Name You'd Choose for It:
Lotus
The reason for her name change is to give her a natural name for a natural design. Lotuses are some of my favorite flowers, and in a weird way I had a Sims child named Lotus with blue eyes and brown hair. A coincidence or a sign? In any case, following the more English route of names, she has a simple name to show her simple lifestyle, like a lotus's petals, she will travel and blossom in the world once fate has chosen to let her go free.
Species/Breed:
Mix of German Shepherd, Husky, & Collie
25% German Shepherd
25% Husky
50% Collie
Never owned after she leaves her family, much like her father.
Gender:
Female
Reason You Want It:
Besides the fact I am addicted to Tripp's beautiful designs, I actually saw a lot of potential in this little girl. I have been designing a mate for Morse, a young collie, and I thought to myself "Well, they should have puppies, right? Who doesn't love puppies?". Then, this little girl's design appeared up for adoption. I knew from seeing her she'd be perfect to be Daddy's little girl and one day take over what him and his brother started. I always loved the combinations of browns, creams, and blues in her father. I'm so happy to find someone else with similar colors.
History/Background/Other:
Youth in Bloom
Anana, her delicate collie mother was a pet to a native Alaskan family. Her father, Morse, was a German shepherd-husky mix native to farm life. However, he was now considered a native to the Alaskan lands. After establishing a stable "pack" of wolves and stray dogs native to harsh winter climates, her father and uncle chose to settle down near a small, somewhat barren village. This is where Morse met Anana. For a male who swore to never fall in love, he was swept off his feet by this beauty. It wasn't long before they mated and had a family on the way. In this first litter, Anana and her mate had three daughters. The oldest was Sura, followed by Lotus and, finally, Chena. Lotus was the only one of the litter to look like their father. The others were identical to their mother. Not long after their birth, the Alaskan family's home was destroyed by a huge blizzard, causing them to relocate. They forgot all about their dogs in the rush to find shelter. Desperate, Anana took her three daughters and sought her mate for his aid. Morse and his brother, Somnus, allowed the females to stay until they could find them a new home.
Blossoming On
Anana and her daughters stayed with her mate for a good two months before a home was found. Anana took her daughters, and grateful to her mate, they headed home. However, as the year came to a close, Lotus discovered she prefered to be outside in the wild like their father than trapped inside like her mother. When she told her mother what she wanted to do with her life, Anana told her gently that the weather would not be merciful and it was no place for a young one like her. Still determined, Lotus finally decided to go against her mother. Escaping her home was easier than she thought it would be.
However, on the streets, she was taken away by a dog catcher. In the pound, she knew there was no escape. Yet, someone chose to adopt her for some strange reason. As soon as her cage was opened, she escaped. Following the stars as her guide, and using what she remembered of the everchanging land, she soon found where she last saw her father. Much to her surprise, he did not want her there either and believed home was safer. There she learned of a bear that terrorized the pack constantly. When it came again, the canines went on an all-out war against the bear. One of the ones who fought was Lotus. While her injuries left her no scarring, they were severe. Morse's furiousness at his daughter soon faded when he realized that she had risked her life to defend the pack. As she healed, he told her she was welcome any time.
Happy Endings
When Anana found out what had happened to her daughter, she was sympathetic. Her mate and her agreed Lotus should be free to choose her own fate, which was with her father. Occassionally, Lotus still goes home to her mother to visit, and the owners welcome her all the same. Lotus's mother later introduced her to her little brother and sister, Canicus and Neve. Lotus will take over her father's pack upon his passing.

I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.
