Its a Dogs Life

Smiling faintly, Prinny stayed next to him as she set her head down on her crossed paws. She knew they'd both have to go to their own stalls soon, but it was nice for the time being.
 
(I guess we have to wait for her to post...)


--- Merged Double Post ---


Titan lazed on the lawn as the sun went down, tongue protruding from his jaws as he panted rhythmically. His large black eyes were closed and he felt quite relaxed, but nevertheless, sad. Bear, a massive American-Akita, was hovering nearby, sitting on his haunches and surveying his new environment. It was so different from the city... no concrete... just grass and trees. Snorting, he glanced nonchalantly at Titan, growling lowly, "What's up with you?" Titan hardly paid him mind, only shrugging with indifference.
 
(I'm here now! XP)


Shiloh whimpered as tons of barking noises and whistling noises filled his ears. Since beagles are hunting dogs, they have high pitched sense of hearing, so tons of noises can hurt thier ears. Rose barked at him and he barked back. "Rose! Help me! I"m scared!" He yelped, trying to lick his tail. THe pup fell over and started to cry even harder. "OWWWWWW!" He howled.
 
"Are you okay?" Rascal asked the other puppy. He wasn't to scared, but wanted to get out of there. He looked around, to see if anyone was there.
 
Phoenix bounded over to the youths, scooping Shiloh into his jaws and looking to Rose to do the same with the other one. Finding it relatively easy to support the additional weight, the only thing that was bothering him was the shrill sounds being emitted by the pup. "Hush, will ya?" he growled, nostrils flared to located the scent trail they'd left on the way here so that he had a route to follow which would take them to the barn.
 
(the whistle is supposed to be like a person whistling it should not hurt the dogs ears but we will have Gwyn and Matt tweek it when we get back :)


Rose scooped the puppy named Rascal up into her jaws and began bounding back towards the barn. The feel of the pup in her mouth reminded her of the few days she had had with her own pups.


Gwyn and Matt waited outside of the barn for the dogs and as they shot out of the woods they smiled. The handlers waited until of the dogs were inside the barn before shutting the door. "Supper time," Gwyn said as she headed into the feed room. Matt stayed in the barn and began looking at the dogs collars. Something had jumbled the circuits causing the whistle to be much to high. He tweaked the collar and than tested each one. The whistle was low enough that it would not cause the dogs pain.


"Sorry guys, that must have been unpleasant," he said clipping the collars back onto the dogs.
 
Phoenix placed the pup inside the barn, scampering into its center and into his stall as to avoid the others. Titan yawned, bearing his massive teeth absently as he stretched and stumbled into the open, looking lazily about. Bear, on the other hand, growled viciously and slobbered, looking about and seeing only puppies, females, and elders. He saw no opposition other than Titan, who was totally oblivious to the fact that Bear was so assertive.
 
Rose watched as the two handlers set their food bowls down in the stalls. Oddly enough they did not shut the doors to the stalls. The handlers whispered for a moment before leaving for the night. Rose finished her food quickly and walked out of her stall head and tail held high. Tonight was the night she would talk about watching the pups and respecting the elders. She noticed a few new males and nodded to them as she jumped onto the highed haybale. She laid down and waited for the other dogs to finish eating.


Matt looked around nervousily," Gwyn are you sure we should leave the dogs out tonight?" he asked worried looks streaking across his face. GWyn just nodded and set down the last food bowl.


"They are fine, lets go," she said walking out of the barn.


Doc noticed that they were setting out the food, "I guess I better go eat... I think I will talk to that Rose dog about the puppies. She seems to be in charge and maybe she will find somebody to watch them so they dont disrupt our rabbit watching," he barked limping to his stall.

Phoenix pushed his bowl around his stall for a bit, snuffing and prodding the kibbles until he grew bored and peered out towards Rose as she leaped onto the pedestal. "What's this?" he whined softly, pawing at the floor before slinking over, ears drawn to a curious perk.


Titan hardly moved at all, rolling to adjust his view slightly enough to catch a glimpse of the female, murmuring under his breath about her assumed role as Alpha and then only devoting half a mind to what she had to say.


Kota was still laying in her stall, curled up, swelled-abdomen rippling as she would shortly go into labor. Panting heavily, she was scared, but knowing that the labor in itself would be prolonged she silent began giving herself a pep-talk, unaware of what was going on.


