Might not be a bad idea if you have books available that could get puppy, train puppy (obedience/both tracking levels) or get kitchens.

The more people able to hunt merely kats the better. Right now it seems there are 4 of us who can, and that could take awhile. lol.

[Rebecca]

Ok I'm look through my shortest books...has anyone read ? If so do you know if it fits any of these categories?

• Read a book with a glove on the cover.
• Read a book with a food item edible by dogs (thats not poisonous to dogs).
• Read a book with someone who is lost.
• Read a book with someone who finds their way.
• Read a book where someone uses a search and rescue dog.
• Read a book with a green cover.

I read it a while ago, so it's a bit fuzzy, but if you could interpret discovering who you are and finding your life path as finding your way, I think it could fit there.

[Morgan]

lol that's what I was thinking too Shanna_redwind. But I was remembering a mini-series from TV that I feel like was a long way back. XD

I would use it for finding your way for sure.

[Rebecca]

Awesome thanks!

Any ideas for Search and Rescue dog books? Or have one they want to sell?

[Rebecca]

And is this a green enough cover? (sorry for all the questions)

[Morgan]

I'd say that was green enough to be green. It's the main color I see looking at it.

As for search and rescue dogs that was my hardest to find and I think it was Kelly who recced one that was quick/entertaining: Rescue My Heart

My library had the audio so that made it even better. haha.

[Reva]

Doesn't Eve Duncan use cadaver / rescue dogs? Excellent Series by Iris Johansen

[Reva]

I need to hear from more than one person if I am going to the work of setting up the market for what people are looking for.

[Rebecca]

Reva - I'd looking for any books that fit my tracking (specifically:
• Read a book where someone uses a search and rescue dog.
• Read a book with a glove on the cover.
• Read a book with a food item edible by dogs (thats not poisonous to dogs).

If you don't have any books for those, you don't have to open up your market for me.

I'd probably buy a few things, but I could only afford a couple. I'm pretty broke at the moment after buying my cat and I don't have much by the way of potions or tokens.


I'd be looking for
Beginner Obedience: • Teach Sit - Read a book with a chair on the cover.

everything in Tracking level 1 (
TRACK Spell it out) and a prey animal on the cover.

Also tracking level 2, but at this point, I need to get the dog, obedience and train level 1 first.

[Morgan]

Just finished: After the Woods if anyone needs it to get their puppy trained in tracking!

It fits the following:
- Basic Obedience (Stay, Come, Heel)
- Basic Tracking ["A" (title) "K" (author name)]
- Intermediate Tracking (Someone Lost, Someone Finds their Way, and Green Cover).

I also have bat wings/goblin bones if needed. :)

[Reva]

Ok guys I've got lots of stuff. Give me an hour. I decimated a lot for the Event and the Classifieds.

I'll open page 6 for items now.

I'm reading the one before it now, so it's next up, but I will have Deadly Forecast in a couple days if you don't find a chair book before then.

[Reva]

Ok folks. My market is open. See pages 6,7,8, & 9

Treat it like a treasure hunt because many books have plenty of KITCHEN & PUPPY stuff but due to previous lack of interest, I haven't organized by those categories. ATTACK, TRACK, FETCH COMBAT AND OBEDIENCE gems can also be found.

Due to lack of room I have other books available.

Need something specific. Refer to the code on page 6. It makes it easier to find in my, yet to be claimed, Scrounger and Essential Oil books. (I suppose sometime I'll complete and claim it LOL)

JUST ASK

I'm just looking for swapsies book-wise or whatever they can offer, or hit me back later, lol, trying to fill gaps people need. Not meaning to step on toes. You always have a bunch of extras, so I'm sure they'll be able to find what they need easily and a lot more organized.

The link should take you to the top of the first page which is where she posts.

Thanks Morgan. I'll be out of tradables soon, so if you're willing to swap books, I'll come back with some other things I need. Hopefully we can both get a few things we need out of it.

