.

"Good girl."
She left the arena with Belka off leash at her side, but seeing the how excited the dog was, decided it was better to leash her. Leah clipped the leash to her dogs collar and headed into the cafeteria.

She paused at the door, seeing two men and a woman, each with a dog. She looked down at her dogs fur, which she hadn't bothered to brush yet, and was messed up from the plane ride and agility, and then at the coats of the other dogs, all seeming neat and tidy, and then back at Belka's. Feeling slightly embarrassed, she realized her own hair was messy as well, and she hadn't yet showered.

She stood by the door and waited for a moment.

Belka was excited but containing herself, looking up at Leah's face asking for a signal that she was released.

"Not now, girl, sorry," Leah murmered. "We have to make a good first impression, you can play later."
The dog looked at the other dogs and then back at Leah's face, who was growing slightly annoyed.

"Heel," she commanded, and the dog obediently went back to her side.

They then walked over to the group of people.

Charles chuckled, as he patted his lap, cuing the female to run over, and lay next to him. Her tail still pacing the ground. His light features turned lighter as Philip turned and spoke to him. The male nodded understanding before answering him. " Yes no problem. Although we may eliminate you, if you fail to show to the before show, thats 2 hours before the show. So hopefully you will be able to make it. " He paused for a second, reaching his hand down to stroke Taxi's forehead, with a sigh he came back to look at the other womans soft features. and gave her a smile.

<br>

Soon after another woman entered the room, her seeming a bit tired, but the dog didn't ready to play with any other dog that surrounded her. " And so you must beeee Leah. Ah " He laughs, as the room didn't seem, well excited.
