Question: Does Clover & Kit live with Jade?

Kit lives with her owner. Jade lives with his and Clover's owner. Jade owners lends him to lead the mail team on their runs, so he isn't own by the mail company

Oh, OK. Who was selling the pups, Kit or Jade's owners?

I would say Kit's owner, since she is the mother

*phew* then, here come my bio!

Name: Pearl by parents, Theresa (Tess) by owners, both names are fine for her
Gender: (given) female
Parents: Kit and Jade
Siblings: Added after the contest

Personality: Pearl is a very kind girl, she is very active and never tired, she seems to have a never ending charge inside her, sometimes even her owners wonder when she will finally calm down a bit, gets excited for almost everything, the snow when winnter comes, the falling leaves during autumn, a sled dog race, everything! Like her mother she is very helpful and cannot ingore someone that needs a paw, even if it's for something stupid, like maybe catching a fish in a creek, she really cannot she others suffer, sometimes, she believes that everything should be good but when she faces the reality of the life, she gets disappointed and tries to cheer herself up infact she tries to be a positive girl, if you talk to her about something rather hard or something that needs a moment to reason up, she probably won't listen, mostly because she doesn not like complicated things, not because she's dull or not intelligent, if you talk about something too much for her, she would just say "Woha! Woha! Stop there please, my mind doesn't reach those levels pal!" and she would say it chuckling, not serious or mad, she knows her limits, she is often sees with a smile on her face, a happy go lucky girl but when she's left alone, she uses that time to think about what she would do the day after or probably just meditating about something that she doesn't even understand, that's the only moment you'll see her with a serious face, one last thing, she is scared of thunderstorms, as I aid, she knows her limits, but during a storm, she totally looses her mind and will do everything to find a place where she can hide.

Likes: her family, she finds comfort in her family, that's why they're very important to her, also she likes doing something because she can't sit on a corner with nothing to do, she likes the wind, one of her favourite things to do is sitting near the ocean, on the beach when it's windy, she totally loves the feeling of the wind on her fur and it's normal to see her doing that for hours, until she's tired or the wind's gone.
Dislikes: thunderstorms, that's her fear, she goes crazy during one and may do something stupid to find a safe place, also she doesn't like mean or rude dogs, expecially after what happened to Clover and Clover's mom, she has the fear, not to end up like them, killed or pregnant, that's why she is often see with her closest friends and not alone, expecially if she has to walk in a dark street or if she has to come into town during the night.

History: Pearl was born in a quite large litter and during the games with her siblings, she was the only girl that was never pinned down by her siblings, she didn't wanted attention, she could see that she and her siblings were quite a large number but she had always all the attention that she wanted. She wasn't skinny and thin, she was very well built, a dog that could handle very high weights and the man that adopted her decided that she would be a good dog for blind people. That's where Pearl was renamed Theresa or Tess for the friends, her training was intense, she had to concentrate a lot and, honestly, during the first months of training, she hadn't really understand what was all that training for; luckily a dog, to be honest, few months older than her, introduced the topic of "Dogs for blind people" but since Tess was looking at him with a confused face, he explained the meaning of that work and the young lady was proud for being trained to do such a beautiful thing! After that, the dog disappeared. Tess met him again while she was going to her mother's house, the young male was traped on a corner, dogs were laughing at him, she decided to wait before going closer because she remembered what her father taught her about male dogs, so she just observed the scene that made her really mad: the dog that explained her her work that morning was being beaten up and laughed by a small group of dogs that luckily left the place soon. She immediatly run to the dog, asking him if everything was fine and, surprising for Tess, he stood up without problems, he had floppy ears, green eyes and was mostly gold and cream, he thanked her ofr caring for him but she noticed that he wasn't that friendly and asked him the reason of being so cold and he rudely told her that if she was there to make more fun of him, she could just do it and go away. Tess was very shocked of this, her mother told her to be kind and gentle with everydog, expecially the ones that may need a paw and being seen like one of those strays just made her very angry. Luckily things fixed, it was just a misunderstanding and the two befriended. The guy was named Noah, he was often bullied because he wasn't smart enough to be away from troubles but the friendship with Tess changed things for him. But for Tess things weren't that good, expecially at work, since she was still very hyper, she had never passed a test to became a blind people's dog and she was no use anymore and so, she was sold. Tess was scared, mostly because Noah told her that he had the same fate and now, he was living in the streets.Luckily for Tess it wasn't like that. She was bought by a man named Bastian, who already had a dog, a goofy Klee Kai named Shiva, who happens to be Star's daughter (mother is Draco's Estee so, still in Kit and Jade's family tree). Shiva was a sled dog and Tess enjoyed pending time with her, she may looked a bit like her father, but Tess found out how friendly and funny she was. About Noah? Well, Tess never walked in town without him, she liked having him aroung, he is a kind of bodyguard for her and they spent a lot of time together; the young male has a crush on her, everyone is able to see it but Tess? Does she feel the same for him? For the moment, she just considered him as a friend, THE friend.

