Kennels

Home to the Keep's twelve-odd golden retriever pups, and more often their master herself, the kennels are shabbily appointed but otherwise cleaner than one might expect.
A single room boasts only a small fireplace and a rough-hewn table and a bench stained from filleting countless carcasses for the dogs. More than half the room is taken up by small wooden pens, or large dog crates, where the pups themselves sleep of a night. Try as she might, the kennel mistress regularly fails to keep that room free of stray straw or dog hair. But it's a kennel, what do you expect?
The building opens out onto a small yard where the dogs are regularly left along to play, are watched as they exercise, or are trained to sniff out prey or fetch game.
