Trapped in a Room Full of Puppies Meme


TRAPPED IN A ROOM FULL OF PUPPIES
This is pretty self-explanatory. Somehow, you and somebody else are trapped in a room full of puppies. There is no door. There are no windows. Just you, another person and about twenty or so rambunctious puppies.  You can do pretty much anything you want in the room, but remember that there are twenty or so rambunctious puppies who love licking you and jumping on you and treating you as a personal chew toy.  So yeah.  I'd recommend keeping your clothes on.

Bonus points will be given to people who specify what breed of puppy is in the room.  Super bonus points will be given to people who link to pictures of said breed of puppy.  Because c'mon you guys.  Puppies.

Really busy?

[ Really busy with what? She stares at Tramp blankly for a couple of seconds until it hits her. Oh, if only dogs could blush. But! She shakes it off and turns her attention towards the ridiculous amount of puppies scattered about the room. ]

No need to worry. Jock and Trusty offered to watch ours for the day. [ She smiles a little. Trusty was probably boring the children to death with his long drawn out and possibly fabricated tales of his grandfather. At least Jock was there to supervise. ]

And I was beginning to think that four puppies was a lot... [ She inhales deeply and then slowly releases a breath. ] How can we possibly keep track of all of them?

Four puppies are a lot to handle when they're our bunch, but we've managed. This group ....

[Looks around nervously at the endless sea of spotted puppies]

Uhhh, maybe we could start by herding them into smaller groups and try to get each group interested in some activity? I think I saw some dog toys in a box in the next room. [Winks at her] After this, I vow to dump our four on Pongo and Perdita while telling them to be as wild as possible.

That would be dreadfully cruel, but something tells me that they could handle our four very easily... with or without them acting wild.

[ She swallows hard against a lump in her throat, licks her lips, and then puffs out her chest. She could do this! Maternal instinct would kick in and...

...

Yeah, no. She doesn't even know where to start. But Tramp's idea seems to be as good as any. ]


I guess I'll start on this side and you can start on the other.

[ She pads off into the sea of puppies never to be heard from again and begins grouping them up. Thankfully most of them are relatively compliant. ]

[Tramp watches her march off bravely, smiling to himself as his heart fills with love for her once again (something that happens at least fifty times a day.) He takes a deep breath and bounds into the field of puppies.]

Allll right, kids, who's up for some fun?! Let's see how fast you can get yourselves into groups of no more than ten -- see, like the ones Auntie Lady is organizing over there!

[ My, my... what compliant puppies these are! Perdy must be mother of the year. However, if she can handle this lot on a daily basis, surely Lady can handle it for a few hours! With renewed determination, she eventually finishes organizing groups on her side of the room. ]

I'll go get some toys from the other room for you children and then we can decide what games to play.

[ And with that, she hurries off to do just that, carrying in a few toys at a time. ]

[Tramp's enthusiasm served to stir up his groups of puppies into running around laughing and being rowdy as they separated into their groups, but at least they got there.]

Hey, let me help you out there, Pidge! [He runs into the other room and drags the entire box in, then digs into it.] Okay, great! We've got a ball here -- you guys start with that! [Flips it into the furthest group] Next we've got some awesome chew toys -- your group can play keep away with one of these! [Chucks it in their direction.]

How're you doing over there, Pidge?

Thank you, Tramp. [ Because there's no way a little dog like me could lug that entire box of toys in here. ]

[ Lady took a bit of a calmer approach as she passes out the toys group by group until they all have something to do. After circling the groups on her side of the room and making sure every group still has ten and every puppy is engaged in some sort of game, she pads back over to Tramp to stand beside him, feeling accomplished. ]

Everyone seems to be happy. [ She smiles up at him, looking relieved. ] This was a good idea.

For now, at least! [nuzzles her ear] I figure when they get tired of the toys they've got, we can switch them around. If all else fails, I suppose we can go out in the yard and try a group game of tag or Red Rover or well, anything but hide and seek.
little_lady: <lj user=tmg_icons> (Jim dear is home!)

[personal profile] little_lady 2012-12-17 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ And she just shudders at the very mention of hide and seek. She's even hesitant to agree with taking them out in the yard--but at least it's a big yard with a sturdy fence. Still, it doesn't make her any less wary. ]

Well... hopefully they can play nicely in here for a while.

[ She sits down, nuzzles up against Tramp's side, and watches the puppies as they play in their little groups. ]

Sorry so short, about to go to work

[personal profile] topdog 2012-12-17 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
So far, so good, huh? I guess they must be used to playing nicely together, or their humans would never be able to keep them all.

We'll have to think about feeding them sooner or later. Pongo showed me one of the bone depositories, at least.
little_lady: (Curious...)

Sorry for the delay. XD Work and nightshift and crazyness.

[personal profile] little_lady 2012-12-18 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Bone depositories?

[ She looks up at him, her head curiously tilted to one side. ]
topdog: (tramp-sneaky)

No problem, I work full-time myself. Boo, fun-stealing work.

[personal profile] topdog 2012-12-18 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah! Pongo's got quite a hoard buried just beyond the garage -- in case of emergencies, you know. Heck, I've got one myself at home, although I think Scamp's gotten into it already. I may have to re-locate it.

Uh oh! [sits up quickly.] Looks like one of the little munchkins is trying to chew off his sister's ear in group four! Be right back! [Bounds over to break up the scuffle.]
