I would like to adopt!
Number: 15
Picture: Image
Name: Melanie (left), and Lucius(right)
Species:Grey wolves
Personality: Melania is very warm and friendly, while Lucius is very cool and layed back. Melania usually is the more friendly of the two, and she loves to talk. Lucius, on the other hand, is usually very cautious. He rarely trust others.
Likes: Melania likes sunshine, warm weather, and the soft feel of moss. Lucius enjoys the moon, cool weather, and swimming/the feel of water.
Dislikes: They are the opposite, so they dislike what the other likes. But they do agree on one thing. Nether of them like death.
Background:Melanie and Lucius were born in a small wood in Northern Germany to a small wolf pack. Their mother, Rita, and father were the alphas of the pack, and they were their first litter that they had had together. At first, their father was overjoyed to hear that he had had 2 healthy pups. But once he saw them, he was disgusted. Their fur was extremely strange and they were different from the other wolves. Rita pleaded for their father not to get rid of them, and she succeeded..... partially. They were given 6 months, and then they would be sent out on their own. Rita worked hard to train them to survive in the wild by themselves. Without the pack, they would have to work twice as hard to survive. The other wolves would not help, so Rita was the only one helping them. She shared her food, her den, and anything she could offer to help them. But then, when the pups were only 5 months old, Rita was due to have another litter. Melanie and Lucius were chased out of the pack by their father so that Rita could focus her energy on the new litter. The two were terrified, and they didn't know what to do. They traveled for days and days, only finding small mammals, berries, and carcasses to eat. Then, a huge blizzard came. They looked everywhere for a shelter, until finally they found an old cave. They both stayed in the cave overnight. When they woke up, they decided to venture deeper into the cave. What they found was amazing. They entered a large room. A waterfall of warm water ran out of a hole in the cave wall, as it trickled onto the rocky floor, making a small stream. Shrubs, moss and grasses of every kind grew there, giving the stone floor a soft carpet. The top of the cave seemed to be made of a clear stone, which on clear days let in warm rays of sun. But with the storm, the sky was gray and dark. But still, they could see. The heat of the spring that came out of the wall made the cave a mini green house, keeping it warm year round. Melanie and Lucius were overjoyed. They both decided to live there and make it there home. They named it Höhle des endlosen Wassers, or Cave of the endless water. There was a single Oak tree that grew in the middle of the cave. It was completely hollow, but yet it was still alive. They made their den in the tree. It was right next to the river, so they could eaisily reach the water if they needed it. There were small animals everywhere that feasted on the plentiful food. Lucius and Meanie had plenty to eat because of all of these animals, and they could eat all of the berries that surrounded the tree. They lived there for years and years, but they never seemed to age. Then, they discovered that the water seemed to freeze time, like it was magical. They eventually decided to go back, and to find their mother so that she could live there with them. But when they arrived at their old camp, there was only one wolf. His name was Kiefer, meaning Pine. He was the last wolf of the pack. All of the others had perished from the harsh winters. Both of the young wolves were devastated. Everyone they had known, besides each other, had perished. Kiefer and Melanie instantly bonded, but Lucius was still wary of him. But, they eventually decided to let him stay with them.

I would like to adopt!
Number: 6
Picture: Image
Name: Blossom
Species: Bobtail dog
Personality: Loves playing in the snow(if there is any at the time) and enjoys going swimming with her pals. Also has a slight bit attitude around her enemies
Likes: Maple syrup( spelling? ) kittens, and peace signs
Dislikes: Getting shots(vet clinic) and being lied to
Background:

This part of the story, is what happened when Blossom was just a tiny pup

When Blossom was born, she was mentally blind, no one knew what was wrong with her. She would cry when she was hungry, and her father would nudge her to her food, but she was blind, so she couldnt see it. Both her mother and father were worried. Blossom's mom decided, "She is worthless, she cant do nothing, she should just die now" Blossom's father, however, strongly hated the words that came out of the mothers mouth. He growled, picked up Blossom, his poor pup, and through his teeth he said "No, she is something, she can do everything and you should just die, because Blossom is the best thing thats ever happened, even though we have two other pups, she was always my favorite, and always will be" and he stormed off with his precious pup.

Now this part of the story is from Blossom's point of view

I stumbled across the ground and smiled at the maple syrup trees. This was the time of year when me and Dad hunted for syrup for the two of us. He treated me like a queen. But i always wondered why there was no female wolf along with us. Did she die? Did i scare her when i was born? These questions always haunted me, yet i wasnt to brave to ask Dad. I sighed and said to myself, today is the day i ask. He is in a good mood so it should do well.....