History (cont): Bastian, seeing that Tess was enjoying so much running with Shiva, wanted to try to make her a sled dog, afterall, Jade was a sled dog in the mail team and Tess' built was acceptable for a running dog. But Tess wasn't so happy about it, it was not for the fact that she didn't like running but because, well, she thought that the sled dog carrer wasn't just for her, she didn't feel comfortable at the idea of her in a sled team. Bastian noticed that she wasn't working very hard while training with him, but he thought that it may be the fact that Shiva wasn't there so he started to train her with Shiva. Things obviusly didn't change. Tess explained to Shiva the reason of her actions and the klee kai understood. Bastian was hopeless, he didn't know what to do with the young dog, he needed to use her as a sled dog but if she didn't cooperate, things probably wouldn't turn good. The solution for his problem came a week later. The human andthe two dogs went for a walk in the woods, Bastian used to do that and the two girls enjoyed it but that day, while they were walking they saw, a bit farther from them, a couple with their kid, doing the same as them, just walking but they were in a valley and, because of a scream of the kid, that fallen in the snow, an avalanche started to run toward them. Bastian and the dogs immediatly ran to help them, luckily it wasn't a big and dangerous avalanche, mostly because there wasn't so much snow but probably enough to make one. Shiva wasn't very helpful, she tried to find the people but it was Tess that saved the three, her training to be a dog for blind people made her very familiar with human's smell and so it wasn't that difficult for her to find out the little family under the snow and she was strong enough to pull them out without Bastian's help. The man, seeing that special ability of Tess decided to talk with a friend that was famous to train some dogs to be a recuing team. Tess got a new job. She fits perfectly, she loved helping people and it was very easy for her to learn everything that Bastian's friend, now her trainer, taught her. Noah wasn't so happy at first, obviusly, having a crush on Tess made him very protective and he worried a lot about her, he thought that she would be hurted or even die under the snow; Tess turned mad the first time that Noah told her this, she was still very excited for having a new job and she didn't accepted that her best friend was against her. So, Tess decided to bring him with her during one of her training, Noah observed her doing everything and he was very amazed to see how good she was. Later, that day, he made her some excuses for being so negative about her job and Tess was finally happy to see that he understood how much that work meant for her. And also, she didn't worked to find people in the snow since there were already a team of dogs and her trainer had a bad experience with his past team in an avalanche, she was used to fins people lost in the woods, in the caves or that fell in a river or waterfall.

How he/she feels about their parents: she is very close to her family, she doesn't want to be separate from them, infact, she had suffered a lot when she was adopted by a human to start her own life, everytime she can, she goes to say hi to her mother and father, asking how things are going; she is more close to Kit than Jade, and loves to tell her mother what happened in her days, if there are news of any kind, she just love talking to her, she finds that "activity" very relaxing and hopes that she doesn't annoy her mother for talking about the same things (yeah, sometime she has nothing new to say, so she tells again some old ones).

How he/she feels about Clover: she likes Clover, she accepts her as a big sister but it was hard for her to imagine her father with another girl instead of her mother; as a pup, she found Clover very funny, she liked having her around, she didn't know they were half sister but she liked the fact that she was similar to her father, when she knew that they were related, she was surely shocked but then, she felt bad for Clover losing her mother in that way and hoped to stay with Kit as long as she could. When she was adopted, Clover was actually the one that noticed how scared to leave her parents she was and explained to the young one how things work, so that she would get a family to spend the time with but when Clover saw that she was still, well, not really happy, she whispered that she will show her the way to see Kit and Jade everyday.

Other: honestly, the first impression with Shiva wasn't that positive, Tess was still mad for being sold by his owner and she was very easilly annoyed, unfortunately for the Klee Kai, her over friendly personality made Tess upset.
A day, while she wa having a walk with Noah, she met a very disturbing dog (at least for her, named Raymond, he pushed Noah away and started to talk to Tess, telling her that he had been abandoned as a pup, that his life was terrible and such things to impress her; Tess immediatly marked that guy as one that her father warned her about, infact she tried to stay neutral and ignore him but he was very insistent and so, that's when she asked her father's help. She told Jade the male's name and when he saw Raymond he told him to stay away from Tess and later on, she discovered that Raymond's parents were two dogs famous in town to be players and she thanked herself for not be fallen on his trick. Thing that disgusted her is that after two days from when Jade yelled at him, Raymond was already haging out with other girls, like if she had never existed.

