Bitterness rose up into the polluted air. The conversation between the two canines made Lara bewildered, and wondered why they decided to act upon each other in a spiteful manner. The dachshund-mix peered up at them, still listening, even though she had no knowledge of the specific canine they were discussing about. She noticed Valtari flicking his ear back every few times, supposedly showing acknowledgement that Lara was still there. Uncommonly, the laekenois would take a quick glance back at her. Lara found it difficult to know what would happen next. Lara suddenly took a precarious chance in speaking up. " Fresh food is everywhere if we just look, " Lara blurted. " They're mostly at those stands with food, but humans leave stuff around all the time. " You've just got to be quick, " Lara added, even though the laekenois was probably brisk enough already. The dachshund mix was slightly startled at the statement she had just blurted out, as she realized it was a firm quality she held, especially when you're a tiny dog. Unfortunately, for the most part Lara was hesitant in speaking anymore. It was probably an effortless thing to achieve by Valtari, as his personality suited it. Lara threw her paw up and curled it, uncertain of the response.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Robin's paws ached as she trotted along the alleyway. In the past few weeks, she's been feeling less and less like herself. She
has been eating less, more tired, and yet the small collie hasn't changed much at all. Except for gaining a few pounds, robin
has been her normal, happy self. Life as a stray isn't all bad. You have the freedom to be who you want and to do whatever
it is that makes you happy, even if it means living off the leftovers of others. Jack, her brother, has always been by the dog's
side. Whichever way one of them went, the other could always been heard padding around nearby.
Now, as the two wander in search of a meal, Robin can't help but wonder why she had ever trusted the curly-haired stray she
had previously called her mate. As soon as she'd told him about their family, he'd fled, leaving her to care for her pups with
only Jack as her backup. Of course they aren't here yet, it's only been four weeks since she figured it out, maybe five, but it
would only be a few more weeks before Robin's entire world would have to become safer. No more sneaking into the private
dog park, or poking fun at the dog catcher. The collie would have to be responsible. "What a gross thought," she spoke aloud,
not realizing she had until it was already done. "What do you mean?" A voice called out from behind her. Jack, her older
brother by seventeen minutes was the only dog who'd ever cared enough to stay by her side. "Never mind, it doesn't matter."

Jack smirked as he watched Robin's ears fold back onto her skull. She was always saying her thoughts out loud, and although
she denied it, Jack always had the feeling that a part of her meant to. "What, you don't want to be eating trash anymore?" He
called to her, knowing that probably wasn't what was bothering his sister. He knew that Toby wouldn't stick with her for long,
he just wasn't that type of dog, but it still hurt the collie to know that his sister felt abandoned again. It was one of his main
goals in life to make her feel like she wasn't alone, especially after all that they'd been through. When the two were younger,
their family had been taken by the animal control officer. Zari was the only one who might have escaped, and the two hadn't
seen any sign of her since that night. "I know you're upset, but you'll always have me. I promise," Jack added softly, "besides,
I am way too cool for you to not want to be around me." He snickered, and i'm pretty darn funny.

‣ sol's floppy ears perked as she heard a voice. her tail wagged at the sight of another dog. finally, she needed to meet some new dogs around here! "oh, hey!" she said happily as she stood before them. "i'm sol, who are you?" she studied this mixed breed dog, cocking her head lightly. they didn't seem to have an owner, they didn't have the scent of one on them. was this a stray? sol heard about those, she didn't know what they were like, though,

❛ Glory | Silken Windhound | Domestic

Tagged; Open
Standing in line with her mother, uncle and brother. Glory was patiently biding her time. The four dogs stood calmly wagging their tails as they watched their frantic owners grab together their coat and bag before exiting the one floor apartment. The moment the door hinge clicked shut and the car engine revved, Glory instantly bolted towards the bedroom. Wasting no time, she used her nose to unclip the hinge and push up the window. Leaping out onto the metal grate of the fire escape and proceeded to use the dustbins as steps to make it to the ground.