I pranced toward our little den and Dad brought the bucket of syrup. I laughed because he stole the bucket a week ago from some silly campers. I thought to myself again, you can do it, over and over again.
Blossom: Daddy?
Father: Yes my precious?
Blossom: Well...um, i hate to ask, but what happened to Mommy?
Father: **drops bucket and stares dead on at his daughters eyes** Are you ready to take what i have to tell you?

I nodded, not thinking if it was bad on my end, and hurtful to Dad.

Father: Well, when you were just a pup, you were mentally blind, which means you thought you were blind. Your mother and i were worried. One day, you wandered into a raccoons home and nearly got killed. Your mother was so scared, that she was angry. She said hurtful things, saying how you were worthless and could do no good to the pack. But i didnt agree. I loved every thing about you, whether you were blind as a pup or not. I said hurtful things to your mother, took you and left.
Blossom: Oh...so i suppose i was a mishap? What ever happened to me, did i stay blind?
Father: You are never a mishap, you stayed blind for quite some time. I was worried still, but i believed in you, i loved you. I took you to a cat. She recalled her name was Dark Angel. I thought it was suspicious, but i didnt care. That cat, it loved you like its own, she used all sorts of medicine to make you finally wake up to see the world. I dont know what or how she did it, but she made you unblind. I loved the cat, since she saved you. Angel only had one request, to see you when you grew up. I was so over excited that i said of course, but she hasnt seen you in years. And since you reminded me, i think we ought to pay her a visit.

I smiled because he was right. I did need to pay Angel a visit, whether she was crazy or not. I ran towards the opening and searched for miles. My Dad tried running after me, but he is getting to old to run. For some reason, i could smell thid cat, though i dont remember meeting her. Finally, after a long day of running, i saw the cat. Her features were amazing. She was a black cat, with a silver tail. She had a silver heart stitched on her thigh. Angel had 3 purple dots under her eye, with a purple scarf to match. The one thing that was shocking, was her devil-like wings. She turned around with the biggest grin on her face.

Dark Angel: Hello dear child! You must be Blossom? I remember helping you do much! Made you un-blind, and oh did your father tell you i nursed you? Oh that was quite a surprise for him to ask! I thought you were never going to come see me. But you wouldnt do that, your to sweet and whatnot! And how are you my dear?
Blossom: Hi Angel. Im perfect,thanks for asking. You seem excited to.
Dark Angel: Oh yes im very excited to see you. Who wouldnt after nursing a pup who they felt as they're own.
Blossom: Oh...well i must storm off. Im sorry, my dad must be worried again.
Dark Angel: Yes yes he would be worried. Go on now child, but come back soon.

I ran toward home to see my poor Dad bawling over me. I smiled and jumped over him. He was happy again. He gave me that look that meant, you should so be in trouble, but i love you to much. Then he fell asleep, and i sat next to him and fell asleep.

I woke up the next day to see Dark Angel's warming face. I was sorta shocked to be in her home again...but she quickly said before i could think

Dark Angel: Your father is very busy and took you to me when you fell asleep. It meant no harm, just he has something up his sleeve which i find odd.
Blossom: Very busy....? No wonder he fell "asleep" quickly. And something up his sleeve? What is it...?
Dark Angel: Yes very busy.

I felt something is going on. Angel is acting suspicious, and Dad is acting different. What is going on? She isnt interested in telling me, so i might as well find out myself. But she is always eyeing me, and i think she is reading my thoughts. She looks at me and now i know she can read minds. She chuckled to herself and flew off to get something.

I decided to fall asleep, since there is no chance to escape, nor would i find out what dad is doing..i quickly fell asleep to the drip dropping of a nearby waterfall.

I woke up to see tons of faces. Dark Angel, Dad, and another wolf who looked very female-like. I growled at the female wolf and she started backing up. My father, Angel and all the forest critters around looked dead on at my face.

Blossom: Who are you?
Female wolf: You dont recognize me?
Blossom: No, and if i did, i would still maul you. I dont trust any female wolves unless they are my age.
Female wolf: I am your mother.

I didnt care. She was worthless to me, since i was worthless to her. Who cares? I hate her.

