Description

    Sylviis bounded up to the two other tokota who stood next to the dock with their handlers getting ready for their new fishing trip. She was excited as always to see new fluffy friends and to go swimming even if the water was frigid.

    She recognized the merle pie half mane immediately, “Hello Rovaen!” The massive sphinx dire greeted happily wagging her short tail happily before turning to the silver natural maned took standing next to him. “Hello I don’t believe we’ve met before I’m Sylviis.”

    “Oh I’m Odell,” The silver took muttered quietly clearly a bit intimidated by the much larger tokos excitement.

    “Give the guy some air Syliis you re crowding the poor guy,” Rovaen teased at the massive sphinx.

    “Oh sorry,” Sylviis said immediately backing up,” I just get so excited to meet new tokotas. I forget how big I am.”

    “Its fine, “Odell mumbled looking around, “So are we going to fish or just stand around and talk all day?”

    “Oh right! Let’s fish!” Sylviis cheered happily turning to face the end of the long dock before getting an idea,” Guy’s lets race.”

    “I’m game,” Rovaen said turning towards the dock next to Sylviis.

    “Wait but you’re legs are way longer than ours,” Odell pointed out moving to her left.

    “Yah but you’re lighter than I am,” Sylviis countered cocking her head and grinning at him, “Don’t worry I’ll go slow so you don’t feel bad.”

    The silver toko instantly puffed out his chest. “As if I’d need you to slow down for me,” Odell countered seeming to loosen up a bit at the challenge from Sylviis.

    “Ok on my mark,” Sylviis said grinning widely, “One for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, And Four to GO!”

    The three tokotas instantly sprung forward blasting down the wooden planks towards the end of the long dock. Sylviis grinned madly bounding down along the dock happily. Instead the other two seemed to actually be taking the race quite seriously. Both male tokota where focused in on the end of the dock there stride long and gracefully as they propelled themselves swiftly down the dock.  Sylviis noticed herself falling behind as the boys raced each other down the dock she set her ears back and decided to actually try as she lengthened her slightly more lumbering stride.  Her stride shifting from a bouncy happy one to a sleek graceful movement.  Her massive paws rhythmically punding ginst the wooden boards. The wind whipped through her short dense fur as she quickly caught up two the other two tokotas as they neared the end of the dock.

    All three reached the end of the dock at the same moment instantly leaping from the edge into the water.  Sylviis grinned madly as she hit the frigid water instantly paddling down into the depths before resurfacing to take a deep breath before starting her hunt with the other two boys.

    The three handlers watched amused as there tokotas raced down the dock to the water before all three jumped in at the end sending up a huge splash as the three massive animals impacted the water at the same time. 

    “Dang there’s not go to be any fish after that,” Davin laughed glad the Odell seemed to loosen up some from his usual shy behavior.

    “There probably all in hiding wondering what the heck just happened,” Rovaen’s handler agreed smiling.

    “Either that or stunned from the shock wave,” Raejssa smirked watching as her sphinx dire toko reemerged before diving down to begin fishing.

    “Well we shall see there all good fishers so hopefully it goes well regardless that they just scared all the fish away,” Davin mussed walking down to the edge of the dock with the other two handlers to sit and wait for their tokos to finish up there fishing trip.

     

    Sylviis pulled herself up out of the water along the shore bank along with Rovaen and Odell. They had managed to catch quite a few fish despite scarring them off at the beginning but it was getting late and time to call it a day.

    Sylviis was about to shake the water out of her short coat when Odell stopped her grinning wickedly, “Don’t shake yet let’s wait till were next to our handlers.”

    Rovaen grinned his short half mane lying flat against his neck with water as Odell had rivulets of water falling off him from his thick fur.

    “Ok let’s go,” Sylviis grinned trotting to the unsuspecting handlers at the edge of the dock. Once they were there they got as close as they could before Odell barked out, “NOW!”

    All three tokos shook the fur out as hard as they could sending water everywhere. All three handlers instantly yelped as they were sprayed with water suddenly. Turning to look at the source of the water and yelling indistinctly at their three tokos. As they turned all three handlers managed to slide off the end of the dock without trying to due to their recoiling reaction to being sprayed. Scr4eaming as they hit the water. All three tokos instantly went to the edge of the dock to check on their handlers. Before diving in to retrieve them.

    In the end all three handlers were fine cold and soaked but fine as they all clambered onto their tokotas. Their respective fish in hand.

    “We should do this again sometime,” Davin called smiling brightly.

    “Agreed but next time we should probably keep a closer eye on these three,” Rovaen’s handler called. Waving as he let Rovaen start to head back towards their camp.

    “It was nice to see you again Sylviis,” called after him as her handler began turning her towards their home. “And very nice to meet you Odell Sylviis grinned waving her tail goodbye.

    “And you too,” Odell grinned as he too was turned in the direction of his home.

    Syviis smiled as she bounded towards home it had been a good and fun fishing trip with Rovaen and Odell and she had thoroughly enjoyed herself. Now she just had to figure out how to convince Raejssa to give her one of those fish!
