	It has been earned. [The pup steps forward, dropping the cylinder, and a scroll tied with blue ribbon falls into his hand. It is sealed with the King's seal, and once unrolled, will read: To Toboe, named here Poppy, of the unit Canis, Your tenure here is drawing to a close. Please make such arrangements as you see fit before your time comes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