Blossom: Why are you here?
Mother: For your birthday, today was the day you were born. Your two brothers were born a day before you.
Blossom: My...birthday....?
Mother: Yes, why else would i be here?
Blossom: Yeah, why would you be here. You probably had another litter with that thing **i pointed to the ugly wolf in the corner**
Mother: He is not ugly. We had a beautiful litter

I didnt care anything about her, her ugly mate, or my stupid half-siblings. I walked away. My birth was bad, i was born blind. Whats to celebrate? The worst part of my life? I fell asleep on the ground. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

I woke up to see Mom and Dad arguing. I could make out the words, but it was somewhat hard to hear

Mom: Why could my first daughter hate me so much?
Dad: You fool! You cared nothing about MY daughter. You said yourself she was worthless, but she is worth more than the world could describe.
Mom: I will get her to love me. If she wont, i will take action.
Dad: **growls** Leave, now.
Mom: Never
((Dark Angel appears and drugs mother. She falls asleep and Angel takes her to her own pack))

I creeped forward to my dad. I didnt say nothing but was shocked to see what i saw, but glad my mother left. I growled at the wind meaning she better not come back. But she was the least of my troubles. Ha, you think that she was the only problem? Well i had thought so, but then i saw the orange eyes of my oldest brother. He pounces out, very cat-like and tackles me. I bite his nose and kick him away. He gives those puppy eyes, but i growl. His fur seemed very grey-ish blue like his ugly father. My father was better than his. He had a silly band aroundhis leg that said "Sky"

Sky: You sick twisted monster!
Blossom: Go away you ugly dog, im no monster, look in the mirror.

He walked away satisfied with himself. Even though he epicly failed. I rolled my eyes and walked away. Him and i were not related. None whatsoever. He smiled again and ran into the bushes. My dad was talking to Dark Angel in a hushed voice. I didnt care. I took care of that stupid mutt, and dad took care of the other. I fell back asleep, pretending that it was a dream.

I woke up the next morning to see my poor dad sleeping. I walked out to see the same orange eyes. I was going to growl, but who cares. Im tired, hungry, and Sky is not on my mind. To bad he jumped out to my face. I was about to bite him and kill him, but something tells me not to.

Sky: Hello
Blossom: Uhh....go away....
Sky: **growls but chokes it back in** I came to apologize
Blossom: Why, you ugly mutt?
Sky: I had thought about it, my mother forced me to. I tried telling her, its wrong.
Blossom: Yeah right, well go tell our hideous mother i said "Go away and dont manipulate your children"
Sky: **nods** I will tell her.

Before he left, he turned around, licked my cheek, and walked away with a grin on his face. Stupid dog. But, somehow, i enjoyed it. I shook my head and told myself no. Im to young.

This part of the story is a small backround in the past years

Over the past years, i grew from a tiny blind pup, an immature bad-mouthed pup, then now, a mature, young female. I was proud of myself. My dad and i were basically the same. We ran into a couple humans over the years. But we usually stole their stuff: toys, food, kitchenware, and all sorts of stuff.

3 years later......

I ran fast to catch that squirrel. I jumped, and caught it. It smelled so good. I nearly inhaled its scent. I smiled that i caught it. I pranched towards my proud father and dropped the squirrel at his feet. He nudged it to me to eat, but i shook my head no. I can catch all the kill i want, as my father is getting to old to. I will catch all the kill he needs.

I went to catch more prey, until i ran into that stupid mutt, Sky. He was all grown, just like me. His bright smile made me smile, but i quickly turned it into a frown. I knew Sky loved me now. I hated it. I dont believe in love unless its from Angel or Dad.

Sky: Hello beautiful
Blossom: Hey ugly

He frowned. His mind was probably racing talking to, as he puts it, a beautiful queen. He sat down and looked in my eyes. I closed my eyes so he couldnt look. Since my other senses are better than my eyesight, i can tell his every move. He leaned forward and took a step. He was about to kiss me. I didnt care. I couldnt help i loved him, but im tried so hard to be rude. He was about to kiss my cheek, ha, but i took a step back and he fell on his face.

Sky: Ow you monster!
Blossom: Yeah yeah, whatever. Go chomp on someone else's face YOUR kind.
Sky: **frowns** Might as well find a prettier dog.

I walked away hearing Sky's footsteps down to the river. I heard rocks slipping and whimpers. I tried not turning around, but i did. I ran towards it to see Sky about to fall down the waterfall. I grabbed the scruff of his fur and pulled him up. He fell on me and our lips met. Gross. He got off and stood back, prepared to see my angry. But i didnt. I somewhat blushed. I growled at myself. He smiled at me and seeming to say thanks. He walked away, a different direction. I turned around to go home to see my Dad's shocked face.

He was angry, ran toward me, very fast might i add, and grabbed me. He pulled me inro the cave.

Father: Why the h*** did you do that?
Blossom: I didnt, i helped him and he landed on me. I hate him and everything about him.
Father: You better. I dont want to associate with the pack. It brings bad memories.

