“Ranger! Get your ass back here!”
Jules dove for the spunky black lab as it raced past her. She missed and landed face first into the red dirt of the agility training pen. The dog rounded the fencing, tongue hanging out of the side of her mouth as she looked back at Jules still laying flat in the dirt. She was almost sure that the dog would be laughing at her if it were capable.
The was she continued to run circles around her was laughter enough.
She pushed herself off the ground and brushed the dirt from of her cut-off shorts as real laughter sounded off behind her. Loud and brash and mocking. She looked over her shoulder to see Sairus leaning against the wooden fence post. His long blonde hair was pulled into a bun at the top of his head and a gigantic grin dominated most of his face.
Julianna huffed and turned back to the Labrador standing at the opposite end of the ring; panting and blinking in the Colorado sunshine. She whistled for the hound to come to her, and she was ignored. Sai laughed again.
“Are you going to help or just watch?” she called to her partner, though she was pretty sure she knew the answer. She kicked the ground with her boots and watched the dust fly away in the breeze. She bent down to pick up the hat she had lost sometime earlier in the hour.
“You said you could handle this one.”
“I can handle this one,” she insisted, smashing the hat back down over her black hair, and glaring at Ranger. “Will you go get me one of the clickers from the office? I forgot mine.” She was pretty sure he was still laughing when he walked away. Whistling again, Jules jogged towards the dog. Who promptly took off.
The clicker was still sounding off as she worried at it between her thumb and forefinger. She walked past the line of kennels and curious canines cocked their heads and wagged their tails. “Almost dinner time, guys,” she sang, inciting the a chorus of excited whines. Nearly all of their kennels were full. Between boarding and grooming they were usually busy during the summer as families came and went through the idyllic town.
The pathetic puppy sounds continued as she walked past them. Shaking her head, she pushed into the office. She sighed happily as she was greeted by ice cold air conditioning. Pushing her way behind the counter, she shrugged out of the flannel over-shirt she had been wearing, revealing the layer of dirt and sweat she was covered in. Dark skin marred darker where her shirt hadn’t protected it.
Shoving the clicker into her pocket, she started rummaging around the papers that littered the back counter. There was no rhyme or reason the organization and Jules was feeling run down just looking at the haphazard stacks. “Sairus!” she called, lifting another stack and putting it to the side. “Have you seen the paperwork for Saber? Is his dietary allergy corn or gluten?”
She pulled her hat from her head and threw it on the counter top to claw fingers through hair. She didn’t get a response, so she figured he was too far out in the kennels. Jules fidgeted on her feet, hips swaying to the quiet music playing overhead as she continued to finger uselessly through papers.