Bear let out a booming snarl of opposition, pacing back and forth, occasionally glowering at Rose with the intent to strike but being interrupted by the shifting mass of Phoenix.


Phoenix was nervously awaiting what Rose had to say, tail wagging every now and again as he whimpered with impatience.


Bear snorted, rounding his way towards Phoenix, lips curled back and exposing his teeth, glistening strands of salivating coating the yellowed-fangs. Phoenix, totally unaware, kept staring up at Rose, jaws ajar in a doggish smile. With a rumbling growl of warning, Bear snapped at Nix's face, spraying him with a fine mist of bodily fluid before the mutt had any clue of the male's presence. Upon being snapped at, Phoenix was on his feet, scrambling back to the far-wall and releasing a series of high-pitched snarls. Bear lunged at him, and in a few brief moments, the two were wrestling across the ground, smacking jowls and attempting to get at one-another's throat. Mid-way through, Phoenix was under Bear, legs extended against the Akita's chest and pushing him away, practically livid as he honestly didn't want to squabble with Bear.
 
Gwyn and Matt had just gotten home when they saw the screen. Two dogs were already fighting and he could tell one of the females was going itno labor. "Crap," Matt yelled looking around for the car keys.


Rose snarled as the dogs broke out in a fight. She barked sharply at the dogs fighting. She realized that was not going to stop them. As they rolled closer to her she lept onto the larger one's back. She latched onto the scruff of his neck using the force of her leap to drag him down.
 
Bear roared with fury, twisting and thrashing in her grip, slamming his shoulders back into her exposed chest to knock her away. Refocused on establishing his dominance, he lunged at her, attempting to clasp his jaws on her throat until she submitted. Phoenix would not have this. Plowing into Bear, he knocked him off her, growling protectively and standing over his leader. Snorting, Titan slowly got up, glaring at the trio and slouching over beside Pheonix. Titan easily out-sized Bear, thus, ending the conflict. Bear cowardly backed off to his stall.
 
Rose snapped angrily at the male. As the other dogs pulled him off of her she scrambled to her paws and stood her ground. She would die before submitting to him. "Wait," she barked,"If he has a problem with me let's settle it now. I have taken the role of alpha female but eventually I want an alpha male. Maybe this dog wants both." rose growled angrily.
 
Bear let out a fierce snarl, almost daring to go closer to Rose if not for Phoenix and Titan standing at her shoulders. Phoenix had his head lowered, eyes locked on Bear and muzzle rippling back in a silent growl. Titan was staring obscurely up at the ceiling, eyes loitering on the rafters as he showed no visible desire to reprimand any advances made. Lumbering towards her, Phoenix tensed, and at that gesture, Bear knew that he would pose little of a threat. Titan hardly paid him any mind, and gradually making his way until his face was mere inches from her nose. Raising his head slightly, it was apparent that he wanted to be in charge. The savageness in his eyes flickered, and still, instincts prevented him from wanting to exhort physical submission upon the female.
 
As the male approached her she let out a fierce snarl her hackles rising. She had fought larger dogs then him and won so she was not too worried. Out of the corner of her eye she saw some pups. "Somebody get them in a stall," she barked softly. She did not want them to see this. She looked at Phoenix and Titan, "Thanks for helping me but I have to do this," Rose barked nosing each of their shoulders softly. She turned her attention back to the male breathing deeply. She could see conflict flickering in his eyes. It probably had something to do with the fact that she was a female. She began to circle the male looking for any weak points. He was so big that if she bent her legs she could practically walk under him.


Doc stepped out of his stall the minute he heard fighting. If his bones had agreed he would have tried to help but with his arthritis that was not an option. As the fighting broke for a moment he heard Rose ask for someone to take care of the puppies.
 
Bear's lips quivered in a sadistic growl, chest vibrating like the sub-woofer in a car with each tremorous noise he emitted. As he was circled, his tail rose and curled, ears pivoting from side to side as he hardly shifted an inch. She wasn't as intimidating as she thought she was. He fancied that she would be whimpering in withdrawal of her leadership. With a deep bark, he implied the following; "Submit to me now and spare yourself the shame and humility of losing before your followers. If not, I have no intentions of being gentle."