I nodded and felt bad i lied. I loved Sky. Everything about him, his looks, his eyes, his personality, and especially...his voice.
I shook my head. I have to hate him, i told my dad. I didnt fall asleep that night. I stayed awake and stared at the night sky and stars.

The next day, i was still awake. I guess thinking through the whole night helped. I now have the thought of hating Sky and all his family. My dad came up to me wondering what was going on.

Father: Hey Blossom. You okay?
Blossom: Yes, im okay. I heard some nearby campers. They are roasting marshmallows tonight
Father: **chuckles** Alright, i suppose we can go take the marshmallows.
Blossom: Or just scare them off
Father: **smiles** Yes, that could work. Well, i think you should visit Angel again. She is worried sick
Blossom: Okay, just promise to relax more

I walked this time to her house. Since it was morning, there was no need to run. By the time i was nearly there, i heard a piercing shreek, the sound of Dark Angel's. I darted toward her house to find that she was dead. I saw Sky, his brother, and my awful mother. They had killed Angel, my seeming to be, mother. I growled and behind me was my Dad. We crept up to the dogs and tried gettng them. Thanks to Dad, i can kill easily, and i got my hands on Sky's younger brother. The young wolf was begging to live. I bet Dark angel was, so i felt no mercy, and snapped his leg. His small wolf voice screamed of pain. I dragged the wolf pup and father scared the other two off. After that, he grabbed Angel and we left.

I threw the pup on the ground. I was about to kill it, but i have to good of a soul to do that. Its eyes were huge. It seemed to look somewhat like me. But it didnt. It had a shark tooth necklace that said Sharp. What a terrible name. Then it started fumbling out words that i could barely understand him

Sharp: Please dont kill me! It wasnt my fault! They told me to, to kill the poor kitty. I didnt want to, they said if i didnt help them, they would kill me and you two! **crys** please, please dont kill me!
Blossom: I dont care if you dont want me to kill you, nor do i care if you didnt want to help. She is dead and thats it. She was like the mother i never had.

I could tell Sharp felt bad. Then i ran back to Dark Angels home. She had shown me a device to bring things back to life. I ran back home. It was nearly time to scare the campers off. I put it next to Angel and pressed start. Then, you could see her eyes opening, her heart racing, and so much more. She stood up, and hugged me.

Dark Angel: Thank you Blossom, i shall get sleep. I will watch this pup. Go now, take the marshmallows.

I nodded and Dad and i went to the campsite. We scared the campers off, and ate marshmallows. We were walking home, feeling great, things were all good until we got home.

I saw that mutt, Sky. He was torturing Sharp, and poor Dark angel with that loving heart, kept trying to save the puppy. But i could tell it was almost to late. I now felt bad for that little guy, and i didnt care anything about Sky. So, i tackled the dog and let my dad help Angel and Slash get away. While they were running, Sky kept on squirming and biting me. After they left, he settled down, and made no movement. He stared in my eyes, hoping i wouldnt do anything bad.

Sky: Hello love
Blossom: Hello demon
Sky: **frowns** Why would i be that?
Blossom: You nearly killed that pup! The poor thing, he was more honest than you idiot thing!
Sky: He deserved it. Shouldnt be telling others they dont need to know.
Blossom: Then leave

Sky frowned, but who cares, he hurt an innocent pup. I let him go once again, but oh well. I went to Dark Angel's house to see them cuddled together asleep. All except Dad. His bright blue eyed glowed in the dark, watching me. I know he didnt say anything since the other 2 were sleeping. My dad smiled and fell asleep. I made sure that they werent injured or anything through out the night. Not much happened except watching the bats and owls fly by. I stared at my 3 favorite people, yes including Sharp. I felt he deserved a nicer name, maybe Blaize will do.

I saw them wake up happily. I smiled everytime they happened to yawn. It made ME feel happy. To know they are alive. Better yet, safe, or as i hope they stay safe. But one thing that irritated me, is that the pup seemed grateful to be alive everyday, but yet sad to live. Probably since he was always tormented. I told him to come here.

Sharp: Yes?
Blossom: I think you deserve a better name.
Sharp: Like what? Something cool!

I smiled from his excitement, but he hesitated when i first told him. He was bouncing and his face was bright and full of happiness. Maybe his depressing-ness and sadness was there from his awful name.

Blossom: I was thinking the name Blaize. That cool enough for ya?
Sharp: Oh i love that name! It is beyond cool for me.
Blossom: Alrighty then, then i declare your name is Blaize. You will only respond to the name, Blaize, from now on
Blaize: Yay! Thank you so much Blossom!

I was happy for the little guy. Except for the fact that he suffered a pretty bad life, while my dad took me away from it, so i wouldnt suffer. I knew i had a descision to make, whether it was good or bad.

