Worship me...I SAID WORSHIP ME!!!!

[scout]

Dear owners, supporters, and volunteers of the KWSDT:On behalf of the Key West Sled Dog Team, we would like to invite you to check out the dogs and let the dogs meet each other. We are starting all over on the team and would like everybody to meet each other, dogs and people. We are looking forward to filling the necessary spots on the team so we can get on with practice! The ‘open kennel’ is to be held at the musher’s house and where the dogs will live when in training. If you would like to enroll your dog in training, and the team, please bring him/her to the open house and we will sign him/her up!
There are boarding houses that can be rented for short periods of time if you do not live in the area and would like to stay for a race, practice, or visit with your dog.

Please come around 10 AM. We are all looking forward to seeing you!


Sincerely,
The Key West Sled Dog Team ((KWSDT))


Mark sent these letters out to everybody in the neighborhood, including Ashlynn. He hoped there would be a lot of supporters, and maybe more dogs showing up to join the team.

Having received the letter, Ashlynn was happy to bring Fakhir to try out and meet other dogs that might be on the team as well. Ashlynn couldn't wait to see how this turned out. She didn't know all that many people around town and she guessed that everyone would be coming.
Fakhir had been jumpy and eager to get out anyway, so it was pretty much the perfect timing.

Ashlynn and Fakhir walked down the street to where the open house had been listed. Wearing a baby blue mini skirt, with a blue shirt that was just a tad bit darker. It had a big smiley face in the center that was giving a goofy grin. Dark brown eyes were surrounded in a bit of black eye liner, with a tad bit of white eyeshadow to bring out the green in her eyes. She wore some boots again today, white with two inch heels. they laced all the way up to the top, going to about her mid calf. A small white bag was carried over her shoulder.
Fakhir's coat had been brushed this morning, looking shiny and soft, as it always looked pretty much. The bandanna was tied around her neck, still the same as it always had been. A good luck token for both of them, it hardly ever left Fakhir's neck.

They walked together up the driveway to the house. A sign or two was posted up in the yard, telling everyone about the open house. She smoothed out her skirt a bit, and made sure her hair wasn't all frizzy, and walked up with Fakhir at her side.

Mark got out of his chair and petted Gin on top of the head. Well people should be coming now. He looked out the window and Ashlynn was here. He made sure he had no dirt on his face in the hallway mirror, and then rustled around to find a t-shirt. He then rushed to the door, T-shirt barely over his head, him pulling it down. "Hey." He said smoothly. "Hey Fahkir!" He patted the dog.

Stacey having recieved the letter as well came with Sampson and Jon had come too, being the Vet it was appropriate. He had been invited as well. Jon had brought Brittany with him and she walked close by his side as Sampson walked ahead of the pair. At first glance it may seem these two are a couple, but no. That's not true, they are 'house-mates.' In the sense that Brittany was on Stacey's team and it was easier then having her move around. Jon had been in a small Apartment anyway. They were laughing about something as they arrived a couple minutes after Ashlynn and her dog. Sampson stood ahead still, but only slightly as Stacey and Jonathan waited behind with smiles waiting to greet Mark, or be greeted. They had both just come back from a trail ride and in their typical sense hadn't changed. What did it matter, they looked fine and they were comfortable. Stacey had a loose long sleeved shirt on that was a nice Navy color with an odd but cool design on the front as well as her almost bell bottom jeans and riding boots hidden underneath. Jon had dark jeans on too that flared slightly out hiding all but the toe of his own riding boots, his shirt was a white button down shirt, untucked and the top button was open, not revealing much of anything but it gave hims that odd sophisticated look.

Ashlynn smiled seeing Mark coming out the door, pulling a t-shirt over his head. "Hey." she said with the smile still. Fakhir ran up to Mark, receiving a pat on her head and jumped up slightly, smelling another dog on him. "Fakhir, down." She said and the dog trotted back to her side obediently, and sat down, long fluffy tail thumping against the ground. "I got the letter you sent out. Has anyone else arrived?" she asked with a light smile.
Ashlynn loved meeting people and since she was kinda new here, she hadn't met all that many. Fakhir was a great around new people and other dogs too.

Just as she asked, the sound of others laughing came up from behind her, where she could see two people walking along side each other. At the man's side there was a dog, and up ahead a tad bit was another dog.