Phoenix whined and plopped down beside Titan, who was already daydreaming, only vaguely aware of the altercation. He'd done his part, now it was up to Rose. Phoenix silently rooted for her, and Titan vociferously snored in the passing minutes to come--as if he could care less.


Kota writhed in sublime agony, unaware of what was going on. She had her own issues to resolve.
 
Rose's muscles twitched with anticipation making her movements fluid yet strong. At this point she was unaware of her surrounding unless she viewed them as something that might be helpful to her. She wanted to see him move before she struck. She had not gotten a chance to see his fighting technique and fight once he attacked she would be able to figure it out. On her third circle she stopped and listened to him as if she were considering actually submitting to him. She laughed as he said, "no intentions of being gentle."


"When has any dog ever been gentle with me?" she asked a half-crazed look passing through her eyes. She was ready to get this over with but she would wait if she had too.
 
Chest heaving dutifully, he muffled a growl, snorting and watching her turn from civil to malicious. However, he did not feel threatened. He hardly wanted to attack at all... he just wanted her to submit so he could get this over with. Shoulder-blades rising to give him a foreboding appearance, he let out a sharp cackle, smacking his powerful jaws together and spraying her with a thin film of translucent fluid. "Make you move," he ordered with contempt.
 
Rose rolled her shoulders loosening up the tense muscles. She dug her paws into the straw that coated the floor.


"Actually I do believe it is your turn," she barked shaking her head as the saliva hit her. This dog was crazy something just was not clicking somewhere in his mind.
 
"So be it," he snarled, pads ripping against the barn floor as he propelled himself swiftly at Rose, clamping his jowls direction onto the side of her neck and throwing her roughly to the ground, maintaining the hold as he pinched the flesh, bearing down with all his weight to constrict the flow of blood and oxygen.
 
Rose saw the move coming and allowed her body to go limp. She counted to ten allowing him to think she was gone. She made her body go limp and right when she felt herself nearing the edge she used the burst of stored adrenaline and thrust her back paws into his stomach. Her claws were sharp and the thrust shook him enough so that she could wriggle out of his grasp. She stood up facing him. She could do this all day allowing him to catch her than wriggling out. Rose would do this until he got tired and his movements became sloppy.


Matt practically screamed as he got caught in traffic.
 
Bear grumbled under his breath, almost bored by the fact that he could never find it in him to actually fight the female. Snorting, he side-stepped into her, bowling her onto her side and placing a massive paw on her snout, holding her head loosely to the domicile's floor.
 
Rose wiggled her body back and forth using the force of her body to loosen her snout from under his grip. Once she was in a better position she thrust her paw into his leg. Rose was free and she rolled onto her stomach. She looked like she was laying down but in this position she had a pershot at his lower leg. Rose sunk her teeth into thinnest part of his foreleg biting down until she tasted blood. She released after a second and darted underneath his body nipping his stomach before she appeared on his left.
 
Lifting the leg up to his chest without much more than a soft whimper, he turned around to face her again, growing increasingly agitated. Whipping around he sunk his teeth into her scruff, thrashing maleficently and jostling her to and fro. Plowing into her side, he knocked her to the ground, keeping a firm hold on her neck and pinning her with three legs.
 
Rose, once again went limp, as he thrashed her back and forth. The more relaxed her body was the less it hurt. Once she was pinned she thrashed her body underneath him back and forth until he was off balance. The dog still had not let go of her scruff but she kept going. She thrust her back paws into his back paws knocking him further off balnce. Rose rolled over so her scruff was laying flat and she was literally laying down underneath him. She lowered her head than with one quick movement she thrust it back into his face nailing him right in the nose. Head butting was never a good idea but occasionally it was necessary.
 
He watched her wriggle and shifted himself accordingly. This fight was boring. She was predictable.


Head reeling back with her's, he savagely jerked her up at the first sign of a headbutt, the impact of her move being dwarfed as onto the very top of her skull merely brushed against his nose. Using his foreleg, he placed a paw on her snout, and with a disapproving grunt thrust her maw down against the ground with a brutality veiled only moments before. A low rumble of irritation gave him reason to further his hold on her neck, re-gripping lower on her hide, more towards her throat and the vital veins. Twisting gruelingly to the right, he held her skull at a dangerously awkward angle. "Last chance to submit," he breathed with an air of regret. If she gave in, he would have established his dominance. If she didn't, he'd have one less follower.