[Shanna_redwind]

Morgan, if you are willing to trade After the Woods and Deadly Forcast, that would be lovely. If you want to look at my Tote for the books you'd like, go ahead. I've marked the ones that are destined for something.

[Shanna_redwind]

I wandered into the bar, looking for a drink and a friendly ear. I just got my new dog, and I wanted to talk to someone about him. I found a friendly looking group and settled down with a mulled wine to tell them about my new pet.
********

With the sighting of the Great White Dragon, my time to leisurely shop for a dog was over. We needed everyone that we could hunting for those Merely Kats, and there weren't very many trained dogs about. It was my turn to get a dog and get through the training as quickly as possible.

I stepped into the shop with everything ready, though I was shamed to admit I'd had to purchase a couple of the necessary items.

Right next to the door, there was a cage with a dog in it. Stuck to the front of the cage was a sign that read, "My name is Cooper and I've been here for long enough. I'm on sale for a special rate."

I glanced down the room at the other cages, and could see that all of the other available dogs cost much more. I knelt down in front of the cage, and a sleek tan and white shape moved forward, tail wagging in a friendly manner.

The shopkeeper, seeing my interest hurried over. "That's a fine dog he is. Why don't we get him out for you to have a better look?" Quickly he pulled the door open and invited the dog out. He came out of the cage, tail wagging furiously.

"Friendly," I commented.

"He is that," the shopkeeper replied. "And he has the makings of a good hunter. In fact he's best in wide open areas." After letting the dog sniff me and then look around for a couple of minutes, he asked, "So what do you think?"

He seemed to be in an awful hurry for me to take the animal, and that made me rather suspicious, so I asked, "Does he have any bad habits?"

The shopkeeper shook his head. "Nothing, really. Nothing that every puppy doesn't have. I've been working with him, and he learns quickly and behaves well. If behaviour or health is a problem in the first two weeks, I can offer a money back guarantee.

Well, that seemed reasonable, and despite the shopkeeper's badly hidden haste to get the dog gone, he was the only one I could afford. So we completed the transaction, and I had my dog.

When I stopped to look at a display, the shopkeeper held the door open. "You'll want to hurry along and get Cooper settled in at your lodgings." With a curious backward glance at him, I allowed the shopkeeper to hurry me out.

Only a few feet from the shop, the rank smell of a swamp assaulted my nose and I almost gagged at its intensity. I wondered if the sewers were backed up, but I was soon distracted from the now fading smell by the eager animal that danced along beside me on the lead. He would dash to my left, eagerly sniffing at a pot left by the side of the road, then almost tripping me, dash to the right and sniff at a clump of grass. He seemed an absolutely delightful animal.

When I was almost back to the boarding house, the same stench almost closed my throat. I moved quickly away from a nearby sewer opening, thinking that we would have to complain about the condition of the sewers. It seemed odd though, that I'd smelled nothing on my way to get my new companion.

Finally back, I set a bowl of food and water down for Cooper who, after making a through examination of his surroundings, gobbled the food down, had a long drink of water, and flopped down to sleep with the intensity that only puppies have.

I had just settled down to my own meal of bread and meat, when suddenly I couldn't breath. The aroma in the room was the same as what I'd smelled outside, but inside the intensity was so strong that my eyes watered. I quickly swallowed the mouthful of food, then almost heaved it back up again as I dashed for my window. I swear I could see tendrils of noxious green gas hanging in the room. After sticking my head out the window and desperately gasping for fresh air, I took a deep breath, pulled my head back in and glared at the innocently sleeping puppy. "Ye gods, animal. No wonder he wanted you out of there."

[Alyssa]

That is fantastic xD

Kelly - Would this work for "tree on a cover"?

Bahahah! Your poor puppy....and your poor nose!

Alyssa wrote: "Kelly - Would this work for "tree on a cover"?"

Yup. I think that's enough trees even if they're very very tiny trees.

[Daphne]

That was an absolute pleasure to read Shanna! Thank you so much for sharing your puppy acquisition adventure.

