Vino was a cutie, his big brown eyes could bring anyone into his head for a little while. Jack knew that she was at a loss around him, but Buzz was pretty cute too, and she laughed as he ran to the river again to see if it was still cold. She called out to him to be careful and then closed her eyes for a little while, hand still on Vino's back. She wasn't sure what she wanted right now, but it would be fine in the long run. Chewing on her lip, she hoped that everything would work out, that she wasn't going to be upset about anything at the moment, but she just hoped that she could figure out what to do with things and all that. As she listened for Buzz, she heard him splash a little and then run back to her, he was covered in algae, which made her chuckle as she cleaned him up as best as she could, walking him over to the river and dunking him a few times to get rid of the nasty smell. The woman then wrapped a towel around him and settled him down next to Vino. This would do for awhile.

Jack was getting a little bored of just sitting there though, which was an issue, she really wanted to get to training, but she knew that Vino was still a little too small to learn what she wanted to train him, and Buzz was all wet and drying off, she didn't want to push him and get him sick or anything. Sighing, she hoped that it would work out for her, but she wasn't sure for the moment, it was great though, having some bonding time with two of her pups. Jack pushed her hair back and then laid down next to the littlest puppy, smiling a bit when he whimpered and curled up closer to her for now. Buzz was having none of it, but laid down on his own, wondering when they would get to work again. It was hard enough to get things done by themselves, but now they had another little puppy to worry about, he wasn't sure he liked it at all. It was going to work though, he knew whatever the woman put her mind to, it would get done, and he hoped that all would end up okay after it was all said and done anyway.

With Buzz still wet and Vino still too small, she just hoped they could get this training done soon and be done with it. Buzz needed to grow, he was getting older and older and was still a juvenile though, she knew that was going to be an issue if she didn't get him grown pretty quickly and all that. Frowning a bit, she hoped she could get them all grown soon, maybe before even another breeding, but she doubted that was going to be the case at this point. Stretching out, she rolled onto her back and put her hand on Buzz's leg for a little bit to make sure he was still there. It was alright, they would make it, and she was sure that all of her Houluh would grow up easily and well, that she wasn't a terrible animal owner and that she wasn't failing her Kennel. Sighing, she wished that was true, but knew it wasn't, she really was failing her Kennel, and it sucked when she thought about it for a little while. Giving a little frown, she just hoped that she wasn't going to have to deal with these thoughts for too long, she just didn't have time.

She held her hand out and Buzz put his paw on it as he laid down, head on his other paw while he continued to dry off in the towel. What was it with pups being in water anyway? It wasn't like they needed to swim, well they might but it was hard for her to come to terms with some of it, she figured with a little frown. Jack chewed on her lip some more until it was a little bloody and she groaned, she really needed to stop that, but it was a habit and she had tried to break it before, it just didn't seem to work for her though. She didn't know when they would get to training, probably whenever Buzz got a bit drier, but she didn't know when that would be, which was an issue. Oh well, as long as Vino was sleeping through all of this, then she was happy with things. Really she would be happier if she could get Buzz trained up and all that, but it was going to take a little while longer with that at this point. Shrugging a little, she propped herself up on her elbows and checked her lines again.

It was getting closer to time to train up Buzz the rest of the way, just a little while longer for drying off and all that and then they could get to work on getting the last two moves trained up and then his show done. She sighed though, nothing on the line, which she expected, but was still disappointed by it. Laying back down, she glanced over at Vino again and chuckled. He had rolled onto his back with his paws up in the air, folded over a little as they were pretty limp still. At least he was having a good nap, she hoped that would stay that way until she was done with Buzz, but with her luck it probably wouldn't go that way. A shrug, oh well, it didn't really matter, as long as she got all of this done and he was still on his lead for now. Sighing, she closed her eyes again, one hand on each pup, and she wondered what would happen if she fell asleep for a little while. It was hard to imagine that things were giving her problems right now, but they were and she wished it would just all go away.

