Lighting up, Jack nodded and finished up her paperwork before following the big Uthax and her Houluh to the back of the adoption agency. She was happy she would be able to adopt, and she wondered which one she would take home this time. Of course she had an idea, but she wasn't sure it would still be there. Tilting her head, she looked over the pups, they were all getting quite big honestly, it was a shame people had gotten out of adopting for a little while, but she was sure that would turn around. Jack chewed her lip and looked over the pups, she really wanted the silky puppy she had bred with a friend of hers, but that could wait until later, she supposed, if it was still here. Her attention turned toward the single pup she hadn't had to send to the agency with a smile. "Murr, I'd like to take puppy V with me today, if that's alright?" she said, reaching down to scratch the beautiful little puppy under the chin.

Kadin nodded along as Murr spoke to him, putting the finishing touches on the application before handing it over. He waited, a bit impatient, to be heading back, but once he was there he seemed to calm down a bit. Even if he knew which puppy he wanted to get, he couldn't resist the chance to look over the rest of them while he was here. He walked slowly down the cages, looking in on each pup and noting the ones he might come back for, given the chance. But, at the end of the day, he DID know which pup he was here for. So, without delaying any further, he headed over to that puppy's cage to nod at the small furry form inside.
"That one. Puppy U is the one I'd like to take home today." To join its sibling and father in his kennels, of course. He was looking forward to training them together.

Jack;
Murr nodded happily and picked up the puppy, putting it into a basket before handing it over. "Of course! Pup V will go with Jack of Natural's Preserve. Please let us know when you've finished training," she said.
Kadin;
With a smile and a nod, he was right at the cutoff date for one he had bred, Murr picked up the puppy and placed it carefully in a basket. Holding it out to the man, she smiled happily, "Pup U will go with Kadin and Flamestone Kennels, please let us know when it is sufficiently trained!"

Bors wasn't sure what he was doing when he reached the big building, and he stared for a few moments. Not many people could speak to him, so there was certainly a language barrier. He grunted a little and pushed his way into the building, hunched down to get through the door. Inside there was... another Uthax?? The big creature stared for a moment at the other Uthax and then raised his hand but noticed something wrong with her eyes. Giving a shrug, he went over and looked over the paperwork, filling in what he had been told to write in exactly since he wasn't necessarily the most literate yet. "'dopt 'Luh," he grunted, pausing for a moment before he added, "'lease." While he didn't know what else to do at the moment, it was going to be fine, he would adopt one of these "Houluh" and learn how to train them so he could do some more breeding the Labs allowed.

The voice sounded... familiar, maybe? She was surprised when Cacao indicated another Uthax, and she wondered how long he had been in the area. "Of course, please follow me and I will show you the puppies." Murr motioned for her Houluh to guide her, and off they went to show the newcomer where they were held.

A nod, Bors was happy to follow, and he crept along behind her and her... Houluh? Is that what a grown one looked like? He tilted his head as he looked at the brown animal and then shook his head a little, glancing over the puppies when they reached the area where they were held. Staring, he looked over each of them, wondering which one he should take. Apparently he wasn't required to do much, just... train one or something, and that wasn't the hardest thing, he suspected. At least he could try and do it right now, right? Bors leaned down and peered at a quiet little puppy who just sat there wagging it's tail, and he looked over at the other Uthax before pointing and giving a little grunt, "X, 'lease." He knew he should say more, especially since he suspected she spoke their common language, Uthax, but he was a very... even tempered and quiet individual.

Murr picked up the puppy and put it into a basket before holding it out the other Uthax with a smile on her face, "Puppy X will go with Bors of Northern Lights Kennel. Please enjoy, and let us know when you have trained it to our satisfaction."

Briar was back at the adoption place. Anything to get him out of that creepy, cursed house with the strange man who lived there. More pups were... maybe not exactly what he needed, but curiosity had gotten the better of him, and he did want to see how the place was getting on. Were there any new puppies? Had the ones that were here when he had adopted Lyra all gone to new homes? It had been a while since his last adoption, so it would have been a shame if they were still here. At least they had playmates... Or, well, they should have some, right? If there was only one pup, then what happened?
Walking into the place, he signed to the staff, -May I look at the pups?- A peek couldn't hurt, surely. He'd have a look and then he would go home. That was what he was telling himself, anyway.

