N'zule wasn't sure who bullied him into this. He wanted to say it was Nisha, but then Delith's excitement over having a small furry animal would bubble up inside his head, and then he wanted to blame her.
In the end it was easier to blame both of them.
He slid into the stable, and watching the chaos, nearly ran in the other direction, before stepping into the fray. Two little dogs were chasing each other around, while the rest of the litter seemed to have found various humans to play with.
N'zule glanced around, spotted the girl(Neris or something) who Nisha had told him about, and began to move slowly toward her. He'd ask her if he could have one, and hopefully she'd say no, and then Del wouldn't be able to whine to much.

Amneris was happy that people were connecting with the puppies. "Yes, sir, they are ready now. If you need any advice on their care, the beastcrafters have said they will help anyone who may have questions."
Mine, a BRONZE dragon is talking to me.The little green was in awe of the large beasts.Myneth, they are quite easy to care for. They can be fun and their fur is feels nice. The only part I don't like is the barking. These ones aren't too bad, they are small. Mostly they are just hard to potty train. They will have accidents in your weyr.That was all Labeth really knew.
She grinned at Jeyna. "I can't pretend I didn't want to keep them all. I did but it wouldn't be fair to them. Not when there are people who can give them more." The pups did seem to be making progress with the people who they had approached. The runt stood slowly and jumped off of Amneris into Jeyna with a yip. Amneris tried not to say anything about how the puppies were choosing the people to Jeyna, because it seemed to her that Jeyna had been chosen.
N'zule came in and looked just as Nisha had described. She stood up and walked over to him. "N'zule! Your just as Nisha said you would be. Theres a couple pups left if your interested." The two boys had tired of their game and were laying next to eachother, innocent as can be. They looked very similair and had similair personas. The dynamic duo let their almond eyes settle on the greenrider. It would be hard to have them seperated, Amneris thought to herself.
The drudge had come to dp a repair on a stall when he heard a commotion on the other side of the stable. There must be puppies, thats what it sounded like. The drudge had to finsih his job first, which was to get this stall done. It wouldn't be useable till he fixed it and they were expecting a messenger tonight who would be needing the stall.
When he had finally finished he walked towards the sounds of barking only to find a room filled with people and puppies. He had never thought to have a puppy. He walked in further and without realizing who it was, stood right next to N'zule staring at the two pups. They were now looking first at one man and then the other.
"Adorable." He whispered. Then he looked over at where the older canine lay. She had a good disposition. "Excuse me, girl. I don't know much about canines but do they do well with babies and children?"
Ameris answered the drudge just as she would a Bronzerider. "Oh well, I got their mother when I was a young girl of about eight. She's been my protector for that long."
Rory smiled and looked back down at the pups. All the while too distracted to notice that it was N'zule standing to his right.

"Thank you, I like her a lot. To bad they don't know their names," R'lec leaughed as he looked at the girl who owned the mother, all the pups and their mother were pretty but he liked his little princess. Then it hit him Princess that's what he'd call her, she was after so much like one already it wasn't that much of a difference for her to have that name.
Potty Train what is that young one?[/i] Myneth asked confused, but His was determined to have a furry thing so he might as well learn about them. The bronze sighed but waited to hear from the weyrling green.
R'lec looked at Amneris then decided he may as well tell her the name he thought of, he was proud of the little girl who had stolen his heart. She was so perfect in most every way her eyes even reminded him of his bronze in a way.
"I've actually decided to name her Princess, does that fit her?" R'lec asked as he held her in his arms and she began to doze. He was going to take her to his weyr soon and take a nap with her, This was the one thing that seemed to steal him away, this little canine was proving to do what no child or woman could and that was get his devotion.

