"Well that's the thing... They're coming, today. I heard them talking about it, and they said if they like how she turns out, they are bringing the stallion to our herd to produce more foals...." Shadow sighed once more, looking at Adelphie.
"Hey Rufus! How are you?" Layla replied.
Flip let out a strange whinny and Holly trotted to his side.
"Reporting to duty, Commander," he said, his British accent light and cheery.
"Do you know anything about the humans that are coming to take Shadow's foal? Is it your Master?" Flip's voice was stiff and anxious.
"Well, no! I haven't!" Holly seemed disturbed. "It isn't my Master. I've been with him enough to know he isn't planning anything." He licked his russet paw. "I'll ask the other dogs."
"Good, Captain Holly," Flip replied, but he was only mumbling and didn't seem to be paying attention.
"I'm well, Layla. And how are you this fine evening?"
"Flip... This is stressing me too, but... Well I've been thinking..." Shadow leaned in close. "I want to protect the herd! If I take Adelphie to the farms, they won't hurt the herd. They treat the horses well there, so I'd know she would grow up fine! I just... Have to..." She sighed, tears running down her cheeks. She turned to Adelphie. "Come little one..." She said, trotting away.
"I'm great!" Layla said happily.
