"The apparent bickering betwween the two dogs." Samantha answers absently, still pondering Hutch's situation.

~~~~
Joan has to laugh at that. "I can imagine! I remember last time John took me fishing, not only was I better at tying the knots in the line but I also got four lage flathead to his one little parrotfish. He was not happy!" Joan's stomach gurgles, suggesting that she should fill it some time in the near future.
"Oh, pardon me. Hey, would you like to come back home for a coffee or a bite to eat? You're welcome to come too, if you like, Senka."

"Out of interest, Flynn, our 'Holmes of the hutch'," Chip replied, still looking directly at her portrait, "any mysteries currently ongoing? Any MoriRatties?" She added, recalling something she'd heard someone say in the bottling plant.

"I don't think we do sorry. You'll have to settle with fruits. Don't worry though. Next time you come over, I'll make sure Faust prepares ahead of time."

=========

Faust opens the fridge and bends over to look for some drinks.

"Should I serve soda, shakes or juice?.... Hm....."

"Oh, that's OK. You don't need to go out of your way for me. Fruit is fine." Flynn turns to Chip.
"As a matter of fact, yes. There are some secret passages under my house. We think they were used for smuggling Orange Soda during the prohibition but we don't know anything else about them so we'd like to find out more. Also, we think there might be a ghost living in the old car in my garage so I think that needs investigating too."

She affixes a clip to the neck of her guitar so that it plays in the same key as the ukulele and then begins demonstrating some basic chord progressions, showing Lucky the fingering as she goes and having him try to copy her, encouraging him as he needs it.

Lucky clumsily plays a few cords, following Piper's example.

It's not serious bickering, sir. It's just how we talk to each other. Hutch told the vets. ...And ma'am.
Well, he isn't my dog any more. Alice said. But, my name is Alice Times, and this is Hutch's new owner, Christopher Robin. Alice announced the 2.
I'm getting tired, so I think I should go. Come on, Roo. We have to go throw all of Hutch's stuff away.
Roo got off of Hutch and stood to her feet.
Not the computer! Or the box marked "Pet shows". Hutch called after the 2.
I don't know. He won't have us in his life to be bothered, though. Roo replied to the vet on her way out.
Hutch sat up, shocked at what Roo said.
Your not staying with me and Christopher? Hutch asked with a shaky voice. Roo stopped dead in her tracks.
They didn't tell him that part... Roo sighed, then turned back to the dog, kneeling down next to Hutch.
You know when I enlisted as a translator for the military? Roo asked Hutch.
...
I told you that they turned me down. But--
I know. I didn't want to believe it. I thought you had decided to stay, even though you made it.
This time, Roo made no reply.
It's all right. Hutch gave a weak smile to his sister.
I'm sorry, Hutch. Roo gave the dog an affectionate hug.
There's one item off the check list.

Chip rocked on Elliot's shoulder as he tried to stand up. "Stay sat, ya dink!" she said quietly.

You were a show dog? have you ever seen the show skunks Samantha was talking about??

"Nearly." encourages Piper. "Put your finger here... and here... There. That's it." Piper moves Lucky's fingers to the correct frets and strings, and then shows him more slowly how to move between the chords.

~~~~
"If Hutch is determined to go through with this and you're happy for him to do it then there's a few things you should know." Paul draws Hutch's owners off to the side, hoping he's out of Oreo's earshot, and explains the risks and costs associated with the procedure. "So, if you give your permission then that's what we'll do. I'll need to get you to sign a form to consent to it and then we'll be able to do him tomorrow. Do you know when was the last time he ate or drank anything?"

