-Trooper- Trooper padded through the market whimpering. He had lost where his mother Dawn went off to. He trotted everywhere trying to pick up her scent but found nothing. He walked over to a bench and lay down on it. He sadly watched to see if his mother would show up but still nothing. He whimpered louder hoping a friendly dog would show up to help him. He didn't dare close his eyes because without his mother there was no one to protect him. He had liked adventure and wandered off just for a bit to come back and find his mother gone.

Belle shuffled along she liked it here plenty of things to chase and more than enough to smell, and not just new scents either there were old ancient scents of leather and plastic and food stuffs where'd they'd hit the concrete and sunk in only to be wiped away over time. At the moment though she was trying to catch some dinner an injured rat was scuttling through the stalls.
Over and under pieces of torn paper, garbage and wood from the few broken stalls or carts she wasn't exactly sure which as she followed the rat at high speed she was but a whisker away from catching the slippery little devil when her floppy and troublesome left ear suddenly slipped under her right foot, cartwheeling head over heels and face planting into the ground she slid face first into a cardboard box.
Whimpering slightly she managed to straighten herself up and climb out of the box, sulking with tears in her eyes she sat down and sighed heavily feeling miserably hungry and alone she let out a low eerie howl of sadness believing there was no-one else around who would play with her or look after her or help her catch food she was destined to be alone, she knew it and these feelings made her sadder so she howled louder scaring a few rats from their hiding places. Belle was too upset to bother chasing them though, she lay down instead and continued sulking more quietly with sniffles and whimpers she missed her dead mother greatly and wanted her back if only it was possible she would search the far reaches of the universe for that something to bring back her family or someone to help her find a new one.

Trooper suddenly heard a howl. He went cautiously toward it and whimpered. He saw a femme and he slowly creeped toward her. "H-hello." he said softly. He whimpered again and coward close to the ground wondering if she could help him find his mother.

"Hello" Belle sniffed, taking in a little of troopers scent at the same time his black and tan fur looked inviting and Belle suddenly seemed to calm down as though she was placated by his presence. "Why are you upset?" she asked as she noticed he had whimpered sadly as he'd arrived, Belle too was sad and reminded of this fact she sniffed again sitting up slowly to have a better look at this strange fluffy puppy, her floppy ears dangled to the side as she pointed her large black nose in his direction and took another whiff.
"I'm sad because my mother died... and I'm hungry." she complained, busily sniffing she seemed to like what she could smell and stood up her big feet almost twice the size of her legs with wrinkly socks to match as she crept a little closer to Trooper still trying to smell everything she could suddenly a hair from the ground floated to her, tickling her nose she giggled a little trying not to scare him at the same time, her mother had tried to teach her about the rules of meeting other dogs but Belle had always been too busy playing to pay much attention. "Do you have a mother?" she asked curiosity blazing as she finished her investigation of Trooper and sat back down where she'd been before, Belle lifted one of her paws carefully to wipe the ticklish hair away from her nose but ended up just scratching her ear instead as it flopped into her face.

"I'm upset because I don't know where my mother went" He looked down sadly at his paws. He sniffed the air searching for his mothers scent but found nothing. He then said "Whats you're name? I'm Trooper." He wondered if she had seen Dawn, his mother. He sighed and looked up at her then looked around still no sign of Dawn.

"Ohh, my names Belle..." she answered as she gave up trying to scratch the tickly hair sneezing violently at the end as the ticklish hair proved too much for her to handle, straightening up a little Belle suddenly had an idea. "Hey, I can help... my mum said if i ever got lost I should follow my nose..." Belle added, putting her highly sensitive nose to the floor again in an effort to smell something different.
She knew her own scent, and now had a little of Troopers so if she could find another scent maybe it would lead them to Troopers mother. "where was she last time you saw her?... " Belle asked hoping for a better clue, she hoped Troopers mother was a nice dog although she couldn't imagine anyone hurting a couple of little puppies she'd heard about other mean dogs that killed anyone they came across and was a little worried. As Belle had no one else to look after her though she tried not to worry about it too long, as she hadn't met any dogs like that she assumed she was doing the right thing by staying out of their way.

Trooper saw hope when she offered to help him and he replied "Somewhere around here." He sniffed the air and hoped to see Dawn again soon. He sighed and looked a Belle with hope shining in his eyes.

Sniffing around wildly, Belle searched frantically for a different scent moving this way and then over that way she searched old boxes and crates and stalls weaving in and out like a snake as she sniffed the multitude of rat, food, and dog scents. Suddenly she found something different and howled joyfully bounding off to follow it, "Quick this way I found something!" she answered jumping over a wooden crate with a little bit of difficulty as she tracked the scent towards a narrow alleyway.
The alleyway was a dead end though, and Belle's heart sank as she reached the end to find a lonely little pigeon fluttering about. It took off as Belle came down the alleyway barking angrily at it, she chased it up the walls but it flew over the walls never to be seen again. Belle sat down more depressed than ever if she couldn't find Troopers mother what hope did she have of finding another mother for herself? More determined than ever she stood up sniffing again maybe it was one of the dog scents she'd found before sniffing harder than ever she tried to focus on Troopers scent surely his mother would smell similar and maybe if Belle could find her she'd have a new family.
She always wanted a brother or sister to play with but she never imagined she'd have to find a new mother as well, looking back over at Trooper hopefully she went back to work there was no way she was going to let Trooper lose his mother too even if she had to be alone it wasn't something she would wish for anyone else to go through. "You try... see if you can smell her... like this." Belle added ignoring her previous blunder with the pigeon to give Trooper a lesson in tracking maybe he could find his mother after all he would know what his mother smelled like and if he could find something with her smell on it Belle could track and find her easily.

