 Visit #5 The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
William walked in with the biggest grin on his face he had ever had as he looked around spotting Ziella sitting waiting for him to come in. She was so big now! Walking over to her he smiled, bending down to open her cage and allow her to walk around him a bit. "Hey girl, look at you!" he said bending down to kneel before her, petting her. Her fur was gorgeous now, a rich deep brown with a white stripe on her head. It was full and thick very healthy looking, which was good.
Standing up he put one finger out, dropping it down. Ziella sat down on her haunches, looking up at him expectantly. "Good girl!" He said proudly. Digging into his pocket he took out a treat and tossed it on the ground. "Ready for more training?" He asked, holding out the leash and attaching it to her collar. He walked her to the paddock and unleashed her, watching as she sat there waiting patiently. "Okay, today's lesson, this is an important one. And it's rather fun for both of us." He said grinning down at her and giving her a pet on the head. "It's really easy so I know you can do this. you're a smart pup." he said, putting his hand in his pocket and taking out a small blue ball. He held it out for her to sniff. She tilted her head at him, her nose inches from the ball and eyed him as she sniffed at it, yipping. "Okay, ready to try?" He asked, holding out the ball for her to see before tossing it to the other side of the paddock.
She tilted her head again at him as he said "Fetch." in a strong voice. Standing on four paws she yipped once more before running around the paddock in a full circle before returning to him. "No, not run around. Fetch the ball." he said in a condescending voice. She whine slightly before trudging off and picking the ball up in her mouth and bringing it back. He nodded, dropping a treat onto the ground saying. "Good girl. Now, let's try again and then you can run around for a good long time okay?" He threw the ball again, watching as her head turned in the direction and took off running full tilt towards it. She trotted back to him and kept it in her mouth. Which brought him to another training lesson he had read about. "Drop it." he said, pointing his finger down to the ground. She shook her head, eyes alight. "Ziella, drop it!" he said in a stronger voice, which made her growl slightly.
Shaking his head he knew she was playing around with him by the look in her eyes and the way her forked tail was waggling back and forth. He grinned shaking his head and walked towards her. She jumped back, a low bark emitting from her mouth as the ball soon became covered in slobber. He made a face and got down on two knees and crawled towards her, his eyes bright. She backed up, and took off towards the other end of the paddock. Luckily it looked like they were alone so he could chase after her around a bit, not only for her to get excersize but for him as well. He cornered her, his eyes playful as he gently lunged at her. She laid down, knowing what he was up to and yipped as his hands began petting her furiously. She yipped once more, and dropped the ball, her tail smacking the ground in delight.
He laughed as he picked the ball up, then tossed it again to the other side of the paddock. She took chase and skidded to a halt picking the ball up with her mouth before running back and dropping it. "Good girl now you're getting it!" he said happily, ruffling her fur up some. "Okay, enough for now you need food and water." he said leashing her up and bringing her back to the cage, where she crawled in and laid down, head in her paws. He got up, getting the food dishes before walking back and putting them in front of her, filling the water bowl and sitting down, taking out his journal. When she had finished eating he got up, closing the cage. "I got to go, exams are coming up you know." he said, reaching in and giving her a friendly pat before turning and walking out towards the door.
