Owen had entered through the front door of Lucky Dog Ranch Grooming and Boarding unnoticed by the woman who was rifling through papers, calling for assistance, and dancing around to the music. He had stepped right on a stapled group of papers that had fallen to the floor with his dirt clod boots. He bent down and brushed the larger chunks of dirt from the papers and noticed the name printed at the top "Saber." Apparently the file for the dog who had an allergy to wheat products.
"It's gluten." He answered as he un-shouldered his hiking pack and leaned it against the wall by the door before moving to the counter. Like a silent shadow at his side, Owen's German Shepard followed and sat obediently at his feet when his owner stopped moving.
Owen set the boot-stamped papers on the counter. "Sorry I - uh - I stepped on it when I - you know came inside." Looking very apologetic, he glanced behind him and pushed his thumb at the door as if that were sufficient explanation for his presence in her business. He had come through the door of a business with an open sign and already managed to mess something up and disrupt the end of the day dance session, as well. He combed his fingers through unwashed locks of dirty blonde hair before hiding his hands in the pockets of his battered leather jacket worn over a grey hoodie.
"Are you full or - ?" He shifted his feet. "This place was recommended in town. I'd like to get him groomed," The German Shepard lifted its head to stare up to who'd addressed him and his tail beat the floor. Owen's eyes passed over the messy filing system that wasn't doing the proprietor any favors, "if you have the time."
The dog wasn't the only one of the pair who needed to be cleaned up. He had hiked with his canine companion for a little over a month from Seattle, Washington south and east until he ended up in small town at the base of the Rockies in Colorado. Exhausted and needing to resupply and recover, Owen had decided to stop in town and look for temporary work. He had plans to continue east until they crossed the United States.
"I'm looking for a place to stay for a little while. Do you know anyone looking for some help?"