Trooper did as told and put his nose to the ground then... he picked up a scent! He wagged his tail and said "Come on!" loud enough for any dog around to hear. He ran toward it as fast as he could sniffing the air to make sure he stayed on the right path. When he reached the source of the scent he cried out "Mom! mom I missed you! this is my friend Belle." Dawn turned her head and replied "Trooper!" She ran over to her son and nuzzled him gently. Then she looked over at his new friend and said "It's nice to meet you Belle." She looked around then back at Belle and asked "Where's your mother?" She tilted her head to one side and sat down beside Trooper.

Belle followed Trooper eagerly her droopy ears flopping by the sides of her head as she ran after him, she was glad she was such a good teacher but more than surprised to see Trooper had finally found his mother. "H-Hello..." she answered nervously when Dawn greeted her, unsure of exactly how she should answer the attached question.
Belle hung her head slightly, saddened by her own story her ears falling across her face to block out the inevitable tears to follow. "My mother got sick and died..." she added quietly and to the point she didn't really like to discuss it, and now that Trooper had found his mother she felt kind of out of place even though Dawn was quite pretty and was probably a very good mother Belle noticed Trooper didn't look alot like her except for the fluffy fur as she glanced past her ears to where he was next to his mother.
They both had looked so happy to see each other, all hopes Belle had of finding a new mother or family seemed to disappear to be replaced by nervousness and fear she had been by herself for awhile now and wasn't really used to adults now although she had enjoyed being with Trooper he was the only puppy she'd seen since her mother had died as Belle preferred not to get in the way of others if she could it didn't stop her yearning for a family all her own.

Dawn nodded when Belle finished and replied "Well if you have no place to go you can stay with me and Trooper." Trooper looked up, happy at what his mother had just said. He wagged his fluffy tail and looked at Belle hoping she would stay. Dawn watched Belle, smiling, showing she would be more than happy for her to stay.
ooc: srry for the shortness.....

//ooc sorry for not replying sooner...
Belle lifted her head a little to look at Dawn she was stunned Belle hadn't expected to be asked to join this family, the most she had expected was to still be friends with Trooper at the end of all this. Now she found herself looking at Dawn who seemed happy to have her and then to Trooper who seemed almost busting at the seams with excitement.
A happiness all its all started growing inside Belle and it grew bigger with every heartbeat he tail started wagging wildly from side and then up and down almost in a circle like she was a helicopter ready to take off. She barked happily and ran over to them too overcome for words, her floppy ears proving to be a welcome distraction as she tripped again this time rolling up into a ball of jittery happiness at Dawn's feet only to then unfurl herself in a few seconds.
"I would like that..." she answered finally able to control herself long enough to give one, lifting herself back to her feet she returned to sitting happily with her tail still wagging a little less loudly than it had previously. She looked at Trooper happily now only a few steps away she hadn't imagined ever finding a family again but now she had a brother and a mother possibly more and although now she had no idea what to do with herself she knew there would be many days of playing with Trooper to come which made her tail wag even faster.

ooc its okay by the way wanna join my site? lol
Trooper stood up, and wagged his tail. Then he ran over to Belle and gave her a friendly lick on the cheek. He seemed much younger than he was because of how he was acting. He smiled and barked happily then he play growled at Belle and ran around her. He was happy because it felt as if he was back with one of his sisters. He often wondered what became of them, but now he had a new sister.
Dawn watched them happily and barked to both of them, "Its good to see you both so happy..." Then to Belle she barked, "I will take care of you as if you were my daughter." She wagged her tail, and watched Trooper run around happily like a puppy should. Then she went over to Belle and licked the top of her head with her tail wagging the whole time.

Belle was busily watching Trooper run around when Dawn licked her, and although at first it was a little unsettling Belle didn't seem to mind. She got up and started chasing Trooper as he ran around her being careful not to trip over her own clumsy feet this time she barked happily glad to at last be having some fun.
Belle had many questions though, still running through her head like 'where was Troopers dad' and 'do we have any more brothers or sisters?' but seeing as she was the only left out of her litter and she didn't know who her own father was she let things be figuring she'd get all the answers she needed in time. Besides who could possibly worry about such details with a new brother and mother to play with?
Pausing for a moment from the Trooper chase to scratch an itchy spot on her back, Belle's stomach growled she had forgotten about her hunt for food and the reason she had been upset earlier but was having far too much fun chasing Trooper to bother looking for food now. Chasing after Trooper again, Belle made an attempt to tackle him but only ended up tackling herself and somersaulted over landing on her head by the time she landed though she was laughing she couldn't remember having this much fun or not being upset by tripping herself over but for some reason it didn't matter to her anymore.

A little 3 month old puppt appeared and began to follow the threesome. Feather was an Akita wolf mix and was abandoned by her parents by the age of 5 weeks. She stayed out of sight most of the time. SHe learned that trick from watching other dogs. Being only a pup she had no idea what to make of herself. She was a pitiful sight to see, all skin and bones no meat on her body. Her coat was mangled and dirty. She was an abandoned pup how would she know how to clean herself? Still in hiding Feather watched the femme and the brute pup play and whimpered to herself. Fighting everything she yerned to do the pup watched with sad eyes. Opening her mouth her red tongue with black spots rolled out in a panting motion. She wished she had a mother that cared for her just like the puppies she is watching. Feather almost jumped when her stomach growled her hunger out loud. Terrified she looked at the three dogs and waited for them to notice the poor pup. Nothing happened so she looked at her paws and began to sniff. Tears welling in her green eyes she sat down and watched them more.