Glory was an escape artist, and so far her owner hadn't found out. She had little interest in being locked up all day, especially not with her Uncle always telling her to be quiet because everyone wanted to sleep, so boring. There was so much more to see in the city and she was determined to make the most of it.

woofyoonji minded her own business, never bothered anyone else, human, canine, feline, or even equine. if they didn't bother her, she didn't bother them. she had picked up the habit a few years back after nearly getting herself into a fight that was definitely not intended. after that, she stuck by herself, and ended up liking it that way. there were a few times when people would come by and pet her- of course, she willingly allowed them to -and canines who sniffed at her rear end, but she hadn't bothered anyone else with such things for awhile. besides, the streets were her home. the only home she recalled entering was one that her previous owners had before they left. to return to south korea. they just couldn't bring her with them. but she didn't mind. she grew used to it.
woofbrown eyes scanned over the park, kids running in all directions chasing each other and grabbing at one another's backs before taking off in opposite directions. humans were intriguing. their actions even more so, especially the small ones. they were always the most interesting. they chased one another, touched them and took off in another direction, even running on top of the little structures that they were often weaving underneath. yoonji wondered what it would be like, as a human. was it fun? would it be boring? there were many questions she wished she could even ask these little, two legged human beings. but they couldn't understand her, all they heard were barks and loud yips. which, of course, they replied to in their own language. if it was even a language. they barked, using the literal word bark, and a few of them arfed, and that lead to her eventually giving up. it was like trying to talk to a bunch of aliens, and that was not exaggerating.
woofthe korean jindo pushed herself up into a sitting position, her tail thumping against the ground slightly. genuinely, she was enjoying just watching them. and soon enough, some left and others came. some left then came right back. some left and didn't come back until a long while later. yoonji pushed herself to her feet and shook out her coat, sneezing a single time before she trotted through the bark, a few children running in front of her, some petting at her fur, and others backing away as if she was going to eat them alive. once she had passed through the area, she was on a side walk, now jogging lightly along the path. a few people ran past. yoonji looked up at the sky, then returned her gaze forward and lowered her nose, sniffing a single time before lifting her head once again.

although it was unbelievable, the gate to the street was open, and because annemarie's owners were away for the day, she decided to have a trip of her own. she carefully walked through her doggy door and ran down the street. it had been a while since anne was running across the streets like this. the busy cars and people walking around made the shiba inu so excited. anne sniffed the ground, in search of another dog, but didn't find a trail. so she ran even further down the block, having no care where her tiny legs took her. and almost coincidentally,her fur slightly brushed passed a gray and white windhound. "well, that was one way to meet another dog!" anne chuckled as she observed the dog. "my name is annemarie, or anne for short. nice to meet you."

valtari's attention was pulled quite quickly from queenie's enticing wit to lara as she took the daring chance of adding her suddenly brazen voice to their biting conversation. his gaze remained sharp as he turned it from the larger female to the smaller one as he flashed her a contradictory—half approving, half skeptical—smile. "i have no trouble being quick when i have to be, sweet heart," he said, unconsciously reverting back to his easy use of the much despised nickname that he'd initially elected to use for her, "but why expend the effort when you can have someone else be quick for you? why look when you can have someone else look for you?" unless his back was against a wall, in val's mind, anything that necessitated any kind of leg work did not exist. since the friendship between himself and mac tire had imploded, valtari had stuff done for him rather than by him. partnerships, like the one that had formed between himself and his former friend, required mutual exertion; control, on the other hand, required only one-sided effort. to him, the logic behind his way of thinking and being was clear and completely comprehensible. he couldn't understand how so few besides himself seemed able to understand it. "don't you agree?" he asked, one eyebrow raised up high in almost frustrated question.