Samantha checks on Nadia as Paul talks to the other humans. "How are you feeling now, Nadia? Have those medications helped at all?"

~~~~
"So, you like mysteries, do you, Chip?" asks Flynn, having reflected on Chip's earlier question. "What about you, Koa? Do you enjoy them too?"

"Yeah....they have......" Nadia answered , for the sake of giving out an answer, truth be told she really was in no mood of talking , actually she was , because even though Oreo accepted the procedure because it's easier for him that way , the dog however apparently wanted the same thing for him , despite the fact that there was no need for that . She really wanted to just smack him in the face for being so insane , but.......meh......

"Oops, I nearly did it again."

Elliot readjusts himself. As his fixes his sitting position, Faust enters the room with mugs of Elliot's favorite drink. As Faust was about to say something, Elliot went wide-eyed and drooled in awe.

"Here it is fellas, my special honey dew drinks"

Elliot reaches out in a scramble to get his drink.

"Ooooohhhh, gimme some Faust, I haven't had this in a LONG while."

Faust smiles in delight as he passes a big mug of Elliot's drink to him.

"Thank you thank you thank you! (Elliot kisses Faust on the cheek) Mwah!"

Faust then quickly keeps his distance, wipes his cheek but smiles while doing so.

"Your so cute when you go Gaga over honey."

"What can I say? I'm a sucker for sweets. Plus you even added the Boo ba pearls."

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Fri Dec 27, 2013 8:35 am

"Ooh, Honey," Chip grinned, "I've always wanted to try that. The bees never wanted to share theirs."

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Fri Dec 27, 2013 8:37 am

Elliot butt hops up and down his chair.

"Ooh ooh, Chip you gotta try this, try drinking this and biting the pearl."

Elliot takes a thimble from his pouch and puts some of the honey dew in it, he then picks a boo ba pearl from the drink and hands them to Chip.

Meanwhile, Faust continues to serve the drinks.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Fri Dec 27, 2013 8:50 am

"Ha ha!" Chip enthused, holding out her hands. "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" She graciously accepted the offerings and sucked the pearl dry before gulping down enough Honey Drink to make herself giddy. "Wow," she drooled, "that's good stuff." She took a lie down on Elliot's shoulder. "Now I know why the Bees want it all," she declared, putting one hand into the air.

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Fri Dec 27, 2013 8:57 am

"Beautiful isn't it. One moment your feeling a thick sweet drink in your mouth. The next you suddenly feel the pearl rub against your tongue and teeth. As you bite it a midst the sweet honey dew, it pops in a magical sensational way that just blows your mind! The more you pop these pearls in your mouth, THE MORE YOU GIGGLE IN JOYFUL SPLENDOR!♪♪♪"

Elliot Giggles uncontrollably as the drink starts to take it's effect on him. Faust continues to smile in amusement of his little twin's reaction.

"We're <giggle> probably not selling this to <hah!> the others, Elliot!"

I've only just met Hutch, so I don't know when the last time he ate was. You'll have to ask him. I did want him to get neutered, because of his breeding habits I've been told about. I guess we should do it now while he approves of it. Christopher said to the vet, making sure Hutch couldn't hear him.

No, I'm not a show dog. But the show dogs are really good looking models! Hutch replied to the skunk. Suddenly, Hutch gets a feeling in his spine.
My journalist senses are tingling! I think someone wants to slap me. Hutch voices.
Any who... Ah! Hutch pulls his phone out of his pocket.
Still no charge.
Christopher Roooobin! When you leave, take my phone. It's out of charge!
Okay. Christopher leaned against the wall.

Elliot Giggles uncontrollably as the drink starts to take it's effect on him. Faust continues to smile in amusement of his little twin's reaction.

Blick is still wheezing when Faust comes in with the drinks. She giggles when she sees Elliot's reaction to the sight of the honey dew. Once she sees Chip and Elliot act slightly different after drinking, Blick starts to get worried. "This doesn't have the same effect as Orange Soda, does it?".

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Fri Dec 27, 2013 9:55 pm

"This drink isn't fizzy in the least but it's like drinking something completely new for the first time every time. If you enjoy playing with bubble wrap, this is like playing with bubble wrap in your mouth but very refreshing."

Faust takes his share of honey dew and starts giggling too after popping another Boo ba pearl.

(ooc: Boo ba is supposed to be one word but it's censored.)

"Of course I like mysteries big brother.... I am a writer after all." Koa then takes a look at the drink. "If its sugary in any way someone will have to hold me down."

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Dec 28, 2013 12:47 am

"True. Hey, how did you go with that story you were writing last night?" Flynn sniffs at the drink and sneezes as the bubbles pop up his nose. "I'm not real sure if I'm supposed to eat honey actually. It has too much sugar for rabbits. Sorry. It smells delicious though." He gropes for a tissue to blow his nose which he can feel about to drip after his sneeze.

