Name:
Pavlov
After the Russian Psychologist, Ivan Pavlov, who was famous for the concept of "conditioned reflex"
One experiment consisted of a Dog, some food, and a bell. By conditioning the dog to anticipate food at the ring of a bell, Pavlov was able to cause a conditioned reflex of drooling whenever a bell was rung
Gender:
Male
Personality:
Pavlov is an extremely loyal and obedient Crow. You never see him stray far from his Saviour.
He is highly intelligent and can learn new tactics after only being shown once or twice.
A weakness of his is food; Pavlov LOVES food. Not just any food, mind you, it must taste good. His preferences in taste are mostly spicey and/or sweet. Lamb curry with a sherbert dessert is his favorite.
Pavolv shows two different personalities depending on his surroundings. If he is alone with his Saviour, he is extremely affectionate and loves sleeping snuggled up. However, if there is ANYONE nearby that he can sense, he becomes overprotective. In such a situation, he tenses up and will not calm down until the "threat" has "retreated".
To his Saviour's disapproval, Pavlov has a habit of creating a "Nest" on the bed.
He takes all sorts of things that he likes and piles it around in a circle
(To be honest, Sketchy finds the nest oddly comfy).
Things that have been found in such a nest include:
*Soft Fabric
*Clothes
*Wrappers
*Food
*"Targets"(Stuffed Animals)
*Blankets
*Sticks
*Shineys (jewelry, marbles, stones, etc)
*and many other thingsDespite his efforts, his saviour cleans up the nest every morning.
All his favorite things are relocated to a corner of the room, with the food and sticks removed, in Sketchy's attempt at a replacement nest. But, Pavlov never seems to appreciate this "new nest".
Quirks:
Hoarder - Pavlov cannot resist bringing home things he likes and the things he likes become part of a nest.
A suck - Loves being scratched behind the ears, to the point of leg twitches(but only when there is no one nearby).
Lover of Food - Specifically Spicey and Sweet things.
Overprotective - He exercises excessive control in seeking to shield his Saviour from hurt, conflict, etc.
Playful Hunter - During his "down time"(playtime), he will often continue to do "hunting exercises" with his "targets"(stuffed animals), much like a cat would.
Congrats Sketchy^^ You gots him haha (sorry fo the delay I was unable to get on yesterday.)Other:
The night was a perfect night: calm, warm, with a slight fog drifting wherever water lay.
Pavlov sniffed at the air, fur bristling with excitement. He must have senced an infected!
I gave a slight signal with a flick of the wrist, and he took off. Most canines would make a sound as they ran..
However, Pavlov isn't just any canine. Swift, precise movements had him across the feild in seconds with hardly a sound.
A stillness crept through the air. Slowly, I made my way over to where I last saw Pavlov.
Finally a snarl and a sharp screech!
I ran the rest of the way. As I got closer I realized Pavlov had found a small nest of infected mice!
He had killed nearly 8 by the time I arrived. After he neutralized the nest, we continued on our route.
"Good boy" I finally said, patting him on the side.
Pavlov gave a quick nuzzle, and sped up to a happy, silent, trot.
There will be many more infected to exterminate before the night is through.
