Which pup do you want?: Pup #1
What would you name it?: Maki (Slavic nickname of Maximilian)
What would its gender be?: Male
Why do you want it?: His ears are beautiful, the purple is beautiful, and his stance is playful and confident. The markings suit the personality I would envision him with.
What do you plan on doing with it?: He's going in my signature on a couple of sites, and I'll use him as a character in the 40k word story I'm planning on writing in November.
Have you adopted from us before?: Not yet, no. (YET being key word)
History/background/other: There was once a couple. They complemented each other perfectly, like Yin and Yang. His scarlet with her violet. As any other loving couple of canines, they had a litter (but we won't get into the details of that). The litter seemed perfect - two boys, two girls. Each parent had a boy and a girl similar to themselves. Father (for that was how he was known) passed on his wings to one son, and a muted version of his color to one daughter. Mother's eyes were shared likewise with one daughter and son, and her markings were split in half - feminine swirls adorning Sister's body, while Brother inherited sharp, slashlike stripes. The SIster and Brother I speak of here are only those more like their mother, for there was a thick barrier between the pairs - the other two were known as Other Brother and Other Sister. Unfortunately, there was a lot of competition between Other Brother and Brother. Other Brother naturally had an advantage in the mischief section because he had wings, so Brother had to make up for this by developing an almost ADHD personality. This personality - and fierce competitiveness with anyone daring to disagree with him - caused him to turn away many prospective adopters, and eventually he was the only one left in the litter that had not been adopted. Over the few weeks when his Sister and Other Siblings were adopted Brother became bitter and spiteful. He bit anyone who came near, and Mother was at a loss at what to do. Then ended up doing nothing - Brother ran away before anyone could event hint a change in his attitude. However, he only got about 100 meters away from his home before he was picked up. His captor was a teenage girl, who was the only one so far that could keep hold of a squirming puppy while his jaws flashed in her face. She carried him all the way to her home where Brother, recognizing defeat, let his pride dim down and allowed himself to be petted for the first time since his first sibling was adopted. And so, Brother dropped his nasty attitude and found the capability to love once again, and he became known as Maki, the most annoying and persistent and intelligent and clever creature to walk the face of the earth. And the most loved, of course <3
