Dyani yawned, waking up from her peaceful sleep as beside her on the bed Joey stirred. After she was completely awake the shepherd wagged her tail slowly and rose to her paws, bed shifting under her weight. The brindle dog moved carefully to the young man and nudged his face with her nose, licking him gently until he woke up, pushing her away playfully and giving his usual, I'm awake, I'm awake now stop it. Dyani gave a sharp bark before bouncing off the bed, the first job of the morning complete. She watched intently as her owner rose from bed and went through his regular routine, shower and dress, go into the kitchen and make breakfast, eat and then finally what Dyani was most awaiting, the preparation of her own breakfast. She watched hungrily as the mixture of raw meat and a nice bone was set into her bowl. "Sit." Joey held the bowl up until Dyani plopped her butt on the floor, eyeing her food eagerly. When the food was set on t he ground she went after it eagerly, eating the meat first before working at the meaty bone. Joey believed that, like all the other animals in the house, Dyani should be fed only the best and she was given a completely raw diet. The pretty dog's eyes followed Joey around as he went about feeding the rest of the animals, first the four cats, the rats and lastly the pair of cockatoos. The snake Joey had was only fed once a week so he needn't worry about him right now. After all of that was done, Dyani's bone was taken away to be finished later and then it was off to the dog park for the morning romp. The dutch shepherd waited at the door patiently as Joey put on his shoes and grabbed the leash even though he wouldn't be using it. He carried it around as a precaution in case something happened where it was necessary to use the thing. With everything done the door was opened and Dyani followed beside Joey as the walk to the dog park began. Her eyes stayed trained ahead, watching for anything out of place or suspicious but the whole walk there was nothing of interest. Her tail curled over her back as she and Joey entered the dog park and her gaze moved over everyone there. There were a few people and their dogs and after studying them she decided they were okay. Nonetheless Dyani walked Joey to the bench, waiting for a good few minutes before being completely sure everything was good and beginning to walk around, some of her attention never leaving Joey.

Teddy

:Breed:
Goldendoodle
:Owner:
Megan
:Jobs:
Companion dog

The curly, black haired head of a dog peered from under the blankets as he heard footsteps coming. He quickly crawled from under the covers, jumping off the bed, and then climbing into his own doggy bed. He situated himself comfortably just as the door opened and a woman appeared. He looked at her innocently as if nothing had happened and added in a tail wag just to complete the look of innocence. The woman smiled at him, clueless to the fact that he had been on the bed when he wasn't supposed to be. It had been dictated when they first adopted Teddy that he'd not be allowed on any furniture and was only to sleep on his own bed. Of course Megan had objected to such rules and every night would let him sleep with her. "Good morning there Teddy." The black dog gave a soft woof, perking his floppy ears forward as the woman moved to wake up the sleeping girl still curled up under her covers. Teddy watched and his tail began to wag again as Megan got up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. The mother left and Megan and Teddy were left alone. Megan looked to her dog and a big grin spread across her face as she patted the bed invitingly. Teddy bounced up and onto the bed, pushing the girl down and covering her in relentless licks. The sound of her giggling only made him lick her more, excitement pretty obvious. Finally the girl pushed him away and got off the bed, "We're going to go for a walk just as soon as I'm dressed." The only word Teddy picked out of that was walk and that word made him bark a few times before bounding out of her room and to the door, waiting anxiously. It seemed like forever before Megan finally came out and hooked his leash onto his colorful collar. With that the two were off, walking down the stairs of the apartment, they lived on the third floor, and then out onto the sidewalk. They were a pretty interesting pair, the small 13 year old girl and her big black dog with the curly coat, and matching colorful collar/leash combo. Teddy walked just ahead of Megan, head high, ears forward, and tail wagging. They were headed int he direction of the dog park which no doubt would have lots of other dogs considering the time it was. Teddy wouldn't mind at least trying and making new friends though.

[mindless.]

The slender female sat back, lengthy legs shifting as she looked around. So far no one to talk to unfortuneately. The champion show female just shrugged and flicked her ribboned tail. She could see a huge red dog and a descent looking one sitting very attentively. Her red sepia eyes skimmed over the land again as she relaxed. Even if none were around to talk to it was still a nice place.

A large red mastiff padded about with boredom. Huffing in defeat and lying down, the muscled puller stretched out his thick fore legs and yawned. Amber eyes scowered the grasses for anything of interest. There just had to be something around right? Black muzzle skimming over the grass he sniffed around himself.


Annie grinned. "Nice." She would probably have issues catching a ball rather than the more steady disc so she was impressed. Finishing up her treat, the female stood and yawned. "Well what now?" She was a hyper dog and rarely sat still. Her crystal blue eyes gleamed with entertainment. Meryl coat warmed by the sun she was contented and happy to make a friend.

