The ride to Town was short, but Ethan gave Piper his helmet and took the long way around, driving just fast enough for it to be fun for her. The pet adoption center wasn't far; they pulled up at the curb and Ethan turned the bike off and led the little Joker inside.

Puppies barked, kitties mewed and even a few birds chirped. The smiling attendant led them to the kennels where Ethan stood for a minute, looking over the little pups in their play-cages. Hm, decisions.