The runt yipped and leaped into her arms from Amneris'. While Jeyna made sure to catch the little one rather than dropping her in surprise, her eyes were wide. She had noticed the choosing of the puppies, but she had very much not expected this! The thought never crossed her mind that she had been rather clueless and that the puppy - and the young woman concerned about the runt - had already chosen her to adopt the little one.
She held the puppy gently, stroking its fur, but her eyes and expression communicated a kind of stunned astonishment and fear.
Mine?
I think I just adopted a puppy. The runt. Ragoth, what am I supposed to do with a puppy?
Raise it?
You're helpful, Ragoth.
It is a puppy. You feed it and take care of it and do not neglect me. What is the problem?
"'Neris, I don't know that this is such a good idea. I have no idea how to raise a puppy, much less one with special needs." Which would be a lot more convincing if she wasn't cuddling the little girl who was happily licking at her now.

((Eep! It ran away with me! *giggles* here’s a reply that doesn’t really do much… but its there. ^_^))
While Eisu noted the people around the stall she would have been lying if she had let herself believe it was anything more than a half note as her attention was completely stolen by the puppy who had ambled her way. He was easily the biggest of the bunch and yet… he was so small. Carefully folding her skirts, she kneeled down and offered a hand to the little guy who was yipping playfully at her – after, of course, she had spotted another man doing so. It looked like he knew what he was doing.
The puppy sniffed the hand a moment then let out another little yip before helping himself right into her lap. Surprised, Eisu lost her balance and despite her attempts at keeping her skirts clean she was now sitting in the straw with the fluffy male trying to lick her face. The look of surprise was quickly washed away and replaced with one of pure delight.
Barely hearing the mention of the teddy bear face over the fuss the many puppies were putting up, Eisu glanced up and found the young woman who had invited her here looking her way while talking to another. A sweetheart huh? Looking down again the little puppy wasted no time in taking advantage of her facing being closer as he landed a little kiss on her nose. No, she wouldn’t be able to argue with Amneris.
Petting the puppy who was now sitting happily in her lap as if he had won the greatest prize of all and was very pleased with it, Eisu listened and watched those around her a little more closely. She heard Amneris talking to the woman next to her and listened. It was a bit of a surprise that they were talking about her, but then again Eisu had not been here long enough to meet hardly anyone. Of course people would ask, so Eisu listened to the answer and decided it was good enough. Eisu would be more than interested in introducing herself, but she would not disturb other peoples conversations.
Watching two more men enter the little stall, the young healer remained sitting deciding it probably took up less space, and besides the puppy in her lap didn’t look too keen on the idea of moving anytime soon. Then another of the men mentioned a name for the puppy and Eisu’s smile faulted just a little bit as she looked down at the little fluff ball laying on her skirt.
“I suppose you need a name too?” she said softly to the puppy, her smile coming back as he rolled over and stretched out in an obvious plea to pet his belly. “Oh alright.” Petting his belly lightly she couldn’t help but laugh as the puppy started kicking just one of his back legs wildly as if the spot she had touched was itchy.

({ *wince* These threads move so quickly...it'll be short, but I need to reply before it gets farther along. -3- })
Z'ir had noticed the pup that broke off from the group. How could he not have? The little thing had trotted right over to him and dared to bark at him. Not just once, but enough to let him know that she was interested in him and wanted him to come to her. The brownrider was not the sort to willingly break an impasse, but after holding the pup's gaze for a good amount of him, he felt something give.
He knew the pup wasn't going to be the one to come to him, so he moved in and knelt, offering his hand to her. It didn't seem wrong to give in to the pup. Honestly, he didn't think anyone could withstand those eyes of hers for any longer than he had. As per his usual, he ignored most everyone else around him. He had come to inquire about a dog, not chat.

V'rak coddled the pup for what seemed like a very long time, pawed limbs fliling happily as he tickled it's belly, small pink tongue lapping at anything that came remotely near her face. The Weyrleader was obviously bonding and quickly falling for the pup. It wasn't a hard feat, as V'rak wasn't as hard a man as he sometimes appeared to be.
Blue eyes then glanced at the others before he moved to crouch beside Amneris, still craddling the puppy as she tried to wiggle free. Though it was true, the girl had been forced to put her beloved canines int he stable, now that so many were being adopted by riders,he just might have to bend those rules. Dragon eggs, save him.
"They are wonderful puppies, Amneris," he said, balancing on the balls of his feet while he continued to pet the pup much to her thrill. He glanced back up at the others again, "I'll let them keep them but if the Weyr starts to smell like puppy, they'll all be back out here, you understand of course?" Naturally, no one wanted a Weyr that smelt like puppy waste, so he expecte everyone to clean up after their newest bundles of joy, and he made sure everyone heard that part too.
He couldn't tell them "no they can't have a puppy", but he could remove them fromthe Weyr should they cause a problem in the future.
He looked to Amneris again, then down to the pup in his arms, "And as for this little girl," he smiled, he was certain she'd be less trouble than the others, or at least he HOPED, "May I have her?" he asked.

