Drops the ropes and shakes off the blankets by the edge of the bayou... smiles at Killer and shakes her head...
"You never give up do you, Killer? Just gotta get that one last dig in, huh?"
Looks out at the water and sees that Charlie has gotten loose from the straitjacket...
"Yeah, okay, we'll help SunFlash first."

SunFlash saw Hedge and Killer, and barked "Over here guys". She held her head high, and opened her mouth because she couldn't grab on with her forepaws

Killer shrugs with a light chuckle and snatches up one of the ropes, making a lasso of it and spinning it above his head.
"Well, I reckon we better git these lil' doggies--or at least one of 'em--outta this here bayou b'fore she swallers anymore of that there dirty water. Hang on there, lil' lady!" he mimics a western drawl, still spinning the rope. Unfortunately, he somehow manages to entangle himself.
"Hey pardner?" he speaks to Hedge, "Ya reckon ya could gimme a lil' hand here?"

Still where she used to be, with her claws still dug in. SunFlash sighed "Oh brother, what now?"

Hedge rolls her eyes and sighs at Killer... "I don't think SunFlash really appreciates your jokes right now, Killer..." her voice is low with a hint of exasperation as she begins untangling Killer from himself... then, taking the rope from Killer's paws, she whips it back then flicks it forward so that it lands right in front of SunFlash... "Can you grab it now, SunFlash?"

SunFlash nodds, and looks back at Hedge "Ya, I think I can". She streaches her neck out, and grabs the rope in her mouth tightly, not wanting it to slip between her jaws.

Killer is quick to grab the slack behind Hedge to help her pull SunFlash in and he speaks as he strains against the rope.
"I never was very good with ropes," he tells Hedge, "I even managed to get knotted up in rope toys when I was a pup!"

"You had rope toys as a pup? How'd you manage that? I thought you never had a human?"
Puts her mind back on helping SunFlash get on dry land... "Come on SunFlash, don't let go... you don't have far to go now..."
It's hard to judge just how deep the water really is, because it is so churned up and muddy... The fleeting thought of alligators and water snakes comes to Hedge's mind, but she swiftly shoves it away... "Come on SunFlash... way to go..."

SunFlash continued to hold on. She barked out in a muffled voice "Probobly the best option IS to hold on". Her paws moved away from the ground, and started to dog-paddle powerfully towards shore

Still clenching the rope, he digs his paws in and pulls back hard, keeping his length of rope tense although his paws slip a bit in the mud along the bank.
"Well, no, I didn't have humans," he admits, "But I had to improvise. They weren't real rope toys...more like just scraps of boat rope I just played with--stuff I found in the trash, y'know."
Surprisingly, his back hasn't given out on him and he prays a silent prayer of thanks for that fact and continues helping Hedge pull SunFlash to shore.
"Keep comin' SunFlash," his voice is strained as he struggles to keep his grip, "You can make it!"

SunFlash continued to swim, and in momments, her paws were on shore. She climbed out, looking part border collie, and part drowned rat. She quickly shook herself off, now looking part pomeranian without a curled tail

Killer releases the rope and flexes the digits in his forepaws, wincing slightly as they had stiffened from his tense grip a few moments before, then he drags one of the blankets Hedge had brought over to SunFlash.
"Here ya go," he lightly drapes it over her shoulders, "You okay?"

Actually, Dachshunds are suppose to be the worst swimmers you can actually find BIC- SunFlash grabbed the towel, and looked at her reflection in the river, seeing the poofyness. Quickly, she backed off from it, and dried herself with the towel "Ya, just a little cut from a rock, nothing serious" she grabbed her bandana, and wrapped it around one of her legs

OOC: Welcome back Itchy! ;D
BIC: "Hang on Itch," Charlie barks quickly, tying one sleeve of the staightjacket to the log and the other sleeve around his waist. He then jumps out and manages to grab his pal by the tail. "I've got you," he sputters around a mouthful of water, drawing Itchy in, then struggling to climb toward shore on the slimy log. "Let's get out of here once and for all!"