~~~~
"That's right. Practise at that speed and then when you get good at it, try it faster and see if it sounds familiar." Piper encourages with a wink.

~~~~
"Alright. I'll chat with him then. If you give your consent to the procedure, we can do it tomorrow. I'll also need- ah I see Sandy has given you the paperwork to register Hutch with us as a patient. I'll get Sandy to print the consent form for the surgery and you can sign that on your way out. We can give you a call when Hutch is ready to go home, if you like."

~~~~
"Good, good." Samantha inflates the cuff around Nadia's arm, checking her blood pressure and hydration and writes the results on the chart. "Your blood pressure is stabilised again which is good... Something is bothering you though, isn't it? You wanna talk about it?" Samantha queries, unaware that Paul had asked just that earlier.

Nadia let out a snort , annoyed by the very idea of having a conversation with anyone while being in a bad mood like this , but still , she spoke after a few seconds anyway "well , a few things , I know I said if Oreo agreed to the whole procedure thing , then I won't have anything against it and all , but he only agreed to this because he doesn't want to take the riskier option , I know it's his choice in the end , and I'm fine with that, but still , I feel kinda bad for the guy . The other thing that's bugging me though is about that dog , Hutch was it ? Are you sure he's mentally healthy ? Because I have no idea why anyone would do what he's apparently trying to do here"

"of course you do and I do too. It's what's best for him though so we have to be content with that. As to Hutch - well, many middle-aged men have had a similar procedure. There's nothing untoward about it. It has heaps of health benefits and it'll stop him having unwanted pups. It's his body anyway, like you said with Oreo, so it's his decision. And we've no reason do doubt his mental health aside from asking for this and whatever stress has caused his current physical condition, have we? He definitely seems all there to me. As to his offer of sacrificing himself for Oreo, well that's a rather touching and brave gesture and I don't think you would even think of doing that if you weren't totally sane. So don't worry yourself about it, OK? We don't need you getting stressed out needlessly either." Samantha ruffles the vixen's headfur reassuringly.

"If that's the case for you two then I'll just have to give a less sweeter mango shake with the same pearls. Would you two like that instead?"

Faust takes another sip of his drink.

(ooc: This drink is served with a wide straw and is cream thick. The pearls are about the size of marbles and it's really amazing when it pops in your mouth.)

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Dec 28, 2013 2:15 am

"Er... a shake made with milk?" Flynn raises an eyebrow. "Sorry to be so difficult. What are those pearl things anyway? I've never heard of them before."

69eist · Post by **69eist** » Sat Dec 28, 2013 2:48 am

"Don't worry, it won't have milk. It's just fruit mixed with syrup to make a slushy consistency. Boba pearls are just a large form of tapioca pearls. It's added for texture and refreshes the feeling in your mouth."

Faust stands up

"What I did with the honey dew was mix some honey, syrup and ice to make a slushy. The drink is then poured into glasses of Boba pearls. Sometimes I add some sugar to the drink but in Elliot's case, he's just susceptible to sweets....."

"Hehehehe, Hahahahahaah."

Faust smiles and waves at Elliot.

"Ah. That sounds good. Rabbits really aren't supposed to have too much fruit either because it tends to have a lot of sugar but I can have a little and I do enjoy it every now and again. See, a wild rabbit would normally eat only grass and maybe a few leaves and roots, so a domestic rabbit's diet should mimic that." explains Flynn. "That's why we eat a lot of pellets - they're mainly grass so they're good for us. They help to wear down our teeth too since unlike a carnivores, ours keep growing and we have to gnaw things like grass to keep them short so they don't cause problems. So that's rabbit dietary requirements in a nutshell."
Most of it, anyway, he reflects.

Radar continued her death stares at Lucky while Piper continued to encourage him. Finally she grumbled something to herself and removed her quiver from her back. Drawing a blank chock of wood around the size of a fist along with a small bit of sharpened flint. She began to fletch the wood with the flint, rounding it off slightly.
