Name: MSK When Things Crumble ‘Marsh’
Gender: male
Prompt:

Marsh stood at the top of the slide tower, his tail wagging hard. Without a second thought, he plopped down on the slide and pushed off with all his might. Adrenaline surged through him as he zipped down the wind ruffling his fur. As he approached the end, disaster struck. He collided with another collie in an explosion of fur and confusion. One moment he was flying high; the next, he was face-to-face with an angry scowl framed by brown fur. “Sorry!” he yelped as he untangled himself and scampered away, his cheek burning with embarrassment.

As days went by, Marsh found himself in a series of unfortunate events that could only be described as slapstick comedy. He head-butted the collie in the plastic tunnels, tripped over the collie while trying to catch frisbees. And let’s not even talk about that time he accidentally hit them on the head with a stick that was definitely too big for him. Marsh began to feel guilty about his clumsiness. He scanned the park for that brown-haired collie and sighed wistfully. Maybe they could be friends? Just as he turned to leave, he collided into something heavy.

Dazed Marsh shook his head and looked up to find himself staring at the collie. Marsh noticed the white streak that ran down their nose and paws that had transitioned from pristine white to light brown. The collies face wore an amused expression instead of anger. “You think with all these run-ins we’d be friends by now,” said the collie with a smirk.

Marsh’s mouth hung open for a moment as his brain processed this unexpected boldness. “Oh umm… sure?” he managed after collecting himself.

“Great!” said the collie, their tail wagging enthusiastically. “Now let me show you all the best spots around here!”

Name:
Rooster
Gender:
Male
Prompt:
Rooster met their soon to be best friend at a park. He was peacefully playing some frisbee fetch with his owner, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the wind gets knocked out of him as another collie slams into him from the opposite direction. It turns out he too was playing fetch, and they happened to cross paths. Roo was too stunned to react at first, but the other dog took it very well, laughing so hard he could hardly breathe. Normally Roo is pretty shy around strangers, but this new collie was very persistent, and not after too long, the two started running around the park together causing all sorts of chaos!

[Temper]

Name: Caramel
Gender: Male
Prompt:
The wind ruffles the fur in Caramel's ears as he trots forward on the path, head low to the ground, tracking. He inhales the scent of earthy dirt beneath his pads, the wet ground below, the subtle scents of skunk and squirrels that crossed recently, the tang of piney trees that line his path and... what IS that dog smell??
Caramel lifts his head sharply. He is trying to track a fox and find it's den and this very distinctive dog scent is getting in his way. It's not a bad scent, just very potent and quite annoying.
Okay, yes, it's true that Caramel is in a dog park and so there are lots of dog scents. The off-leash dog park is an enormous, fenced off slice of heaven for dogs and Caramel loves to roam alone, tracking animals. But never has a dog's scent inhibited him... until now. The scent is directly over the fox's, meddling with his tracking.
He lowers his head, eyes narrowed, and plunges back ahead. He closes his eyes, completely honing in on what's left of the scent, and finally finds himself upon a small hole in the ground with fox scent all over it. And strangely... dog too. Without thinking, Caramel plunges into the den, excited to maybe catch a glimpse of fox, and instead finds himself face first with... another collie??
The same familiar scent from the path he was tracking washes over him. It's her. A simple looking collie wags her tail gleefully as the two collies crouch next to each other in the too-small fox den.

Name: OV's Sending a Message "Hermes"
Gender: male
Prompt: The first time Hermes met his best friend he was so stoked. It was at an outdoor agility training class and his friend was just as bouncy as he was. Their humans always put cute bandanas on them that made their eyes pop and Hermes wished he had one, too.

The two ran around for hours and had so much fun trying to do the course faster than the other. His human even took a picture of him and his new friend together on the A frame. Every time he looks at the picture he loves how his friend's coat and spots compliment his own coat! He's so glad he gets to see them every week and can't wait for the next class!

[Wifflebee]

Name: Confetti
Gender: Male
Prompt:
Confetti was getting picked up from the vet when he first met this mystery collie. He had just had a routine dental cleaning done, so he was still a liiittle (ahem, make that very) woozy and out of it when he stumbled straight into them as they passed by in the hallway.
The initial encounter did not go well. Caught off guard and a little grumpy given the circumstances, the collie mistook Confetti’s fumble as an intentional attack and retaliated with a quick snap and snarl, sending poor dazed Confetti onto his back in confused terror. Confetti couldn’t even tell, or more accurately, even remember what this collie looked like, it all happened so fast. They might’ve been brown? Or maybe there were some white spots in there somewhere?
He hopes they meet again soon so they can make amends. Maybe he’ll be able to walk straight next time! 😬😅

