Its a Dogs Life

"Have you decided on names yet?" Rose asked sitting down in front of the stall. She turned her head over her shoulder, "Bear come look at the newest members of the pack," Rose barked.
 
Getting shakily to his feet, he yawned, blinking groggily before trotting over, nails clicking as they rasped against the barn floor. Upon nearing the stall Kota tensed, wanting to growl but not able to put herself in a situation where she opposed an Alpha. Titan, however, was far more bold. He slid into the path of the leader, ears pivoting forward and snorting with contempt. He didn't approve nor condone Bear's actions on the previous day, and he wasn't the least bit hesitant to let him know.


Astounded, Bear stepped back, ears twitching as he leveled his gaze with the mongrel.
 
"Bear, they have reason to be a little nervous," she barked glancing at the bandage on her neck and her leg. "We both acted out of line and used old brutish instincts to settle an argument....If I had my own pups I would not want either of us around the," Rose finished stepping back. She nodded respectfully to Titan and Kota knowing that trust would grow with time, she was just sorry she had broken it.
 
Kota listened, and as she relaxed Titan backed down, watching the Alpha with a gaze that gripped at his innermost being. Titan was clearly pissed. However, he disregarded the Alphess completely, he didn't think she had the potential to harm the pups. "I have been meaning to name them..." sniffed Kota as she began to lick her litter fondly.


Bear grumbled, sitting down at the stall entrance beside Titan, feeling as if he were being scolded. That massive Akita had influence, he'd give him that.
 
Rose sighed knowing it would most likely take the pack longer to trust Bear than it would take for them to trust her. Could she blame them though? She was sure that the fight had been horrendous to watch. However Rose knew that she would need to start establishing her dominance a little bit more but for now that could wait.


(Do you want me to play some of the pups or can you handle more characters?)
 
(Sure! ^_^ There is a little boy, Cero, a little girl that hasn't been named, and another boy, Repo. I was thinking of RPing Repo. The other two go to anyone who wants them.)


Kota licked the three tiny bodies thoughtfully. She didn't mind Rose being present, but after seeing them tear into each other like that, she couldn't help but be weary. "So Rose, you going to have a litter?" asked Titan, raising a brow inquisitively, trying not to grin like an ass. He could smell that she was in heat, and he was more than sure that Bear was attracted to her.
 
Rose jumped at the word, "Uhhhh no," she barked blushing deeply. Wow, it was that obvious for a moment there she had forgotten about her status but of course somebody had to bring her back to reality. She took a peak at Bear beside her wondering what his reaction was.


(Cool I will take the little female puppy)
 
Kota angled her head questioningly to the side, blinking in question.


Bear hardly batted an eye. He sniffed, sighed, and cast a hazardous glance to Titan that clearly read Shut up.
 
Rose shook her head at Kota as if to say ignore them. Her eyes shimmered with memories of her old pups. They had all gone onto be fighters and who knew where they had ended up by now.
 
After a long day with Doc, Prinny awoke a bit more energetic than usual. Tail wagging, she dug at the bedding in her stall and practically tore it apart, only to nose it all back into place. Trotting around in it a few times, she nosed into the back corner of it, making a nice little hole. Leaving it there, she sat down next to it before curling around it. Dozing back off, her odd little quirk taken care of, Prinny sighed happily.


(Sorry for the absence D= I've been like, dull on what to do.)
 
(Its okay)


Doc trotted around the barn and noticed that everyone was standing around Kota's stall. He wandered over and was shocked by the scent wafting off of Rose he shook his head smiling goofily. He sat down beside Titan peeking into the stall and smiling at the puppies.
 
Kota nodded with a slight grin and looked to Doc questioningly. She'd never met him before. How strange. Musing, she looked to Bear and Titan. Everyone here was so strange...
 
"By the way my name is Doc," he barked nodding his chocolate brown head. Of course his head was not completely brown anymore. His muzzle and most of the front of his face was covered in gray and white. The gray and white hairs were sprinkled through the rest of his coat.
 
Kota acknowledged the aged mongrel with a light nod, ears twitching as she wondered what she would look like in old age. The greying furs on his face bewildered her. How old was he?
 
The female was giving him the classic 'how old are you?' look. With a smile he barked, "Don't worry hounds age badly. When you twelve you won't look half as wrinkly and grey."
 
"Twelve?!" she echoed, rather stunned. She'd never met a dog quite that old that wasn't bed-ridden and ill. Just then one of the males bit down on a tit and she cringed, turning and licking at her stomach.
 
Gwyn walked into the barn and saw all of the dogs crowded around Kota's stall. "Okay party's over every back off," she said laughing. Trying to make her way through the maze of dogs was practically impossible. "I need to see the new mom," she said pulling out a few ribbons to tie around the puppies necks.


(the puppies are akitas right?)
 
(Akita-beagles. Can look like either or a mix.)


Kota looked up as Gwyn entered and slid protectively over her pups, watching the woman with distrust. She'd never been at ease with people since she was dumped by her original family.
 
"I know, I know you have to be a good mom but I just need to look over the puppies," Gwyn said sitting down in front of the stall. She would wait until the momma was ready to let her check the pups over.
 
Kota hardly shifted, more than aggressive and now seeing no reason to back off. Titan was on his feet in a flash, sliding into the stall and nudging Kota reassuringly, as if to tell her 'everything would be alright.' Sighing, Kota settled back on her haunches, still looming protectively.
 
Gwyn smiled and balled her hand into a fist offering it slowly to Kota. She held it lower than the dogs head and a foot away from her nose show that she was not pressuring the dog into anything.
 
Kota's nostrils flared as she inhaled from the distance, in no rush to greet the woman. Gradually she grew comfortable, taking a step forward and curiously wagging her tail. Nosing the peculiar appendage, she then stepped back, eyeing her for a response.
 
Gwyn smiled and uncurled her hand laying it in front of the pups. She inched it forward slowly brushing her fingers across the pups soft coats. They all looked healthy but the only way to tell would be to pick each one up and inspect it.
 
Kota growled lowly, stepping off to the side, teeth bared and ready to strike. She didn't like that the woman was trying to touch her pups.
 
Gwyn kept her hand their murmuring softly to Kota. She would wait until the female was ready no matter how long that would take. Her eyes wandered a little and she noticed a few patches of blood. Nothing big and the shavings were already starting to soak it up. It was most likely coming from another dog because it was outside the stall.


Rose trotted away from Gwyn her tail hanging close to her body. She slipped through the doggy door and out into the dog run.
