Two Siberians approached the ranch house warily, not forgetting they were in strange country. They had lived among humans for the biggest part of their lives and were now living in the wild. They had come to explore the humans in this new world. They were two champion sled dogs out of a team of seven of them that had lived in the cold regions far out of the Valley, so how did they manage to get here? None of them really knew, but they were here to explore and try to make friends with the two-leggeds and their pets around here. They had many close friends that lived with them, but they all weren't here right now.
Demon, the dog leading the other around, stopped and stood there, ears pricked to catch any sounds. They could hear and smell humans and other dogs nearby. Also wolves. These canines weren't ones to really enjoy wolf company, but if it meant living in the wild then so be it. They liked their new life so far.
Demon looked around as Scooper came up beside him, his nose raised to the sky to pick out and sort the different scents. “See any?” Demon asked quietly as he sat back on his haunches.
“No, but I can smell and hear them.” Scooper replied.
“Maybe a howl will draw their attention to us.” Demon then said thoughtfully as he tilted his maw to the sky and let out a loud howl for any dogs or their humans...
Bonnie's ears perked at the howl, running from the porch to the dogs.
Hey! You shouldn't really howl, they might think you're a wolf. And we've been having bad luck with wolves lately. Who are you? She barked out in a breath.
Demon watched carefully as the dog came, keeping his eyes on her until she proved to not be a threat. He took her words were serious but a little howl never did hurt anyone. “I am Demon, and this is Scooper. We came here to study the human life around here and to make friends with certain inhabitants. We are Siberian huskies. We live with other Siberians and also a Border collie in our new wildlife home. Who are you?” Demon said, noting this new dog's scent. He stayed in a sitting position and waited for an answer.
Scooper reached outward a bit to get Bonnie's scent better. He didn't like to forget things so important like scents so he always wanted a better sample. Then he pulled his head back, sure he had gotten her scent placed. “Hello.” he said to Bonnie before looking at Demon.
He came dashing across the ground, alarmed by the howls. Aidan wasn't too happy with himself for not being around during the last fight, so he was bound determined to make sure nothing else happened. He came to a halt near Bonnie and listened as the two spoke. "I'm Aidan. Just what kind of things do you want to know about us?" he questioned, a bit skeptical of their intentions. Being betrayed by his brother left him with some... 'trust' issues.
Demon thought about what the new canine said. He was a bit startled that he just came dashing, but he seemed to show no threat. “Well, you could say we want to know how the humans live around here. We have lived in the coldest climates where there's always snow on the ground. We know that life differs from region to region, so we have come to investigate. If we plan on living around the humans here, we should know how they live and spend their time. Me and many of my friends I live with today were all on a champion sled dog team and were used for transportation.”
Suddenly, another Siberian husky appeared from the underbrush, tail held high to avoid the bushes and twigs. “Demon! Scooper!” Yodel barked out as she quickly ran to the two, “It took a little longer than I expected, but I brought Mugsy with me. Nana is watching her pups while we are gone.” Her sides heaved as she continued to pant from the long run. She turned and sat back on her haunches, waiting for Mugsy. But the two new canines caught her attention, “Hello, I am Yodel.” she said, her tail wagging.
Scooper edged closer to Yodel before looking around. This place was new. It was certainly something that would never be seen at a place they came from.
Bonnie nodded.
"Alright, you prove no threat to our ranch home." She turned to Aiden.
"Hey Aiden." She noted, turning to the huskies.
"What do you want to know?"
Fetale had followed yodel quickly.She came out of the brush just about right after yodel did.She was panting alot.She shook her coat alittle then took a seat next to yoden and nodded to demon and the others."im mugsy"
"Where are you coming from!?" She asked im mock suprise. She was pretty sarcastic and it was obvious in her voice.
"Hello all dogs."
He smiled and nodded a greeting to Bonnie, having gotten to caught up with the others to provide a descend 'hello' when he first arrived. "Aidan." The hybrid stated lightly, introducing his name to the new comers. He was interesting in this talk of colder regions and sledding, although to be honest, he had no idea what a sled dog was. He knew Nass and Stable were used for transportation, but... they were horses!
"How... how are you used for transportation? Are humans very small where you come from?" He asked, perfectly serious. In his mind, he pictured Demon and the others carrying miniture humans about on their backs, like horses. The concept of sleds and dog teams had no meaning to him.
Demon chuckled at Aidan's words, his spirits lifting, “A human uses a harness and straps us to a sled. Then we pull the sled around. It has been a very long time since we have last done it, though. And we are still getting used to the climates here. It's alot warmer. And humans there aren't very small. They are as big as they are here, but they wear thicker clothing.” Demon barked a friendly greeting to Mugsy when she appeared, happy to see her again.
