Gwen's wolf dog trotted towards the corral. He barked sharply basically commanding the other dog to get away from the horses.
Gwen sat down. "Hmm lets see a certain someone's birthday maybe?"she said slowly still grinning. She leaned back in her chair. She glanced out the window hearing her wolf's bark.

The brown dog didn't tower of the wolf dog but he out weighted the other. Instead of backing down he ignored the other and went to snap at the stallions hooves.
"Yeah I don't know about that. Maybe I can come up with some extra work. Or maybe we can get away from the Fort for a day." Colonel glanced out at the dogs but left it for now.
Konnoha pinned her ears and back to the fence. She snorted, not being able to kick the dog, she could do little more than stand there.

Path snorted and reared up his hooves coming back down just inches away from the dog.
"Fort life can get boring occasionally. So do you know if any of your commanders are going to visit any time soon?"Gwen asked pulling her hair back into a ponytail and securing it with a strip of soft leather she used as a hair tie.

The dog yelped and skittered backwards. His friends rapidly joined him and formed a loose circle around the horses, a few of them scattered at the men's calls. But the original dog got braver and tried to clamp his jaws on the stallions hooves.
Konoha bit at one of the dogs nearist her, sending it yelping. She side stepped, more like limped so that she was as close to Path and away from most of the dogs. "What do they want?" Her voice was shakey and she shivered slightly.
Colonel turned to Gwen, "I have no idea when they are coming, but at the earilest it won't be till late fall." He smiled at her but kept his eyes from wandering away to anywhere other than her face. "You have something special you want to do?" The barking had gotten louder but Colonel payed little attention to it.

Path roared rearing again. This time his hooves came in contact with one of the dogs.
"Hmm not really. One thing I miss, though, is dancing."Gwen said smiling.

Konoha stumbled over and bit at another before going back to his side. The splint was doing its job but the pain had started to flare back up.
The dogs retreated only after one lunged a final time and aimed at the stallions haunchs, jumping into the air with teeth barred.
"Dancing, now that's a new thing around here. I'm sure we can dig something up." Colonel scratched his chin thinking. Outside the sun was setting fast and turning the sky red, pink and even purple. "You eat yet?" The men more than likely were setting down to dinner or had already eaten.

"Nope I haven't eaten since lunch time."Gwen said brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes, again. She never could keep hair out of her eyes even when she had her hair up.
Path screamed rearing as the dog's teeth sunk into his skin. He tried vainly to throw the dog off.

The brown dog held on to the stallions haunches.
Konoha stumbled backwards before walking forward and biteing at the dog managed to get ahold of it's back. The creature squealed and dropped to the ground, leaving a bloody trail. She leveled her ears and neighed at the dog, bringing her head down and gaurding Path like a mare would her foal. The dog stayed for a while before running off. "Don't move." She returned to his side and nuzzled him before looking at the wound.
Colonel started to reply then stood up as the stallion screamed, "What the heck?" Seeing the dog attack he started toward the door, but the dog ran from the corall before her could even reach the door. "As I was saying we can get some dinner together, if you want. I just have to go see what damage has been done to that stallion." He held the door open for Gwen, "Comin'"

"Damn dog I wonder whose it is? Of course."Gwen said following Colonel. She whistled a command and her dog off after the brown one.
Path stood quivering. He nickered and nuzzled Konoha back.
Gwen's wolf dog, Kavik, tackled the brown dog pinning him growling. Kavik had been trained as kind of a guard dog for the horses. He also punished the ones that hurt the horses.

"Who ever claims it will have to keep him away from the horses from now on. I can't have the dogs attacking them." Colonel ran a hand through his hair and then placed his hat back on his head. He watched Kavik chase after the brown dog. He reached the gate and opened it swinging it closed behind Gwen. "You wan't to doctor the stallion or hold back the mare?"
Konoha stood by Path's side and, trembling slightly herself, started to clean the bite. She pinned her ears and warned the humans away, she let her instincts take over and would not easily let the humans approach Path.
The brown dog, nothing more than a three year old puppy, struggled against Kavik. He bit and growled trying to escape.

Kavik grabbed a hold of the dog's muzzle in the wolf way of showing who was boss. "Don't ever touch one of the horses again."he growled pressing down on the dog.
"I'll doctor him. Kavik will show that dog who is boss."Gwen said moving slowly towards Path.
Path snorted his eyes rolling in fear. He was not scared of Gwen, but he was scared of Colonel.((I have to go I'll be back on tomorrow.))

The dog yelped and whimpered. He tried to say, ok ok I won't but it came out to be nothing more than a mumbeling sentences.
"Alright, I'll keep the mare back." Colonel made his way to seperate the horses. He sweet talked to the horses. "I hope he does, if that dog ever attacks a horse again he'll be killed."
Konoha ignored Colonel seeing as he made little movment toward Path. She flattened her ears and neighed a warning to the woman. She tried to bite Colonel and then swung her head and reached to bite at Gwen, all the time keeping them away from the injury.
Colonel moved quickly when the mare's attention was on Gwen, he grabbed the halter and pulled the mare away. He was strong enough to keep the mare's head down and reletively in the same place. The task was made easier by the fact that the mare was injured.
Konoha neighed and stumbled backwards. She couldn't rear or side step or do anything to get away and she could no longer reach Path.

"You better not."Kavik growled. He scratched the dogs nose leaving a bloody gash and he also scratched the dogs chest. "Next time the punishment is death."he snarled letting the dog up.
"Easy there boy I ain't gonna hurt you."Gwen murmured moving closer to Path. She ran her hands gently along his sides as she moved to where she could doctor the injury.
Path snorted and tossed his head when Gwen touched him, but he did not rear. He did not have enough energy to do much anything.
"It's not that bad. I'll just put some salve on it."Gwen said pulling out a small jar from her jacket pocket. She opened it and let Path smell it before she put some on both the dog wounds and the cuts from the rope. "There that should speed up the healing and relieve the pain some. Now how 'bout some dinner?"she said putting the jar back in her pocket. She stepped back and turned towards Colonel.

Eclipse had said, "Well, thank you Path, and once we do get out of here, I'd love to join your herd. My name is Eclipse, by the way. Brook and Emma don't seem to share my want to get out of here; they just want to stay with the herd. I saw my mother taken by the men, and so I know they are just bad news."
She dozed off a little while after that, only to be awoken again by Path's roaring and the commotion with the dogs. She had tried to fight them off, but they were focused on Path and Kohona, and they were seperated by a fence, so there was little she could do.

The dog scampered off with his tail between his legs and ears flat against his skull.
Colonel let go of the Konoha's halter just as she threw up her head. "Good thing you know all these tricks. I haven't seen one of the men that could get all the horses to stand still like they do for you." He spoke the truth as the horses put up quite a fight against his men but would be just like tame horses when Gwen stepped up, well most of them. "I heard somthin' about deer stew." He turned and walked to the gate, holding it open for Gwen.
Konoha limped back to Path's side and nuzzled him. The dogs had shaken her up and mosre so the fact that the humans lived with creatures that seemed to be wolves but weren't. "You ok?"