Dyani's striped body moved smoothly over the ground, eyes skimming over a coupleof females playing frisbee or something, a few dogs just sitting around or walking aimlessly like herself. Outside of the gate was a new dog coming in and she watched only momentarily before turning her attention back to whatever she was doing, which really was nothing. Her tail remained curled over her back, waving as she wagged and showing her confidence. She caught sight of a large mastiff and it took her only seconds to recognize him. He was, if she wasn't mistaken, the lead puller in this town. She had seen him briefly at events. She eyed him, debating whether or not to go and start up some conversation, it would at least ease her boredom...hopefully. So deciding on doing it the fit female walked over, looking confident as she always did and stopping a comfortable distance from the much larger male. "Hello." She started a small wag in her tail going along with the greeting to make her seem more friendly.

The last few yards to the dog park were the quickest as Teddy bounded forward, dragging and squealing Megan behind him. He wasn't sure why it always surprised her as he did it every time. He stopped at the gate and waited as Megan opened it and let him inside, taking off his leash. He only lingered long enough to see Megan to her standing spot before bounding off, his strides extended and graceful. He was almost like a gazelle, even with a bounce in his run that made it a little comical. The black dog ran around the park, picked up a tennis ball that layu nclaimed on the ground, then bounded back to Megan, setting the dirty ball at her feet expectantly. The young girl picked it up and threw it. Teddy turned nimbly and pounced on the ball, his forelegs coming up to his chest and making him jump much like a fox would on unsuspecting prey. When he got the ball he pranced about happily with it, not quite ready to take it back to Megan.

[mindless.]

The large male lifted his head at a visitor. "Hello there." Bellowed the huge brute. His eyes glanced over the female as he attempted to recognize her. She seemed familiar. Yup. She pulled didn't she? Shifting his large dark paws he turned back to the grasses. "Not much of anything interesting going on here." Added Lucifer, huffing. There really had not been anything going on around besides competitions. This is one of the first times he had met anyone around.

The tall male watched the ongoings of the park. His owner looked toward him. Liam thought Fin must be antisocial or something. Fin rarely would approach another. He recognized the lead from his line of police work. Liam thought it was a demotion because he came from a high military unit line down to local police but Fin seemed to like it. Fin turned up to Liam with a gruff and flicked his ears. Looking rather trim and proper as he sat as attentive as a military man the Malinois remembered he was to begin more obidience work and possibly more than that. Who knows.

[howling dog]

(I changed her breed and made her just an agility dog. I thought my character was a little to similar to some of the other dogs.)

Vixen was awakened by the feeling of something burying itself in her fur. She slowly raised her head and blinked to adjust to the light. A tiny black and white kitten poked it's head out of her fur, and it meowed happily. Vixen began to raise herself off her bed with a sigh. Vixen's owners had adopted the kitten ,named Tux, just over a week ago and he had decided in that short time that Vixen was his mother. He trodded after vixen as she walked toward the kitchen to eat, and She grudgingly accepted his presence.

Dyani sat back on her haunches, paws coming to rest close together as she made herself more comfortable. Her erect ears pricked towards the brute and intelligent eyes focused on him. "That's true." She confirmed quietly. There really hadn't been much going on around not even criminally so the days were going by rather slow. Of course it did leave more time for training for other things, like working on how much she could pull, obedience. which she really already had down packed, and then frisbee, probably the thing she was the worst at out of everything. But she had only started training in it so it was understandable. Her focus turned back to the male and she decided to introduce herself, "I'm Dyani by the way, I've seen you around but never actually spoken to you I think." If she had spoken to the male and forgotten about it she'd mentally kick herself.

[mindless.]

"Lucifer. I have seen you in pulling but never actually spoke to you. Made any new weights lately in pulling?" He asked with a tilt of his head, sitting up with his broad red bringle chest out. He felt tall next to most dogs. He was a big breed. Luce flicked his tail aside his hanches, eyes moving around the park a few.moments before back to the female. He flicked his ears toward her for an answer. He had added a bit more to his own recently, much more comfortable in the new harness Gunman got him.

"Hmmm wanna race?" Akita asked curiously. Her tail wagging around happily.

Dyani thought over the question, remembering the last competition and the amount she had pulled she had in fact added about 50lbs to her record thanks to training with Joey. She finally answered his question, giving her head a brief nod, "I did actually, I'm up to...a little over 1700 now I think." She was only a 65 pound dog which meant she was pulling well over 20 percent of her body weight. It was pretty impressive though whatever Lucifer was pulling would no doubt sound a lot more impressive than hers.

[mindless.]

Lucifer leaned back and thought. It was not an exaggeration. "5,395. I think that was it." It was possible mostly due his breed and intense training. "With wheels on a natural surface." Luce added. His shoulders were still were sore from his practice. Gunamn was determined on making his record near to impossible to beat. Adding little by little every practice. His eyes turned bafk to her with a nod of affirmation. He was pretty sure that was right.

{ that is a record from like 1997 i think. }
