BUDDY
▫unaltered malexx▫four yearsxx▫dutch shepherdxx▫leader of the forgottenxx▫loc. boardwalkxx▫tags. open

It was mid-afternoon, the hottest point of the day, and people were still hustling and running around in the bright sun. Buddy couldn't help but wonder why humans were so weird. Weird wasn't really the word; Buddy just couldn't think of anything better. Nonetheless, they still let themselves bask in the sun while they shopped, ate food, took pictures of stupid things, and shopped some more.

Humans, The shepherd thought with a groan, rolling his eyes slightly in an annoyed manner. They didn't pay much attention to him, thankfully, as he padded up and down the boardwalk, his nose constantly stuck to the ground or in the air, and his paws throbbing from the burning wood beneath him. When he got to some shade, he would definitely have to lick the blisters and give himself some remorse.

With his nose lifted into the air, Buddy almost missed the pile of trash that lay below him on the sand. Covered in seagulls, of course, which was a good thing; that meant that there was something edible hidden in that rubbish. The closest way down, however, was a 5-foot drop from the boardwalk to the beach, which Buddy took without hesitation.

He landed into the sand gently and almost instantly took off at a pelting speed towards the birds. They were too stupid and engulfed in the garbage to notice him, so Buddy started to bark loudly, his tail wagging with a smile painted across his maw as his tongue lolled out of his mouth sloppily. He loved chasing animals, especially birds.

The flock took off with a loud, united squawk that made Buddy's ears hurt. Loose feathers and grains of sand flew up with them, causing a small cloud of dust to appear over the trash. The shepherd took a moment to jump up into the air in a half-assed attempt to catch one of them before falling back to his paws and trotting over to the pile.

After a moment of sniffing and digging with his two front paws, Buddy came across a half-eaten corndog smothered in ketchup; he never cared for condiments, but it would have to do.

Casanova hobbles down the boardwalk, dodging people here and there. Children run about, squealing at the sight of him. He yelped, running out the fast he could.

After he was out of their sights, he noticed a group of gulls fighting over something. Casanova barked, snapping at them and chasing them away from the remains of a burger.

Alskaa . Female . Bisexual . Loc;Forgotten Territory . Tags;Open

Alskaa laid quietly by herself, watching the others. She flicked her tail, thinking to herself. There wasn't much to do, though it was a nice day. Alskaa yawned lightly before laying her head on her paws, awaiting someone else approach.

beast - untouched male - 8 years - tibetan mastiff - open
beast lay in the shade near the buses. his head lay on his gigantic paws. he felt his stomach growl so he got up, wandering towards the streets. he didn't know what time it was but the sun was out which meant people would be out. which meant there was going to be half eaten food in the garbages and on the streets. his favorite tactic was to go to the garbage's near restaurants to search for half eaten burgers or even extra fries.

beast kept walking until the familiar giant m came into view, nonchalantly walking near the garbage's, making sure nobody got too close to him as he lifted his front body onto the can, sticking his head inside. it smelled delicious, there was most likely a fish sandwich in there by the smell. he nosed through, finding two nuggets and half a fish sandwich. the two nuggets he ate while his head still resided in the garbage and the fish sandwich was still in the cardboard thing, why did humans do that? he dragged it out, dropping his upper body to the floor, ripping apart the cardboard, grabbing the sandwich and trotting off, his head low, getting out of sight of the humans.

beast sat in the alleyway between two buildings eating his treasure, growling slightly as he watched humans walking past him, getting slightly protective over his food, and just showing aggression so no one would try to come and pet him. it's true, young children had seen him, noticed the chain link on his neck and had attempted to pet him before, it was terrifying, their grubby little hands trying to grab at him, probably coated in saliva and melted candy. disgusting things human children were.


ramona - untouched female - 4 years - native american shepherd / native american indian dog
ramona sat in front of her humans apartment. there was a small fence that was above the stairs that led to where her apartment door was. her two humans had let her out so she could do her business on the wee wee pad outside their door because they were too busy to actually walk her. it was tough, she couldn't scour the planted trees, picking up the scents of other dogs, other humans, squirrels, there were so many scents she wanted to investigate. she could see other dogs being walked and she just watched.

ramona almost wanted to scratch at the door to eat, it was around her mealtime, but she wanted to admire the sights around her. there were new flowers growing, those cute little light grey ones(yellow to humans) that bloomed into fragile white balls that children would pick and blow the white feathery petals off of. she called them sun and moon flowers because they represented the sun at first, and later on represented the full moon. the smell of vendor food filled the air and she rested her chin on the tip of the fence.

