Its a Dogs Life

"Erm, eh, yeah..." he scoffed, pawing at his nose.


Phoenix grumbled, nosing Rose and whining, "Really? That sucks?!"
 
"If we are lucky Matt will let us out tomorrow but that is only if Gwyn steps in," Rose barked her ears swiveling as she heard the door click. It was Gwyn walking in car keys tinkling softly in her pocket. The woman slipped into the feed room after Matt.


"You need to let Rose and Bear out tomorrow and I think you should leave the stall's open tonight," Gwyn said placing her hands firmly on her hips. Matt looked up an arguement bubbling on his lips but she cut him off. "If you don't the pack dynamic is going to be further screwed up and their will be another fight... End of discussion," Gwyn finished firmly. SHe was admant that some dogs needed to live freely and without the pampering touch of humans. Matt shook his head knowing there was no way to get around it.
 
Bear listened unintentionally, and silently his preference for Gwyn grew. It was true, he didn't need to be pampered. He was self-sufficient.
 
"Is Gwyn in there giving her speech about not pampering dogs again?" Rose asked noticing Bear's interest in the conversation. It had never worked before but when Gwyn put her mind to something it usually happened. The two humans walked out of feed room placing the food dishes into the appropriate stalls.
 
"Mhmmm," he mused with satisfaction, tail wagging sheepishly as he sighed and closed his eyes.


"Is what happened?" Inquired Phoenix, brows scrunched as he loathed being left out almost as much as he hated having Bear as an Alpha.
 
(What is Phoenix asking?)


Rose watched the handlers out of the corner of her eye begging them to leave. Despite trusting Matt and Gwyn they still made her jumpy.
 
(Phoenix is rambling because he doesn't know what's going on. Ignore him if you want, Bear already does. xD )


Bear snorted, still bitter about having to stay inside presently. He snuffed the bedding, murmuring vaguely before rolling over onto his back, pawing up lazily at Rose' maw. His face seemed to scream "I'M BORED MAKE ME A SANDWICH, WOMAN!" Coincidentally, Phoenix felt like giving him a knuckle-sandwich.
 
Rose looked quizzically at Phoenix cocking her head. Jumping a little Rose was suprised by the gentle pawing at her maw. "What has gotten into you, is somebody getting a little bored?" she asked suddenly feeling flirty. She leaned down closer to Bear's face breathing softly. Her nose twitched a little as his whisker touched her small black nose. Something in her was telling Rose to back off but another part of her body was over-riding that thought.
 
Bear blinked, dipped-pink tongue rasping across her chin.


Phoenix barely held down a savage snarl, fur bristling at the alpha and lips curling aggressively to expose his wickedly-shaped yellow teeth.
 
Rose jumped back at the sound of Phoenix growling. Her body burnedin embarrassment and then annoyance, Phoenix ha no right to tell her what to do.
 
Bear glanced over at Phoenix, a bit surprised by the outburst. Should he silence him? Clearly he upset Rose. Should he deal with it?


Phoenix, still furious, watched, eyes narrowed at Bear and looking to Rose with shock. How could she let him do that? He was a savage! He had attacked her only a day ago!
 
Rose shook her head, realizing how it must look to Phoenix. He was a young male who probably did not even know what a female in heat smelled or acted like. Making a further arguement for Rose to restrain herself a little more, she had barely known Bear a day and the first day she was fighting him. On the other paw it was common in most packs for the Alphas to become mates but Rose was not even sure if she felt that way about Bear considering she knew nothing when she was pumped up on hormones like this.
 
Bear pondered for a while longer, lips twisted into a disapproving frown at Nix. He grumbled, slowly rising to his feet and approaching Phoenix lazily.


Phoenix cringed, watching the brute and trying his best not to flinch under the weight of his gaze. A challenging growl marred his lips and his tail curved with authority. He didn't like being pushed around, but he'd just made a gargantuan mistake to rival Bear's authority...
 
"Let it go," Rose barked softly but forcefully. "I was acting a little out of line but I do not want another fight," she finished eyeing the males.
 
Bear snorted, reclining on his flank and tilting his head up and to the side, smirking as he looked down at Phoenix.


Phoenix grumbled, feeling embarrassed and slinking back. "I'll catch you later, Rose," he barked before turning and walking off, probably outside.
 
Rose sighed, she could never win no matter what her decision. "Please don't look so happy, I like Phoenix he is a kind friend and a good leader. He makes up for your harsh attitude, he would make a good beta," she finished looking away from Phoenix and up at Bear.
 
He sighed, resting his head on his paws and inching towards her, unable to be mad or resentful with her aroma lingering to powerfully.
 
Matt walked to the barn door whistling for the dogs to come in.Rose smiled, "Bear I need to go talk to Phoenix. He does not know that we have forgiven each other for the fight but than you need to talk to him, an apology might help," she barked crouching down so that het nose was less than an inch from his.
 
He grumbled, wanting to argue but remaining silent due to his hormonal overdrive. He nodded sobered of aggression, licked her chin, then grumpily rested his head on the ground.


Phoenix was on the far side of the barn, watching Matt with untrusting eyes and whining to go outside.
 
Matt sighed and peeked over shoulder, Rose and Bear were occupied. He opened the door quickly, releasing Phoenix.


Rose smiled softly, "Thanks," she whispered nosing him.
 
Phoenix trotted outside, husky coat absorbing the day's heat to the point of unfathomable discomfort. He shook and panted but to no avail could not escape the swelter. He dived into the shade of a trees, laying sprawled out on the grass in the torrid shadows.


Bear shifted awkwardly.


Titan had just woken from his post in front of Kota's stall, standing up slowly and stretching, body trembling at the pull of his muscles.


Kota woke as well, yawning and nosing her whimpering newborns.
 
Rose turned around as she heard the rustling of the straw flooring. "Morning Titan," she barked softly taking a few steps toward him cautiously. She could smell the new pups and she smiled wondering if Kota would let her look at them.
 
"Morning, miss," huffed the massive Akita in return, shaking out his fur and looking to Kota, who was groggily surveying the Alpha. With a goofy grin, she licked an unnamed pup, flinching as another began to suckle.
 
"They're doing lovely," she whispered in their place as they whined and shifted at her stomach. Titan sat against the stall door, sighing and contorting his body to scratch at an ear.
