"I wanted to make sure all thr interest in Louie was coming from us." Johnny smirked extremely please with the explanation for the surprise. They all followed Cindy to the room and then out into an outdoor fenced in yard, It was fairly large with a well trimmed amount of grass, flat, and empty save for water bowls, an area with a shade sale and bench beneath that. When Cindy returned with the slim nervous dog Johnny released Steph and leaned up against the fence so his two lovers could meet the dog.<br/><br/>Louis had walked close to Cindy's legs but once inside the fenced area he danced a little nervously, head down a little and tail tucked. Cindy brought him close and when Steph knelt she got his attention, when Loki knelt as well Louis decided to investigate Steph his head raising a bit. At this sign of interest Cindy unclipped the leash from his collar so he could move about freely.  At Steph's giggle Louis wagged his tail quickly and gave her hand a little lick before turning to watch Loki's hand. After Loki did his thing Louis seemed to relax a little more, his tail not so tightly tucked and his head raised up a bit more.  Louis then walked in a lopey relaxed fashion over to Loki to snuffle at him, seeming to show more interest in Loki's belly area, before turning back towards Steph snuffling at her face now.<br/><br/>Cindy walked over to Johnny and simply passed him a water float sort of toy and winked. Johnny smiled widely as he took it before taking. a few steps away from the fence. "Louis! Hey boy! See what I've got?" Johnny called instantly getting the dogs full attention with hos favorite toy in his hands. His head and ears instantly at full attention tail high and happy wagging now. Johnny laughed when Louis dropped to his chest and waggled his butt excitedly. Johnny then tossed the toy across the yard and watched as Louis bunched himself like a tight coiled spring before turning on his feet and springing after the toy. Bounding in large leaps happily snatching the toy up and running around everyone in circles before bringing the toy with him back over to Steph and Loki, tail wagging, eyes bright and ears perked Clearly happy.