I kept on walking back and forth in the night. I watched the puppy sleep. I knew what i had to do. I was going to raise him. I was about "14" in human years, as they say. The puppy was only a year old. I pushed my dad over to tell him.

Blossom: Dad, dad. Wake up.
Father: Zzzzzzzzz
Blossom: DAD WAKE UP
Father: Huh? Oh hi hun. You okay?
Blossom: Yes, i have made a descision, im keeping the pup, i will raise him myself.
Father: Your to young
Blossom: No im not. You were about 16 in human years when mom was pregnant.

He was quiet for a few. He knew i was right. I stared at the sky and sat down. Blaize was mine now. No one will take him away from me.....ever. Dad fell asleep without giving me an answer, and i wasnt going to wake him up again. I layed down and fell asleep.

I woke up to see Blaize's sweet puppy eyes. I was happy, to raise him. I sighed with happiness and sadness. My poor puppy looked at me confused.

Blaize: Whats wrong mommy?
Blossom: **sighs** Im just happy, but im sad that i dont have a mate
Blaize: Oh....well im going to bug the kitty

I smiled and watched him go. I also laughed because he called me "mommy." I needed a mate, or someone else to help me with Blaize. But i knew my dad wouldnt, or couldnt, help me raise a puppy. Especially since its not my own. I wouldnt ever choose Sky. He hurt blaize, and my, feelings. That stupid dog.....

I knew i had to find a mate soon. Whether i liked it or not. Or if he is temporary, maybe even if i hate him.

________________________________________________________________________________

I would like to adopt!

________________________________________________________________________________



_____________

Number :: Three

Picture :: Shown above

A picture you drew :: (Optional; this will only get extra credit. You still must fill out the rest of the form. Colored in LINEART is NOT acceptable; you must draw your OWN art without aids.)

Theme Song :: What Faith Can Do by Kutless
_____________

Name :: Ming Yue

Language of Origin :: Chinese

Pronunciation :: Mingh - You

Meaning :: Bright Moon

Other Aliases :: N/A

Age :: Twelve Years
_____________

Species :: Smili

Sex :: Male

Height ::

Weight ::

Physical Appearence ::
_____________

Relationship Status :: Single

Mate :: N/A

Cub(s) :: N/A

Father :: Mu Dewei - meaning, "Admired of Great Principle"

Mother :: Jia Li - meaning, "Good and Beautiful" (Deceased; Jia Li was not Ming Yue's mother of birth)

Sibling(s) :: Xia - meaning, "Glow of the Sunrise" (Deceased)

Friend(s) :: N/A

_____________

Personality :: Despite all that he has gone through, Ming Yue tries to retain a positive attitude and not wallow in self-pity. He doesn't try to put himself on a pedestal because he doesn't see himself as better than anyone else. As a downside to that, he can tip the scale the opposite way and become a little depressed and upset with himself at times. Ming Yue is not quick to judge or quick to become angry, rather he abounds in compassion - especially, for those who have experienced similar fates as he - and patience.

Likes ::
|.| Being male ;; Silly as it seems, Ming Yue relishes in this and the roles and characteristics that accompany it.
|.| Being a provider ;; Before the death of his mother and younger sister, Ming Yue would join his father in hunting for food and other occassional jobs to provide for the family. However, now he is not in a position to do this, but he hopes that someday he may become the mate, provider, and possibly father to a family of his own.
|.| A challenge that tests him in the physical, metal, and emotional ;; Ming Yue believes that if you aren't out to better yourself, then you will just fall into a lifestyle of physical and moral decay.
|.| Family ;; Ming Yue loves his family and can't wait to have one of his own. In this respect, he can get carried away easily if there happens to be any wandering female he finds attractive. He recognizes this now and tries to be more intentional if he sees admirable character traits that would suit him and a potential family. However, there are still times where Mu Dewei steps into to talk some sense into his son.

Dislikes ::
|.| Tension between family members, especially when he feels caught in the middle of it ;; after Yan left Mu Dewei (Yan was Ming Yue's birth mother & his father's original mate) this feeling ceased, but it was usually present after Mu Dewei heard of Yan's betrayal of trust and fidelity.
|.| Moths ;; Ming Yue feels like he attracts these creatures and finds them pests. They flutter senselessly about his face and though he doesn't like cause the death of anything unnecessarily, he will not hesitate to take a fore paw and slap them into the ground. He has zero tolerance.
|.| Hot, humid, and muggy weather ;; If it gets too warm for him, Ming Yue will ascend to higher altitudes until the air cools off in the evening.
|.|

Background :: (Optional, though most adopters fill this part out and it is used as the main attraction in the judging of form. 2,500 words maximum, 100 words minimum. Quality of content is valued over the quantity of words.)