All she could do right now was rest as she waited for Buzz to dry off a little. It was alright in the long run, they didn't have to work all the time and all that. She didn't know what to do with them both, but she really wouldn't know what to do with three of them at the same time. She sighed a little and then managed a bit of a chuckle. At least she was committed to this and all that, but she didn't know what to do with everything now that she was doing it. Honestly she felt a lot stronger than she had in a long time, and she wished that it was because of everything she had put into the Labs in the time she had been there. It was hard for her to understand it though, she figured with a little frown, and the woman glanced at the two now sleeping pups and wished she knew what to do all the time. That was part of life though, she knew, you didn't know what would always happen, which was a bit of a shame, but she knew it would be alright in the long run.

Just a little while longer, she figured as she drifted off to sleep herself, the three of them snoozing in the warm sun, next to the cool waters, and she hoped it was alright in the long run. It was alright, she knew, shivering a little for a moment in her sleep, there was nothing here that could hurt them, she had chased off all the big fish for now and she knew it was going to be alright for the pups no matter what. Still, however, she felt like she was failing a little bit and she hated that feeling. Shaking her head, she rolled over and curled around Vino, Buzz's paw still in her hand for now. It was instinctive to treat these pups with care, and she really hoped she would do them justice. It was going to be interesting to see what was going to happen with them, how they were going to grow up, and she just wished that she could do what she wanted to for the moment. All she had to do was train them and grow them, then, perhaps, breed them and start it all over again. It was hard to come to terms with sometimes.

A bit longer, it still wasn't time. Her eyes shifted under her eyelids and she whimpered in her sleep, curling up tighter around the littlest pup. Buzz woke up for a moment and licked her on the face until she calmed down, and she finally relaxed a little and sighed. She didn't know what she was dreaming about, just... pain in her heart. It hurt, and she didn't know what to do about it. There was something missing, and not in the way of a node, part of her heart seemed to be gone, but it was slowly coming back. Whatever had happened... she still didn't know what it was, wasn't aware that something was missing when she was awake. It all worked out though, as long as she didn't remember the pain. That was the hardest part, maybe she just pushed it aside, forgot about it as she was awake, made it a point not to remember whatever it was at this point. It was sad, she knew that much, but the details? Those were gone. Her hand squeezed Buzz's paw for a moment and wished she knew what was going on sometimes. It would be alright in the long run though, she figured sleepily.

Her heart... Something was wrong with it but she didn't know what. Maybe that's why she was clinging to her animals so much lately, she figured that might be it in her sleepiness. Jack still wasn't awake, and neither were the pups for now, but Jack knew it was a matter of time before it was time to start training again. Buzz would learn the last two things he needed and then it would be Vino's turn to be trained up a little bit. It was hard for her to come to terms with things, and it was alright in the future of it all though, she figured with a sleepy smile. All she could do was keep on keeping on, a cliche, she supposed, but it didn't really matter, she figured at the same time. Her eyes fluttered open for a moment and all thoughts were forgotten from when she had slept, and she sat up smiling, stretching out a little bit. It was almost time to finish Buzz's training, she wouldn't wake him up on purpose, but it was about time for them to get to work again. That was the hard part, she figured with a low chuckle and a smile.

All thoughts from when she had been asleep had disappeared, and she started to look around for some driftwood. Buzz would need it if they were going to finish his training. She was going to teach him how to pounce on command and headbutt things, though maybe that was a bad idea. She laughed, disturbing the two pups a little bit, but she quieted down after a mere moment. Jack pushed her hair back and wondered what she would do if he didn't get it, that was the hardest part to come to terms with, but that was fine at the same time. Giving a little laugh, she gently shook Buzz awake, forgetting what she had thought earlier about not waking him up on purpose. He stretched out and yawned, but shook off and trotted over to where they had been training the last time just in case. Vino was still sleeping, though he was on his side now next to her bag. All she could do was hope this would work out in the long run, but she had ideas that were hard to come to terms with. At least she had a few things were on deck if they didn't want to learn them.