Cacao nudged Murr's hand after a moment or two, then pawed at her hand again to signal the signing. Murr perked up and felt for the paperwork before giving a small smile and a nod, "Hello there, I hope you're here to look at puppies! I apologize if you're signing to me, for I cannot see," she said, patting Cacao's head in thanks.

Oh. That... put a wrench in things, Briar thought. He didn't think he would run into someone who was blind, though maybe that was just arrogance and lack of forethought on his part. He was the one who couldn't speak, after all, so the irony wasn't lost on him.
He could grunt, but that would make himself more conspicuous - a mute was less noteworthy than someone with a voice who couldn't speak, and if they were looking for him, the fact that he'd had his tongue cut out would be a distinct identifying factor. He'd rather not reveal it if he didn't have to.
Sighing, he moved to the corridor that led to the room with the puppies, though he didn't go any further just yet. He merely rapped his knuckles on the wall there, to let the woman know that was where he was, and hoped his intent would be conveyed that way.

Cacao growled as she watched him move toward the hall where the pups were without Murr, but the Uthax laid a hand on her head and quieted her, listening to the rapping on the wall. "Very well, follow me to the pups then," she said kindly, standing up and leading the person toward where the pups were, "Once you've found one you would like to adopt, please come get me and put my hand on the braille lettering if you would be so kind."

Briar eyed the Houluh growling at him, but in the end things seemed to work out. He didn't exactly blame the woman for having a creature there on guard in case anyone tried any funny business though. It was a feeling he knew all too well.
Stepping into the room with the puppies, he was relieved to see none that he recognized. But past that point, he actually had no idea where to start.
He needn't have worried on that front though. Like last time, the pup picked him: a pale off-grey-ish looking pup that walked right up to him as if it owned him already.
He picked it up, read the tag on its collar, then walked back out and hunted for the corresponding letter in braille. He couldn't read, but matching one letter was within even his means. Gingerly he guided the woman's hand to the letter A, then moved it back and forward again.

Ah yes, AA, the newest put to be brought to the HAA. Murr smiled and nodded, taking the pup and putting it into a basket for the person to take with them, "Very well, Pup AA will go with... Briar of Sedge Meadow Trails Kennel. Please inform us when you've reached your obligation for this puppy."

Very quickly, I found that having a single puppy or young animal of any sort could be a major chore. Thankfully with Mira full grown, she wasn't nearly so needy. But Darwin seemed to be constantly underfoot, underpaw. He didn't want to leave my side. If I had to leave him alone and go out someplace, half the time anything I'd left in his pen had been destroyed. Chewing everything. I had to wait until Darwin fell asleep to get out of the kennel and consult Kevin about something for the poor houlou to do. I had Dawson accompany me. My anxiousness didn't alleviate his Get toys, get a larger space, take him for more walks... all those things I already had tried, but without much credit to my name, I had to afford said things, and even to feed them. My apartment feels full already, and Dawson doesn't seem to know how to handle the puppy. "What about adopting a new puppy playmate? There's plenty of breeders in the city who donate the figurative runt of the litter to the contest hall's adoption agency." she suggested. Thus why I am here now, opening the doors and entering into the spacious room. There's a... I don't know what that is, and a desk, and a...? Was that what a houlou could grow into? Smelled female, she has a similar build to Dawson. "I...I'm here to adopt a friend for my young houlou." I finally get out.

It felt like it had been forever since Fiera had been to the HAA. In some ways, it had been- the last houluh she had adopted from here was Bubbles, and she had been all grown up for ages now. Still, she had been away from here for so long that she was sure there would be some new pups in by now. The door jingled as she entered the agency, admiring the scene the same as usual. “Hello hello!” She said as she approached the front desk, placing her hands on it eagerly. “I’m here for Breezy Daze kennels, and I’d like to peruse your FINEST houluh pups today!” She said eagerly. Frankly, she was pretty excited to be doing this. Houluh breeding had seen an uptick in popularity recently, so she was sure there would be plenty for her to choose from. The real question would be which one to pick!
