Arlo |Australian Shepherd | Male | 7 weeks old | Tags: Pumpkin, and Rory

I woke up drowsy, next to Pumpkin, and licked her ears to wake her up. On the other side of me Rory was curled up in a ball. I slowly stood up and Pumpkin was doing the same. Rory was fast asleep and didn't want to wake up, most cats were like that. He went over to the food bowl that was in his crate. He crunched down on each piece of kibble.

Scott awoke and like the pups went to go eat from his metal bowl. His name tag clanging on the outer edge of the bowl as he ate. Suddenly his ears perked up, "Guys somebody's coming! Close your cage doors!" His voice was hush as he picked up the sleeping Rory and put him in his cage with him. A handler walked in carrying another puppy in a crate.

Oscar was still in his cage until the handler put it on the ground. "Hey! Let me out of here!" He body slammed the cage door, but it did nothing. The handler knelt down to talk to him, "Listen little fella. This is your home for now, enjoy it, run around, wrestle, just have fun. Soon you'll probably have some cage mates!" The handler stood back up and walked off, Oscar just sat down sadly and whimpered.

Before she even had time to react to what Scott had said, she was picked up, and placed into a crate by one of the handlers...Only, it wasn't her crate. There was another pup in here. She tilted her head to the side, "Um, hi, I'm Pumpkin, why are you in my crate?" She yipped, a bit confused.

Oscar looked up and wagged his tail, "I'm Oscar! I just got here!" He looked around his surroundings, "And I don't even know where here is!"

Arlo |Australian Shepherd | Male | 7 weeks old | Tags: Pumpkin

Arlo sat in his cage and whimpered. He was alone in his, and he looked around. Arlo looked over at Pumpkin who was talking to another dog. Arlo lied down and sighed with boredom.

Pumpkin | 8 weeks old | Female

"We're at a shelter, that's what my friend said, he said it's a place for animals I think." She mumbled, "Well, I'm glad to have another friend, it's nice to meet you Oscar!" She then faced the cage door, "Arlo! Arlo, look I made us another friend!"

Scott pushed his cage door open and went over to the pups' door. He did the same thing he did to Arlo's door and pulled it open, the pups bounded out in excitement. "I'm Scott." He went over to Arlo's cage and opened it aswell.

"WOOHOO!" Oscar practically zoomed out of the cage, "THANKS MISTER SCOTT!" He turned to the pups, "C'mon let's play!"

Arlo bursts out of his cage, and went over to meet Oscar, his new friend. Arlo bounded around Pumpkin and nipped at her tail. His tail was wagging rapidly and he gave happy yelps. He leaped onto Oscar and pinned him down "Let's play Alpha!" Arlo barked. The pets tilted their heads. Arlo stood in front if them "How it's played is one of us is the Alpha, then you need to try and make the Alpha submit, if they submit, who ever made them submit is the new Alpha!" He barked excited, so did the other pups. Rory meowed happily. "Let's play!"

Scott sat and watched from afar while the pups were playing. He drifted to sleep dreaming of when he was a pup.

"Let's play Alpha!" Arlo told them what it was. "OK!" Oscar was so excited to finally be playing, "I call not alpha!"

"Me too!" She squealed, "I call not Alpha!" The tiny pup was giggling loudly as she nipped at Arlo's ears, and pawed at Oscar before hopping in circles around them, "C'mon guys! Let's start the game!" She barked, excitedly and impatiently, her little tail was wagging rapidly. Living on the streets, the pup had never gotten the chance to play with other pups her age, her life consisted mostly of eating, hiding, and running along side her mother.