[Cat]

hee heee heee! love it Shanna :)

You hoping that your pungent puppy pal will flush out the Merely Kats with his stunning aroma?! pre-stunned too, maybe, for an easier fight?! ;-P

[Alyssa]

Thanks!

Yeah no problem. I can almost always find a place for SOMETHING. :)


After the Woods [5/16]

&

Deadly Forecast [pending completion today/tomorrow]

to swap for:

Aftermath

&

Endgame?

Let me know if that works for you, and I'll let you know as soon as Deadly Forecast is done. (Just started it when I got home.)

[Shanna_redwind]

Morgan wrote: "Yeah no problem. I can almost always find a place for SOMETHING. :)"

That sound great. Lets move it over to the open Market. I'll claim them on my free transactions.


Thanks everyone, the story was fun to write. And not a complete fiction.

[Alex]

Realistically I'm quite a long way from a kitchen and trained puppy, but when I've got some time I'll have a proper look at what books I have available to help out.

[Reva]

Great story Shanna. Keep Cooper away from the cheese. ;-))

[Alyssa]

What creatures have 'minor hiding' versus 'hiding'? This isn't very clear to me..

[Morgan]

Alyssa wrote: "What creatures have 'minor hiding' versus 'hiding'? This isn't very clear to me.."

I think the Woolymarks are the ones with minor hiding (as of right now) and the Merely Kats are the ones with hiding.

I don't remember seeing others, but I might be missing. I grabbed things off the monsters thread when I was reorganizing, but I've personally deleted description stuff if I've slaughtered that monster. lol. Those are the two I remember though, but it just says it like that on the description if I am remembering correctly -- 'hiding' or 'minor hiding'.

[Teresa]

Minor hiding needs beginning tracking, hiding needs intermediate

[Alyssa]

Okay that makes sense- the kats say "hidden" and I couldn't remember if there was a monster that had said minor hiding so I didn't get what the difference was. I mean I know one goes w beginner training and one is intermediate I just hadn't noticed anything labeled as minor hidden before.

[Cathy M.]

Hahaha that was great Shanna!

[Zuzana]

I loved your puppy story, Shanna. Great job!

[Kay Kay]

I'm guessing that if we use books for the great white dragon we can't use them for anything else. Is that right?

Yup, that's correct.

Well, you ARE getting exp pts., tokens and gold. Not a bad deal. ;-)

Mind you, the recruitments pay 1 gold per book -- Midas quests pay 2.5 gold per book. Giving up those Kat pelts sure hurts.

Remember to hire twins for double pelts!!

I suppose it's for the co-operative good.

[Kay Kay]

Well, Ok then. Off to read!

[Reva]

Are we going to get the latest scrounger list, please? If I have to read to repair the tatters of my current list, I might as well be working the new one too.

[Zuzana]

Can somebody explain to me "Read a book with a food item edible by dogs (thats not poisonous to dogs)", please.

Does it mean anywhere in the text? It doesn't say on the cover. Also, in my book "food not poisonous for dogs" is anything edible other than chocolate, potatoes, alcohol etc : http://www.caninejournal.com/foods-no.... Right?

[Zuzana]

Kelly, for Read a book where someone uses a search and rescue dog would you accept a book with a retired search-and-rescue dog where there is talk about searching and rescuing done in the past?

I figure dogs will eat just about anything. Hamburger, beef, chicken, steak, ham, bacon. Cheese won't hurt but they pass gas. So if your characters are eating most likely they'll have something a dog can eat.

[Zuzana]

Thanks, Reva.

[Rebecca]

Ok so I'll have both tracking by the end of the day. Buttt I don't have any heal potions, so I'll have to either read 5 books or kill another pain giant next Wednesday for a potion token.

At this rate I will kill my first Merely Kat on 5/18/16 (and using the twins I'll have 2 pelts).

I have to make my attacks Wednesdays, so I can use all the small animal attacks (Weekly) to increase my HP.

I have an egg good til Saturday if you want it -- on the house since you're such a good customer. I'll also have another on Sunday that you could have if you need it. I usually have more healing than I can use on Sundays.