the black leather lead that connected m'baku's matching black leather collar to eve's pale, forgiving fingers hung loose at the canine's side. on occasion, the smooth, dense material would brush up against the male's stark white shoulder, but aside from that minor and infrequent source of contact, m'baku felt entirely free. he was only too happy to be walking along side his master on his way to his absolute favorite location in all the world. his curiosity overpowered his elation however, when he raised his head from where he had been blithely sniffing the cracked pavement beneath his feet to catch sight of a somewhat small, unfamiliar female of sun-kissed fur and no visible ownership. the male's eyebrows raised almost instantaneously, but he was quick to flash a friendly smile in her direction before speaking up: "i haven't seen you around here before," he called, his voice loud and booming, but jovial all the same. "do you have a name? mine is m'baku, if you care to know."

woofthe canine wagged her tail slightly as a slightly older human bent down to pet her head, before taking off after someone, her bag creating a symphony of noises. yoonji shook once again, nearly slipping before she continued on her way, her head raised as she drew in deep breaths. the smell of hot dogs, yes hot dogs, drifted in her direction, and she licked her lips. while the smell was inviting, she knew it wouldn't be best to go after it. would it? she'd probably get in trouble. she had tried in the past, the man nearly threw a pan at her. that wasn't a fun experience, and wasn't one she wanted to go through for a second time. shaking off the smell, she continued to move along her way, ignoring the strong smell of meat that wafted in her direction. it was a few moments before she came to a brusque halt, and turned towards a larger, white canine with a leather lead hooked in the hands of a human. "annyeong," she greeted, head tilted to the side before she turned herself around and began to walk beside him, keeping her distance in case his owner wasn't keen on her company, "of course i have a name... m'baku, who doesn't?" her voice was kept low, and she turned her head slightly to look at him. he was far larger than she was, and quite intimidating to be honest. "i'm yoon-ji."

Lara immediately regretted her choice to speak as valtari whirled his head and stared right into her bright blue eyes. His grin seemed calm for a second, but quickly Lara's eyes adjusted, and the canine's eyes looked quite skeptical again. His grin kept put when he spoke, and he once again spoke in a eerie way. The dachshund mix curled her tail down between her shaking legs sharply. She decided not to put any pressure on the fact that valtari had once again spat out the loathing name that Lara had called him out for. Instead, she had focused on the tension the laekenois was daring at her. The dachshund mix had taken far too many unpredictable chances at speaking, beyond anything she felt she could ever do. Lara had done the unfortunate path of just accepting that she could not do anything else with the tiny body she had. She could feel the tiny pang of frustration valtari was giving. " Yea-." Lara mumbled, trying to stop her subtle shaking. Lara tried to register a few thoughts. She thought of the way valtari emphasized his twinge of frustration towards her. Her mind switched between speaking up more, or just to stay silent. The blue-eyed canine's confusion emerged, and she shook her head roughly. Valtari was indeed a clever and terrifying canine.

I lay outside the shop where I spend most my time. The old blanket underneath me it damp, but somewhat comforting. I whimper quietly to myself as my stomach rumbles. I get up quietly and decide to look for some food.

I head out further into the center of the big city. I hate the cars and the skyscrapers but I'm slowly getting used to it. I know my way around now at least. The smell of the streets isn't pleasant as it wafts across my nose, that's when some voices catch my attention. I turn a corner to see two dogs, both collies with ginger markings. Their smell indicates to me that they are both strays. I take a couple of steps back just for safety before barking. "Hello!"

"Bogart, do I have to go?" I say with a bark. "Yes! Don't you want to go out and see the strays? They are so cool, like rebels!" I hear Bogart reply. "Ok then." I say trotting up to the little jack russell, I'm only slightly bigger than him but hes still the boss around here.
20 minutes later
"Bogart, I'm scared... What if our owner comes back and we aren't there?" I say nervously. "Stop whimpering." Bogart silences me. I oblige. We walk for a bit until we see a doberman pinsher. "Who are you?" Bogart asks as back away, interacting with a stray isn't exactly my idea of fun.