Tragedy, noun, a serious play with an unhappy or disastrous ending brought about by fate, moral weakness in a character, etc.

My father had always told us that life was the grandest play of all. . . but, I doubt he ever saw what was coming. After all, no one can. We just stumble blindly, run without caution, and dance with naiveté in the play that is our life. Would knowing our future be any better? I have asked myself that question more times than I care to admit. Something within me can't seem to let go of the past and move on. It was different then. . . so much has changed.





{{For easy reference :: Lower elevations have a humid subtropical climate with mean annual temperature around 18°C (64°F) and mean annual precipitation of at least 220 cm (86.6 in). Cooler, wetter conditions prevail at higher altitudes and winters can be snowy on the highest peaks. Broadleaf evergreen forests dominate the lower elevations; their tree species yield to deciduous and needleleaf evergreen trees at higher elevations. Bedrock lithology at Wuyi Shan is dominated by tuff, rhyolite, and granite in the western part. Red sandstone is common farther east. The elevation ranges from 200 m (656 ft) to 2,158 m (7,080 ft). The terrain is rugged with cliffs and high peaks.

They are occasionally even trained as helpers for the disabled, or to do certain jobs, such as help out in librarys and other small- scale tasks.
Their coats are usually coloured in one or multiple shades of brown, and occasionally black or white. Most are born with wings but occasionally a genetic mutation will cause the wings to be smaller or not to develop at all.
Few exist in the wild as they have evolved to live alongside and with the native Faerie folk, but the few that do are said to be very secretive, solitary and gentle.
Their diet consists mainly of berries and other vegetable matter, and occasionally small insects. They will, however, eat practically anything that's left out, and are especially fond of cakes and biscuits.
In nature they are very playful and usually gentle, though they are also often irritable, especially among females of the species.


Personality:
Ginger loves people. She loves being around them, loves talking to them (and, indeed, to herself if there is no-one around) and loves pickpocketing them. She is incredibly mischevious and delights in stealing small objects from visitors and hiding them around the house, and then watching them search. She is perhaps unusually intelligent among her breed, and can speak Faerie very well.
She is fond of her owner and enjoys her job as a library assistant. She is loved by the visitors and enjoys the attention greatly.
She is also rather greedy, though she is very active so hasn't got fat (yet). Iced cakes and biscuits are her favourites.


Likes:
Food, people, singing, flying. She likes the day and the sun, but she is comfortable in the night too, as long as she is inside and warm. She loves her owner and is extremely loyal to him. Playing is her main hobby, especially chase with a small flying insect (this game usually ending with the insect being eaten).

I would like to adopt!

--

Number: #19
Picture: Image
--

Name: Hoja
Pronunciation: HO.ha
Meaning: Leaf
Language: Spanish
Nickname: Ho

--

Species: Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi)
Origin: ?Mexico?
Family: Canidae
Genus: Canis
Status: Extinct in the wild

--

Personality: Calm, protective, and quiet. He is very strong and powerful, so he's afraid to harm those he is close to. He blames himself for family deaths, and can hold a grudge for years. When he is angry, his wrath is terrible to behold, but he is wise enough to know when things are unjust. He has always had a deep hatred of humans, after they shot his sister, then stole his mate. Knowing that someone has done wrong has never been enough for Ho. He is the kind of wolf who won't rest until he has the revenge he seeks and protects those he loves.
Likes:
Family. The most meaningful thing in Ho's life.
Running. He can get away from his troubled life, doing what Mexican wolves do best.
Hunting. He relishes the chance to let his fury out on a living thing, but he never kills unless he has a good reason.
Dislikes:
Humans. They came so close to destroying his entire world.
Colmillo, his brother. Colmillo killed their father, and plotted with the humans to kill their sister, and capture their mother and Ho's mate. He blames Ho for his loss of an eye, because it was Ho who he had been playing with as a pup when a fox found them and ripped the eye out of his face.
Background:

I huddled closer to mom as she cried. It hurt to to see her so powerless. Hurt hurt hurt hurt. Cacao was dead. Colmillo was gone. I had mother, she had me. We had each other. But that was all. Hurt. Mom got to her feet and flicked the tears from fer eyes in a rather clumsy way. She licked my deep, deep scratches, and began to cry again. She hurt too. I could tell. I licked the torn skin on her shoulder, and she pulled me to her. She had me. I had her. But I knew one thing was my responsibility. I picked up my dead sister and carried her to her nest under the little bush with flowers on it. But there were no flowers now. They had died too. Will they grow back? Will Cacao grow back? I dug. I dug and it hurt. My claws were torn and my pads were bleeding when Mom came. She dug too, then we got a good hole. I put my sister in the hole and sat in it next to her.
'No.' Mom breathed a big sigh.
'Mom, I will stay stay with Cac and I will.'
She lifted my gently and placed me next to the hole.
'Say goodbye, Ho. You won't see her again.'
I licked Cacao's cheek and then Mom's, then gently arranged the earth over my sister.
'Goodbye.'

