Furnado Animal Shelter; Sunday [12/05].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

As the weather was getting colder and Sidon knew, from many winters here on Fandom Island, it was only going to get colder still, his visits to the island had become more and more infrequent. Of course, he could make it back for his class, and other events such as that truly spectacular party on Friday, but his days of swimming about the island and sleeping under the docks were coming to an abrupt end, especially now that it was December, and the thought of having to go back to Hyrule full time was rather disheartening. Not that he didn't love his home, of course! He did immensely, but so often, he couldn't help feel that there was much for him there at this time....besides just being there...and waiting for the inevitable...

But then, almost as if struck by ligtning, although not actually, because such a strike would surely leave him dead on impact, Sidon considered where he'd spent so much time on this island as a student, a sort of second home, seeped in memories, and idea began to form.

After all, it had been a while (although, admittedly, much longer for him specifically) since the vet had had any solid help...such as an investor or, let's say, a manager!....at the location, and, well...

It was something to do that wasn't just being there and waiting for the inevitable...

...and the shelter had tanks.

Albeit, it was very clear to Sidon that he might have to do a little bit of remodeling and get something a bit...larger installed. He was already getting in some big plans and excitedly explaining them to the vet, whose doubtful expressions were completely lost on the excitable Zora....already covered in kittens who somehow managed to climb all the way to his shoulders, just like in the good old days!

Furnado is open!

[[ and guess who is officially in charge of the place now! YEAH! ]]

Dwight walked into the shelter, expecting to see Sakaki, possibly sitting on the floor attempting to play with the cats currently at the shelter that day. Who he saw instead was anyone but Sakaki.

"Well, long time no see Sidon" Dwight said with a grin as he looked up, and up, and up, at the Zora. "Haven't seen you since you were a might bit smaller" he said with a smirk, remembering that weekend fondly. "How have you been?"

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Significantly older!" Sidon answered with a bright laugh, especially since he knew that was particularly true for him; there was literally an entire human's lifetime worth of years between that tiny little hatchling and himself as he stood today! Then he grinned over at Dwight with practically every one of his sharp teeth. "So that was you on that thrilling adventure with me that day! Marvelous! I don't know about yourself, but allow me to inform you that my lizard-catching skills have improved considerably since!

"And how about yourself?" he then asked. "Is there anything in particular we can help you with today?"

And it was funny, really, how different that hit when he asked it, with the knowledge that he did, in fact, now own the place.

(Did that, he had to idly wonder, now officially also make Furnado Animal Shelter a part of Zora's Domain?)

"Aye, it was quite the adventure" Dwight said with a fond grin of his own. "One I won't soon be forgetting, though sadly the opportunities for lizard catching seem to be a bit lacking as of late."

"Actually there is something you can help me with" he added. "I need to pick up a few more supplies for the rambunctious pup that is currently finally asleep in his crate back at the apartment."

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Well!" declared Sidon with a hearty chuckle. "Should you ever feel the need again, I'm sure the ones here wouldn't mind a little jailbreak for the day to sate that particular appetite!"

Was Sidon suggesting they just release all the reptiles one day for the sheer joy of capturing them again?

Of course he was! It would be fun for the whole family!

"But in the meantime," he said, "we can certainly provide a wide array of assistance in that department! If there's one thing we're never short on around here, it's puppies and puppy supplies. Have anything in particular in mind? Or shall we just let you loose in the dog department to see what grabs you?"

Really, it wasn't a task that required too much help, Sidon imagined, unless something was needed from a very top shelf, but even then, Dwight would likely have that handled on his own as well! But with slightly more stretching that Sidon.

"If you have any recommendations for toys or something to keep a hyperactive pup entertained, even for a little while, it would be much appreciated."

Was the adorable pup currently sleeping in his crate hyper and playful and energetic? Yes, yes he was. Did Dwight know what he was getting into when he adopted said pup? Yes, yes he did and he had no regrets and would have it no other way. Did he need a little help to get a few more minutes of peace and quiet as the little fur ball continued to adjust to his new home and new routine? Most definitely yes!

"Well," Sidon admitted with a toothy grin, "I don't know exactly what we currently have in stock; I doubt the ink is even yet dry on the paperwork for the place yet! But! Let us then venture over, so that we may discover the wonderful world of options for fun and excitement that await your new furry friend!"

And, with that, and a mighty wave of his arm, Sidon began to jog his way toward the dog section, as eager, it would seem, as if he was such a canine himself!
