Mittens cocked her head curiously. What is she talking about? thought Mittens, very confused about what Jackie just said. She shrugged slightly and looked back at Jackie. "Anyway," she said, trying to go back onto the topic they were talking about before Jackie started talking about the street. "I've never tasted mouse before. I was raised in this shelter since I was a kitten who hadn't opened it's eyes."
MacKenzie nodded, pushing a stray lock of hair that was dangling in her face back behind her ear. "What about the w-" She began, before Stephanie quickly moved on to other things. She shrugged to herself, turning around and walking to the front desk. She was going to go outside and double-check that the horses were getting their food. She walked out the door, and headed over to the stables, which were where the horse's food-bags and water troughs were. As she walked to the stables, she looked out to the pasture, where the horses were grazing contentedly, just as Stephanie had said. She entered the stable anyway, just to check that the horses had enough water in there. She entered and went over to the troughs, checking into them. One trough was half-filled, the other was practically empty. She picked up a bucket that was beside the troughs and brought it outside the stable, to the Shelter's Well, where they got fresh water for the Animals. She hooked the bucket up to the pulley, and began pulling the rope so that the bucket would go down. when she felt it grow heavy with water, she began to pull back up. She unhooked the bucket from the machine, and brought it inside the stable. She poured the water from the large bucket into each trough, so that they were filled with only a inch from the water's surface to the brim of the trough. Satisfied with her work, she began to walk around the stable, curious to see if any horses were in here.