Number: 3

Name: Tabananica,which means Hears The Sun Rise in Native American
Species: Smili(Species by Spotty)
Personality: Tabana is a very silent,isolated,unkind Smili. She has no desire to interact with other Smilidons,nor does she have desire to stray far from her bright desert burrow. Her sense of hearing is highly adapted to the quiet scuttles of snakes and mice. Though she prefers larger prey she settles for what she cat find. She loves water because of the fact that she lives in the desert and gets so little of it. She hates having her ears touched because of their sensitivity. Tabana is pretty brave,she has no fear of snakes as she was bitten by one when she was young and she ended up killing it. Snakes fascinate her and so do fish. She thinks it is the scales that make her crazy for them but you can never be sure. She takes killing animals seriously and hates to do it except for food. She occasionally kills a burrowing owl,but as with all creatures,she prays to the heavens for the life of the animal so it can feed her and keep her healthy and fed.
Likes: Snakes,owls,fish,water,deserts,hot areas,rocks,cacti,and the sun or anything that is yellow/orange/red really.
Dislikes: Not a dislike,but she isn't fond of other Smili. She dislikes having her ears touched,dogs/canines,spiders,slimy and sticky things,and killing animals.
Background :
Tabananica lives in the desert region of North America somewhere in the deserts scattered along the east coast. Most of her home is underground in a burrow,but the tunnel system made not by her,but by a fox or owl,leads into a cave with a small pool of water in it,the cave is a cool get away from the hot desert days. There are several simple paintings on the walls of the caves,one of a dead owl's spirit floating up to the heaven,and one of an odd array of sharp rocks. Even Tabana has no idea what they meant,the idea flowed to her as she began to create the art. She keeps many of the snake and lizard sheddings she finds and lays them out or puts them in piles. Often dividing them into colors and patterns,or creating her own pattern. Her days consist mostly of searching through the rocks on her adapted pads,her sensitive ears pricked for the first sound,the first scuttle of prey or the heartbeat of an enemy.
Tabananica dislikes other smilidon,for when she was young,she was outcast because of her odd markings. The day she was outcast she earned the two small marks under the fur on her shoulder that she will never forget about. Her snake bite. The snake was a swirly array of browns,dusky grays and blacks-ish whites.

I L-O-V-E love these donations this round. It was SO hard to pick.