Its how they learn to well, pee pee outside. At least thats what Mine called it. Labeth answered,still a bit unsure of the topic herself. Amneris however was not paying attention to whom Labeth was speaking with. There were too many people for her to have that sort of specific attention on her dragon's thoughts. "Its a lovely name. I hope you enjoy her as much as I have." Amneris smiled at R'lec and pretty much gave him consent to take the pup whenever he was ready.
"You raised Ragoth, a puppy should be no problem. Besides you can always get in touch with me to help when you need it." Amneris was thrilled that the puppy had gone over to Jeyna like she wanted. Everything was working out so well. The bluerider might not know it but Amneris had been hoping she would take the littlest of the litter. She had to have someone she knew well and trusted with her own life, take the puppy.
Neris saw also that Eisu was getting along with the pup who had come up to her. She wasn't going to interefere anywhere, she was just watching everyone interacting. The two tricolored males were still sitting and looking up at the two men. First at the one and then at the other, as if trying to decide who they liked better.
The girl near the doorway walked closer to Z'ir's outstretched hand and sniffed it. Once she determined he was good enough for her to play with she made a little puppy bow. This was quickly followed by pouncing on his hand. She wanted him to play with her.
"Oh I'm sure they will all take excellent care of them. If they have any trouble the beastcrafters are usually milling around out here. Of course you may have her. She obviously likes you a great deal." Amneris said to V'rak. The puppy had decided on him and far be it from her to stop the puppy from being in the family she wanted to be in.

Jeyna chuckled slightly at the mild protest that she heard from Ragoth at Amneris' comment, I am not the same as a pet!
The blue rider grinned over to the young woman, "I don't think that Ragoth appreciated that comparison, but maybe you're right. Babies are babies." Though she was very glad that she would never be in the position to discover if that included human babies. "Though I think the ability to communicate might be a bit different between dragonet and puppy, which may make all the difference." After all, an out of sorts weyrling could let his or her rider know exactly what was wrong.
She snuggled the now happily sleeping little one, "And I will take you up on that, 'Neris. If I need any help, I will be coming straight to you with the little one, unless you're tending to Weyrling duties. And you will definitely be helping me train her to not soil my weyr." She grinned a bit, that was the part she was least looking forward to.
"I'll need a name for the little one." She looked at the little puppy and hmmed. "She's so tiny... I think maybe Pixie."
She smiled to Amneris and then looked around at the others, carefully masking her amusement at seeing her wingsecond being affectionate with the puppy, then turned to grin at the weyrleader, "I don't think you have to worry to much, sir. Even if someone could deal with the smell of not cleaning up after the puppies, I don't think the dragons would be ok with it."

"Thank you I'll have Myneth contact Labeth if I have any problems." R'lec smiled and held the little girl even closer she was amazing. He was completely drawn to her, like no other living thing except Myneth had done. He was going to love her until she died if he didn't first, she was an amazing creature.
Princess grumbled a little because of the movement but other than that the little collie was content and her tail thumped lightly against R'lec's arm. She was a wonderful little girl and was happy to be with him he was going to take good care of her.

Z'ir couldn't help but smile at the puppy's antics and wiggle his hand away from her. Not playing with her didn't seem to be an option, and she was too cute. Well, cute yes...but also demanding. There was something about the way she barked that left no room for opposition.
She would be perfect.
"Amneris?" he paid more attention than most people gave him credit for, and he knew all the names of the new Weyrling class. "May I..." he couldn't pick the best word and frowned slightly. "take care of her?"