letting out a small yawn she slowly went down two steps and laid her body across them all, resting her chin on the top step, gazing out onto the sidewalk.

apollo kept his eyes open in search of any food that could satisfy his hunger. he had been up for a while, a little before the sun had come up. the hot asphalt was burning the pads of his feet, so he decided to head down towards the boardwalk, hoping to find some trash that might be edible.

serendipity|three years|australian shepherd|tagged: x|crush: x

serendipity was asleep on the cool, metal dumpster tucked in the dark alley. a rustle awoke her and she stood up, arching her back as she stretched. her eyes adjusted towards the sliver of light that led to the streets when she saw a short fat man walk around the corner. he spotted her with a scowl on his face as he picked up a stick that was lying on the ground.

"hey! beat it, dog!" the man shouted, throwing the stick. he missed by a few feet and serendipity stared at the piece of wood before hopping down. he gave one last nasty look towards the red dog as she walked passed him, and she rolled his eyes. stupid humans, ruining everything.

With a twitch of her curly tail, Clementine opened her eyes slowly. The basenji often slept in while the others were away, and she enjoyed the extra time to herself. With a small huff, Clementine lifted herself to her tiny paws, and she scurried out of the abandoned bus that she had taken shelter in. Her amber eyes looked around the desolate part of town, then back towards the city. There was no doubt that some other pack members were out there; but Clementine didn't want to leave without someone by her side. She wouldn't admit it, but she was frightened by the bustle and life of the city. Last time she had ventured deep into the city, she almost was trampled by a rush of storming humans. It almost made her chest go tight thinking about it. Clementine watched and waited until somebody would agree to wander with her.

When his owners arrived back from the store, his paws pitter-patted against the hard wood floor until he saw them. Klaus wagged his tail graciously as they scratched behind his ears before returning to the kitchen. He anxiously awaited them to sit down so that he could rest besides them. The bull terrier even designated a special pillow for himself on the couch.

As he carried his food away from the sight of people, he noticed another dog. As he laid down and nibbled at the burger, he watched the other dog. The dog was rather large compared to him so he was cautious, not wanting to be attacked and loose more than just a limb this time.

Alskaa . Female . Bi . Loc;Forgotten Territory . Tags;Clementine

Alskaa noticed that Clementine seemed to want to go to the city, yet was rather reluctant. Maybe I find speed to her, she might want me to go with her. She thought, standing up and shaking her pelt.

She made her way over to Clementine, smiling a little. "Hello." She says in a friendly tone, as loud as she could manage. It wasn't loud to others though, she was rather soft spoken.

Her orange ears perked when she heard the words from Alskaa, she shuffled back to her feet to give the larger dog a response. "Hey Alskaa," The basenji muttered, "I'm just waiting for something to do." Clementine lifted her head slightly as an idea filled her head. "Would you want to go into the city with me? We could find something to eat, and I promise it would only be for a bit." Clementine knew that if she had Alskaa by her side, none of the humans would be dumb enough to hurt her.

At the offer of going to the city, Alskaa grinned. "I'd love too." She answers, her tail curls over her back happily. "The amount of time it takes doesn't matter for me. I haven't been to the city in a while." She tells her, glad to be able to be in the company of someone.

beast - untouched male - 8 years - tibetan mastiff - open
beast finished his fish sandwich, slowly raising to his feet. his body ached slightly. he didn't know if it was warning signs of arthritis, or he popped a joint, slept on something wrong. no lets face it, an old bus seat was not the most comfortable thing, but it was better than those fluffy pillows on hard linoleum floor inside a small cage. he had room to stretch out...kind of, he was a big dog and sometimes his head or rump would hang off the sides, but come on, he had freedom to get up as he pleased, move around, take night walks, his only problem was if he ever got a mate, they wouldn't be able to sleep on the same seat.

he started wandering around the city, his head low, his eyes glaring at anything on two legs. some of the pets were being walked, and all he could do was glare at them. how could they stand being restrained. it looked horrible. his original owner never restrained him, he was basically a stray dog who kept the old, mentally ill guy comfortable as his thoughts consumed him at night. he would lick the dirty tears off his face, it was nice, he had his own job. those pets were just items to the humans, they had no job, no place other than to make the humans happy.

he was still mad at himself for not being able to take the chain off his neck because some humans would take it as 'oh you ran off' and try to leash him. he would bolt off at these times, no one would want him as a pet, he would be the worst pet. he wasn't meant for pet life, humans served no purpose to him anymore. they betrayed him and the pack? that was where he belonged. he continued to walk through the city, running across the street as the humans did, zig zagging through them to get to the other die, panting at his effort in that.