I would like to adopt!
Number: 22

Name: Chase, the sweetest reindeer
Species: Reindeer
Personality: Chase is a very friendly reindeer. He is almost always happy and it's very rare to see him sad. He loves people and acts very friendly to just about any person or animals. Chase enjoys long naps and will eat anything yummy. His even temper also lets him pull sleighs for sleigh rides in the winter and around the holidays.
Likes: Snow, Mints, Candy Canes, Grass, Water, Ice, Mountains, Christmas, Other Reindeer, Star Gazing, Art, Painting, and Love.
Dislikes: Abuse, Summer, Storms, Junk Food, Holiday Haters, A Night Without Stars, House Pets (Mice, Cats, Dogs, etc.), and Hot Weather.
Background:
-Dream a Dream of Happiness-
Candy? Candy all around me? I must be dreaming! Chase looked around and all he saw was candy. Candy Canes the size of telephone poles! Marsh Mellow paths that stretched as far as the eye can see! He could hardly believe it! He bit into one of the Peppermints that lined the road and paused. Wood? The pepper mint tasted like wood! He was out raged. Just then he heard to a raged yell...
"Chase! How many times have I told you? Wood is not for eating!" Chase awoke. He looked around. Darn it. he thought and looked around. He was in his stall, as usual and was leaning against one of the board, chewing on it. He spit out the remaining wood chunks still in his mouth and looked over to the sky. I missed the stars again? Chase loved star gazing, but he had a hard time staying up to look at them.
Breakfast rolled around and Chase at his feed happily and ate some hay after he finished. His handlers came and put his red halter on. He jingled as he walked down the aisle because his halter had bells on it, which he loved. His handler let go of his halter and he pranced to his favorite spot in field: right under a tree with a nice view of the mountains. He stuck his muzzle through the blanket of snow that had fallen last night and began munching on some grass. Snow softly fell around Chase and his walked through the field. He saw some other reindeer around him, but he normally stays by himself, so he did. He nibbled on some more grass and then layed down for his afternoon nap.
When Chase awoke, it was late and the snow had stopped falling. His food bucket was to the right of where he was napping. He ate it happily and decided to walk back to his favorite spot in the field, since he wasn't going into the barn for the night. When he got there, his spot had some other reindeer standing there. He gave a long reindeer call and they all scattered. He then looked up at the sky. The stars are out! he thought excitedly and he layed down to look at them.
Chase's days continued like this until one month later when the holidays rolled around.
Chase was laying in a large meadow surrounded by flowers of all colors. He rolled around on his back and then onto his stomach. he put his head down and sniffed the flowers right next to his head. Just as he looked up, the sky became dark and stars filled it. Snow began to fall. This is like a dream come true! Chase thought, as he gazed up at the stars. Then he heard the crunching of footsteps coming and the large shadow they belonged to.
Chase woke up. Ugh. He thought as he stood up. His handler came and clipped a rope to his red halter. Chase walked next his handler as the made the long walk up to the barn. She put him in his stall and moments later, came back with his bucket of food. "Your workin today, Chase." and she dumped the small, black bucket into a larger red bucket. He stuck his head into the shallow bucket and ate his morning feed. That's the only problem with Holidays: Everyone wants sleigh rides from reindeer. Chase thought as he ate. Chase's even temperament made him idle for sleigh rides.
Later that day, Chase awoke from his afternoon nap and was lead out into the aisle where they put all his harnesses and bells on him and hooked him up to the sleigh with one other reindeer, Lance. Their handler cracked the whip and Chase and Lance went into a prance evenly matching each others step. They pranced through the trail, snow falling around them and snow crunching under their hooves. The people in the sleigh were amazed by the look of the forest in the winter and how nice the reindeer looked, which made Chase hold his head up higher.
A while later, Chase's sleigh team returned to the barn and the next group of people got on. Chase and Lance continued prancing on the same trail for the rest of the night. When they got back, after their last group of people were finished with their ride, Chase's handler took off both Chase and Lance's gear and put them back into their stalls. Chase was greeted by soft, new bedding in his stall. His handler returned with her usual black feed bucket and she walked into Chase's stall and dumped it into his shallow, red feed bucket like she normally did and Chase ate it as usual. After he ate, Chase layed down in his stall and fell asleep quickly after a long day of work.
Chase gave sleigh rides almost everyday throughout December until Christmas came around.
Chase was laying on a big, fluffy, white cloud, looking up at the sky. There were lots of stars in the sky and the stars were out. That cloud looks like a candy cane. He thought as he lied on his back. And that one looks like a sleigh. These clouds looked like all of his favorite things! There were ones that looked like candy and there were others that looked like Evergreen Trees. As he gazed, snow softly fell around him. The sky became brighter and the stars faded away. The clouds departed and Chase began falling. He woke up.
Chase was laying on his back in his stall, just as he had fallen asleep last night. He stood up and looked out the back entrance. Snow was falling fast outside. He looked around at the stalls next to him and across from him. Directly across the isle was Lance. Next to his stall on the left was a female reindeer from one field over from his, Molly. He had met her before, but only once. To his right was another male reindeer whom he'd never met.
Chase's handler came by with his morning feed and dumped it in his red bucket. He ate it fast and then the handler came by again and took him out into the field. Chase was barely out there for 10 minutes before he was covered in snow! He looked around and he couldn't see anything. His handler came back again after about 30 minutes and led him back inside. "Sorry about that bud. The snow's falling too fast to be outside. Your gunna get buried!" She led him back into his stall. Moments later she came back with a stocking with "CHASE" written on it and hung it on his door.
When night fell, the snow had stopped falling so hard and was now softly falling. His handler came by with his feed and to his surprise, she put bits of peppermints and candy canes in it! Chase ate the feed very quickly and then looked down the aisle. There were kids all up and down the aisle putting candy and treats into the stockings. A lot of little kids dropped stuff into Chase's stocking and he was ready to eat everything in it!
Later, all the kids left and his handler came back and gave Chase one of the candy canes he had received from the little kids. He ate it happily and the handler walked away. Chase had had one of the best Christmases he had ever had. Tomorrow, all the work would be over and he could return to his quiet days out in the field. He couldn't wait!
Chase continued his days as his happy self and he continues to love star gazing, dreaming, and of coarse, candy!