^{Mark smiled at his guests. "hey y'all." His southern accent hanging in the air. He knew Jon but, not greatly but hey, he was the vet. He did not know Stacey all that well, but had seen her here and there. "You guys are welcome to look around. I have made lunch inside, if you want to come in there first, or whatever..." He had made an arrange of different Sandwiches, he had Shrimp, a few loberster pieces, squid/octopus salad. It was an arrange of what he knew was a florida lunch.}

Jon helld up his hand a moment in a sort-of wave to Mark and Stacey approached him, holding out her hand to shake his. "I'm Stacey, Owner of Midnight Trails." She introduced herself and Samson, whose head reached just above her waist nudged her wanting to be introduced too. She smiled and patted his head, "This is Sampson. He's a Wolfhound, good ol' boy he is." And in agreement Sam let out a quick bark and let his tongue hang slightly giving the effect of a smile.
Jon however had approached Ashlynn, he did a funky and silly sort of bow just because and stood up holding out his hand to hold hers and give it a peck, again, just because. He smiled and stepped back slightly, he wasn't trying to hint at anything that he may have feelings toward her, it was just some strange thing he had felt like doing. Jon can be pretty random sometimes, just because. ((xD)) "I'm Jon, a pleasure to meet you. I'm the vet here in town and this is my girl Brittany. She's great to calm everyone down, Aren't ya girl?" He said rubbing her head as she stood near him, her eyes looking over Fakhir curiously.

[scout]

^{Mark smiled and shook Stacey's hand warmly. He was not all that great with more than one person, but he tried. He looked down at teh dog. "So you have a full team yet?" He asked, trying to make conversation. He looked over at Jon and Ashylnn. he shifted his weight and looked back at Stacey. "Lets go inside. Its still a bit chilly." He motioned for the group to move inside, along with the dogs.}

[Lynn__xFakhir]

Ashlynn looked over to Stacey and Mark then listened as she said that she was the owner of another sledding team. then looked over as Jon came over to her.
A soft giggle escaped her as her dark eyes watched his silly bow. A curtsy was given back, not a normal greeting for her, but it was different. She placed her hand in his to receive a light kiss. She wouldn't guess it meant anything, just sometimes you have to do something weird, you know? It's fun that way. "I'm Ashlynn, the pleasure is mine. I'm pretty new here, moved not too long ago." she said with a smile, then looked down to his dog. "She's real pretty." Ashlynn said holding out her hand to let Brittany sniff her. "This is Fakhir, really playful dog she is." Ashlynn added with a laugh as Fakhir poked her head underneath Ashlynn's arm and wagged her tail as she sniffed lightly at Brittany.

Stacey smiled, "Of course." She said warmly as Sampson not waiting stepped inside shaking the cold from his fur as he looked around the house, sniffing here and there until Stacey called him back. "Our team's mostly full, though a few members I don't think will be staying much longer. If they go, we'll have only 3 members I think, Britt here, Suka and Kaloosh." Stacey smiled and patted Sam's head lightly as he sat next to her on the floor as she sat on the couch.
Jon smiled, "I'm sure she appreciates that." He said, meaning Britt of course as he reached out to scratch Fakhir's ear lightly before motioning inside. "Fakhir's nice too, almost the same color as Britt in some places." He commented as he waited politely for Ashlynn to go in. He had to really, one reason she was partly in the way and another was the fact that it was simply polite to do so.

Roxane had received the letter, And brought Emmy and the others with her.
"Hello- Sorry if im late. Im Roxane, Musher of Raging Blizzards and this is Emmy.." Said Roxane as she patted Emmys head.

Emmy wandered over to the other dogs, Hoping to make a friend. "H-Hello..Im Emmy lead dog of Raging Blizzards." She said, being her normal shy self. She looked around nervously. She was afraid that she'd meet more enimes then friends.

[scout]

^{Mark was just about to close the door, when Roxane appeared. "Hello. Glad to meet you. I am Mark Funk." He smiled down at Emmy and led Roxane inside with the others.}

ooc you also have GIn on this team emmy

[Lynn__xFakhir]

Ashlynn smiled lightly. "I'm sure she does." lyrics sang as she walked inside the door, saying a polite thank you as she walked in, and made sure Fakhir followed then moved out of the way for the rest to come in. Mark lead the other girl and her dog inside the house, Roxane and Emmy she had heard. A smile was given as she waved to Roxane. "Hey, I'm Ashlynn. This is Fakhir." she said, offering her hand to Roxane, and Fakhir did as well, holding out her paw.
Ashlynn had always loved that trick and Fakhir had caught on quickly, being able to learn in a matter of days.


Her pin tongue lolled out of her mouth as she dropped her paws to the floor again and looked over to the other dog. A smile was given. "Hey, I'm Fakhir, swing left for Key West." she said with a doggy sort of smile and as her tail wagged. "It's a pleasure to meet you Emmy." Lyrics chirped happily. She was always happy, almost never shy, just like Ashlynn.
"That's my kid Ashlynn. She's great." Fakhir said with a happy yipp and jumped up slightly, leaning against her, and getting a medium sized treat shaped like a bone. She offered to share it with the others. It was a good size that they could split it well.

[♥-Emmy-♥]

"Nice to meet you" Said Emmy she said cheerfully. Emmy was almost always in a very good mood.

Gin smiled "Im Gin Swing Right of Key west"

[scout]

Mark smiled and quickly said, "What can I get you guys for drinks? Soda? Juice? Wine? Beer?" He asked the mushers and Vet. He patted Gin on the head as he waited for replies. "Oh, and you guys can have some of the auderves set out here." He pointed to the table with a variety of foods.