Name: WH Organized Chaos // "Pandemonium" / "Pan"
Gender: DMAB
Prompt:

Pan was only a "teenager" when he was brought to a boarding facility while his humans went on vacation. Like any proud young dog, he trotted around on his too-long legs and pretended to be disinterested in the other dogs; in reality, he desperately wanted the others to admire him. Typical teenager. When he began to hear chatter about a potential race, he felt that he surely would win, and that this could be his chance to earn their respect for good. Three rounds later - all ending with him in the lead - cemented his pride. He had won by at least a tail's length each time; he felt on top of the world. But... the other dogs weren't so amused by his snooty nature. Pan shrugged it off, thinking that a few more winning rounds would change their minds.
As the fifth and final round approached, a new dog entered the race: a small, shy female with bright eyes. Pan scoffed as the polite collie dipped her head to him. She just smiled and rolled her eyes. The race began and Pan was off like a bullet, ears pressed flat against his head as he sped forward. As the finish line came into view, his fifth victory felt assured and, like any prideful creature, his cockiness overtook him. He slowed down. Quick as a bolt of lightning, the little female from earlier shot by him and passed the finish line. Pan was gobsmacked. The other dogs were quick to gather around the newest champion and give her all of the admiration that Pan had been racing for. Feeling more than a little dejected, Pan walked away and flopped down beneath a tree, pouting. He felt tears gather in the corners of his eyes. He felt ashamed.
"The others are just jealous. You could've won," a voice spoke up from right next to him and he nearly jumped out of his skin. It was the winning collie. She had sat next to him and was gazing at him softly.
"Huh?" He mumbled.
"You could've won," she repeated, giving a gentle wag of her tail, "If you hadn't slowed down, I might not have been able to beat you. I'm fast, and nobody has ever beaten me. But you? You could've." Pan looked at her, feeling bewildered. He didn't know how to respond. They looked at each other for a few awkward moments, then the female cleared her throat and got to her paws.
"Ah, 'm... anyway," she began to walk away, "It was a good race. Thanks." Pan's heart beat fast in his chest. Surely he should say something, right? She was leaving! If he didn't say anything, he could never face her again... and they were in the same kennel... it would be so awkward...
"W-we can have a rematch! Maybe tomorrow? When we're both rested?" He called after her in a wavering voice. She turned and blinked at him, then a huge smile broke out on her face. Her tail wagged furiously.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that." She responded warmly.
Pan's tail wagged just as fast.

Name: Flai
Gender: Female
Prompt:
Flai have always been a somehow skittish dog, getting spooked relatively easy and taking a while to calm down afterwards, but on this memorable occasion, she have outdone herself!
It happened on a serene spring evening, it was not quite summer yet but already warm enough for the pool in the yard to be filled with water. Flai wasnt yet used to there being water in the pool again, and carefully walked around the edge sniffing it and trying it with her paw. At that exact moment, the humans decided to "let a friend in to play" to the yard... except they forgot they didnt introduce the collies beforehand, and the appearance of an unknown dog suddenly jumping into her face have caught Flai entirely off guard! She yelped and instinctively, jumped to the side to "escape" the unknown dog - aaand "to the side" just happened to be, towards the pool, side. In one quick spring, she bounced herself off and crashed into water! The guest dog was shocked and started barking, scaring Flai even further - so she started swimming away from what her mind now percieved as "horrible danger", panicking so much she didnt even notice what color that "invader" was. The humans returning to check what the noise was, were met with a very funny picture, the guest dog running around the pool barking and digging the water, with Flai swimming away for her life every time the other dog attempted to get near. The guest dog clearly thought Flai was getting carried away by the current, and tried to help her - and Flai was horrified out of her mind and wouldnt listen to any attempts to reason her, dog or human spoken. If only somebody had their phones on them at the moment to film it - but they were too busy trying to fish Flai out of the pool, which actually turned out to be quite a challange because she's a rather fast swimmer.

[phrogMutt]

Name: phrogMutt
Gender: male
Prompt:
Randy was an old dog, been around for a good many years, helping his owners around on the farm, being a loyal herding dog. But his bones were old and his jointed were aching. He couldn't herd like he used to. He knew it was only a matter of time until...
A bright light broke through the dark room, his oweners were home, an so was something else. A new scent hit Randy's nose like a ton of bricks as something small and wiggley barreled into his side.
His eyes cracked open to see.. a puppy. Tiny and barking, sprinting around the room, knocking into tables and chairs. Great stars. He knew his owners would be getting a new herding dog soon but he had assumed it would be a trained adult. Did they really expect him to be able to train someone so tiny and unruly? He lifted his tired head up to look at the pup. He must've been just like that when he was younger. Mayube having such a lively little thing around would be nice.