Scooper was listening intently to the conversation between the two. He continued to glance over to Mugsy a few times though. They had never met yet. He eyed her curiously. So this was the Mugsy Yodel was talking about when they left.
Yodel looked at her friend and then wondered if Nana was okay with the pups. Little did they all know that she was out looking for Anna, the pup who had followed after her mother but must have gotten lost. “Greetings again, Mugsy.” she said, tail wagging.
She barked happily.She flashed a smile at demon and nodded to one who she hadnt really met yet.She looked down behind her when she felt somethin bump into her."anna?"
Anna:the little pup couldnt bear to be left behind she now jumped at her mothers muzzle."mommy come home"she whined.
Demon looked astonished as one of the pups came up. How did she get away from Nana? Strange. She obviously must have followed Mugsy here. He was rather glad she hadn't gotten hurt on her way here. It was a dangerous world for pups.
Scooper watched as Anna jumped. He cocked his head when Mugsy nodded at him and then he extended his maw outward a tiny bit to better catch her scent. What did the name 'Scooper' have anything to do with sniffing? Well, anyway, he pulled his head back and smiled at her, not being able to think of anything else to do at the moment.
Yodel looked confused at Anna's appearance. Hadn't she been left with Nana? Oh well, she was safe here also. But still, she had to say something, “Hey, wasn't she left with Nana back at the Territory? How did she find her way here?” Yodel didn't realize that the pup had followed, but at the swift pace they were going how could she have kept up and still find her way here so quickly? Oh well. The fact was that she was here.
She licked he rdaughter."im not going home just yet you may stay with us if you like anna"she then turnd to yodel."Well she was but.She followed her nose i taught them how to recokonize where the earth has been troden apon so yha"she smiled
anna:she ran to demon and nuzzled up to him.She had taken although barely knew him an liking to him.
·Scooper moved a bit when Anna went to Demon. He was wanting to explore more of the human world around here, but he figured it would be best if he went back to the Territory to check on the others. He wanted to check and see if Nana was okay. He just wanted to leave right now... It gave him an unwanted feeling about his past in his pup-years. “Ummm, I'm gonna go back and see if Nana is okay. I'll see you dogs later.” he said, weariness in his voice. Demon and Yodel nodded a good-bye as he turned-tail and headed out.
Demon was clearly surprised when Anna came to him. He lowered his head to her and nuzzled her, what else was there to do? He smiled before turning most of his attention back to Mugsy and the others.
Yodel smiled. Demon enjoyed pups as much as she did. “Pups are so nice...” she said in a quiet, merry tone of voice. She knew she would probably never have any some time soon, but she never gave her hopes up. She sometimes envied mothers but never gave much thought toward it. She only watched with her tail still wagging.·
She lyed down and watched anna with demon.Shesmiled."yes they are but they are a handful"She laughed
anna:She layed down under demon.
Demon slightly chuckled when Anna layed under him. He hadn't seen this before. It actually made him feel very good. “I bet they could boost your spirits when your sad. I'd say it's worth it.” Demon smiled gleefully as his tail started wagging. He looked down at Anna before turning his crystal blue eyes back to Mugsy and Yodel.
Yodel smiled as well and licked the small pup. Something a mother would do. Her tail started waving faster and faster, making a thumping noise every time it hit the ground. Yodel watched Anna, still smiling, “I bet it is as well. It would be great to have pups. I never give my hopes up to someday have some of my own.” Yodel then laid down on her belly and still kept her eyes on Anna.
She smiled and licked anna.She smiled at demon.Anna usually didnt do this atleast with males.Ever since her father had."your lucky demon she hadnt liked any other grown male i've come across"She smiled and watched demon
Anna:she yawned.
Demon smiled again, ears pricking upward, tail raising and batting the ground even harder, “Well... Ummm, I don't know what to say about that.”
He grinned. He yawned also, feeling sleepy.
Yodel watched Demon and Anna both yawn. It was funny in some sort of way. She giggled and kept a smile as she looked at Mugsy again, “Your lucky.”
She then looked off in the Territory's direction, “Should we go back now?”
“I guess we could,” Demon replied, “After all, I am starting to feel a bit tired now. Let's head back now.” He motioned for Yodel and Mugsy before standing and trotting off, “See you all later!” he called back as he dug through the thick underbrush, Yodel right behind him.
She went over and gently picked anna up in her mouth and followed demon her tail wagging.
