The first thing Jim will hear after he knocks on the door is an excited 'GROW, grow!' of barking. It only lasts a moment; Steve shushes Sarah and carefully opens the door for Jim.

"Sorry about that. I called a sitter for them but she's not here yet. Come on in, it won't take but a minute or so." The dog in question is a bright fiery orange with dark stripes running along her body and a floofy lighter colored muzzle and ruff on the back of her neck and tail. She gives the captain several excited sniffs when he steps inside, tail going a mile a minute as she sniffs out Steve's New Friend.

"Sarah!!" Steve shoots Jim an apologetic glance. "She gets excited over new people."