Name: Saphrina (given by parents) Viviana means 'living' (by owners)

Gender: Female (given)

Parents: Kit and Jade

Siblings: Added after the contest

Personality: Saphrina is a very kind girl, but she is shy. Once you get to know her she is very nice and cheerful, but towards strangers she won't talk very much, get's nervous and is extremely shy. Around her family she is bright, and a bit tomboyish. She is also very helpful and doesn't like to see her friends or family upset. Whenever she can she'll try and find the source of the problem and fix it, which leads her friends to sometimes call her ''Sherlock Bones''. She is also brave and can keep a secret. She will throw her life on the line for her close friends or family.

Likes: Helping, family, friends, her human family, sledding, searching for things (read her history), play restling, playing, food, and walks

Dislikes: Losing, being forced to do something she doesn't want to do, being nagged, being told she's doing the wrong thing, mistreatment, tight spaces and watching others suffer.

History: Out of her brothers and sisters, Saphrina was the quiet one and usually stayed close to one of her parents. When she met up with some other dogs she began to be more outgoing and to wander off where she shouldn't, which often got her in trouble. She hated it when someone scolded her, which she got a lot. She thought that enough was enough and she ran away from home late at night. She soon got tired and decided to rest in an alley. Four big dogs surrounded her and began taunting her. One of them bit her on the neck. Before that same dog could attack again another dog atacked and scared them off. The dog turned to her and told her to go home. Reluctantly she did and curled up by the couch. The next morning as her siblings were playing, they noticed a big mark on her back. They often asked her what was wrong, but she never answered. Later that day she was adopted by a musher. The man trained her to be a good sled dog.

One day while they were racing, a violent blizzard hit. The team swerved off the path and fell down a steep mountain. Saphrina lay unconscious until next morning. By morning the storm passed and Saphrina managed to get up, realizing she had a broken leg. She hobbled back to Nome and collapsed at the starting line. Men went to look for her team, but they all died. She was taken to a vet and got her leg bandaged. She was taken to a pound and kept in a cage for a while. After four days of pound-life she was adopted by a police woman named Sharon Henderson. Sharon had named her Viviana, for her bright and lively personality. Sharon took her home to Juneau, Alaska and Saphrina befriended her two kids. 12 year old Justin and 10 year old Daniella. Sharon and her husband Adam were both police officers, but Sharon worked in the day and Adam in the night.

Once Saphrina's leg healed she was trained to be a search and rescue dog. She and Adam worked together most. One day Adam got a call aobut a boy that was snowboarding down a steep, tall mountain by the edge of the Juneau border. Adam and Saphrina headed out to find him. Once they reached the mountain they found the boys snowboard. They soon realized it was Justin. Adam, now frantic to find his son, looked everywhere. He lost his footing and slipped, falling nearly halfway down the mountain. Saphrina raced to help him. Once she got him to him to his feet he instructed her to go find Justin. An hour later she found him nearly frozen. She barked for Adam's attention and they took Justin to the car. Once they got Justin home, Sharon took him to a hospital to make sure he didn'thave any broken bones. He was fine so she took him back home. Saphrina was too tired to do another search and rescue so she fell asleep on the couch.

Later that night they got a call about a man that was drinking heavily and swerved off of the highway, and that he flew over a few other cars and landed upsidedown on the side of the road. Adam got up and called for Viviana to come with him. It took them twenty minutes to find the man in the dark. When they found him they realized he was badly injured and called for an ambulance. Before the ambulance left the man kept screaming, "My dog! My dog! I can't leave without my dog!" So Adam instructed Vivian to find his dog. Minutes later she found a small Westie puppy in the back whining and barking. Saphrina grabbed the pup and headed back over to them. The ambulance came and EMT's began to load the man into a gurney. The man told Adam to take care of his little Sparky until he got out of the hospital. Adam agreed and took Viviana and Sparky home.

One Sunday, while taking a walk with Sharon, a gang ambushed them, taking Viviana with them. They brought her to a dog fighting ring. Before they let her out do do her first fight, they shook the cage and pounded on it. She growled at them and they sent her out to fight. In the other side of the ring was a huge German Shepherd. A bell rang and the shepherd lunged, it was a miss. Viviana cowered in a corner trying not to get hurt. The shepherd lunged again, getting her in the throat. Viviana tried to get away but just made the pain worse. Then everything went silent when they heard the doors being broken in. A team of police officers had broken in, arresting men left and right. The shepherd dropped Saphrina and ducked back into his cage. Viviana fell to the floor as Adam and Sharon rushed over to her. The next thing she noticed was that she was in the vet. After three days in there she was taken home. She retired and then became a house pet.

How he/she feels about their parents: Saphrina loves her parents very much but sometimes can get her upset. She'll do anything to make them happy and proud of her. She visits them whenever she can, which isn't very often unfortunately. She wishes she could see them more. Then she gets to but is still happy that she can at least see them.

How he/she feels about Clover: Saphrina loves Clover and treats her just like she treats her other family. Though she doesn't always see eye to eye with her, she still respects her.

Other: She wears a brown collar that says Viviana on it. If I get her I will be making a series of Sherlock Bones fanfics.