[Buzz: Pounce - 1]
Time to get to training, she figured as she looked over at the sleeping Vino. She rotated the ring of animal tongues around her finger for a moment and then explained it to Buzz after taking a deep breath. "Okay, I want you to pounce on this stick when I wiggle it and say pounce. You push off with your back legs and pin it with your front ones, okay?" she told him, raising an eyebrow as he glanced over at the water. He needed to focus, and she knew it was going to be difficult if he didn't. Part of him wanted to show off for the smaller puppy, but he was still asleep and probably would be until this training ended and they had to leave. Jack knew her luck ran about like that at least. She looked back at Buzz and then wiggled the stick, "Pounce, Buzz!" The little pup wiggled his tail from side to side for a moment and then jumped clumsily onto the stick, overshooting it a little bit at the same time. Jack laughed and gave him a treat, he'd done well for his first try, but that was going to be good for the rest of the training.

[Buzz: Pounce - 2]
Jack looked over at Vino to make sure she hadn't woken him up. That would be the worst, having a whining pup at the end of a lead, trying to get with the bigger kids for the rest of the training. She chuckled, he was a deep sleeper it would seem. Pushing her hair back, she wiggled the stick again in front of Buzz, "Pounce!" He jumped at it and tried to pin it to the ground, but she was a little stronger than he was and she laughed a bit as he fell over due to it wiggling too much. She patted him on the back and fed him a treat, much to his chagrin, he didn't need her pity, and he eyed her as he ate the treat happily for a moment or two. The woman knew it was going to take a little bit for all of this to be finished, but it would be worth it in the end of it all, she was sure of that much at least. He just needed to fine tune the training and then they would be alright, the ring really helped things out at this point, she knew with a smile.

[Buzz: Pounce - 3]
The cute little reddish pup was still laying there fast asleep, his chest rising and falling in a slow rhythm. It was the best of it all, she knew with a smile, for him to stay asleep until they left and then came back with Phantom as well. Hopefully at that point they could start his training as well, and raised an eyebrow as she thought about it. Was she being a little too ambitious with all of this? It was hard to tell, she knew with a little sigh. Turning back to Buzz, the cute little moon Houluh, she looked at him and then pointed at the stick now that he had the command down, "Pounce, Buzz!" Buzz wiggled his tail again and then pounced on the stick as best as he could, attempting to bite down on it a little as he did so. This would be mixed with the move of headbutting the opponent at some point, she just didn't know what was going to happen at the moment, if it was going to be as well. She gave him another treat and patted him on the back, a little unsure of where they needed to be at the moment.

[Buzz: Pounce - 4]
Jack pointed at the stick again after moving him off of it and then told him once more, "Pounce, Buzz!" He barked and pounced on the stick, a bit better with form, at least he hadn't overshot it this time, and she gave a low chuckle as she hoped for things to work out in the long run. With Vino still sleeping somehow, she knew that this would be good for everyone at this point. Moving on a little, she pointed at a larger rock this time, "Buzz, pounce!" While he looked at her with an odd expression for a moment, he eventually pounced on the rock and had it trapped under his forepaws until she tossed him the treat. She knew he was getting it, but they had to make sure of things before they could call it good and go on to his show. Plus they still had one more thing for him to learn before they could do that, and make it all official and nice and all that. Smiling, she patted him on the head as he ate his treat and then plopped down next to him before thinking it over just a little while longer.

[Buzz: Pounce - 5]
Hearing Vino whimper a little in his sleep, the woman moved over to check on him for a moment before getting back to training Buzz some more. It was going to be fine, they would get this down and then all would be well and good at this point. She smiled and pointed at a larger piece of wood this time before giving Buzz the command, "Pounce, Buzz!" The little pup instantly pounced on the stick with some pretty good form at this point too, he had figured it out beautifully, and she hoped that everything would work out after awhile. Teaching him to headbutt things was going to be a little more difficult, most animals shied away from using their heads like that, but she had trained it before a few times and figured it wouldn't be all that difficult for her to do once again. Jack pushed her hair back a little and wished that she could be done already, but knew that wasn't going to happen. Maybe soon, but not right now, she just wasn't sure quite yet and all that. Stretching out, she hoped that it was going to be alright when they were finished and everything.
