My characters Oscar and Catalina have had their first litter of puppies! What do I want you to do?

Adopt them, of course!


Rules

- NO WHIING, ARGUING, SPAMMING, FLAMING, etc.

- Please, only try for ONE PUP.

- If you have a reputation for adopting a ton of dogs and then posting a topic titled "Old unused characters need homes!!11" with dogs that you adopted yesterday, then you will not get the puppy.

- DO NOT BUG ME ABOUT THE DEADLINE. It comes when it comes.

-Please, post your bio WITH your pic and vice-versa. Otherwise, you will be DQ.


*UPDATE* - If you end up getting the pup you tried for, I expect it to keep up an active relationship with my characters, including but not limited to the pup's parents.



Notes

- The pups are and will remain 1/2 Autsralian Shepherd, 1/2 English Setter.

- THERE IS NO SET DEADLINE at the moment. Go crazy, and be imaginative!

- A long, detailed bio and AT LEAST ONE decent pic will get you Brownie points. Story ideas will not, although I certainly don't mind you adding them.

- At the bottom of the puppy's picture, the number and gender is given. Please keep the puppy's gender, and refer to its number in the bio below.

- At first only THREE of the six pups will be available. As I choose the winners, new pups will be added. So keep checking back!

The third one is MINE. >8D

Name: Eloise
Number: 3(the last pup)
Gender: female
Breed: 1/2 Australian Shepherd, 1/2 English Setter
Parents: Oscar and Catalina(c)Iditarod
Siblings: ?, ?, ?,
Personality:
Eloise was always little Miss Prim and Proper. She inherited her father's fairly attractive personality and her mother's classic wit, though unfortunatly not her common sense. Growing up, her mother was always wary of the show ring after taking her beloved family into account, but El seemed facinated by the glamor and sophistication of the show ring. It never dawned on her that she was not eligible to join in with the other pedigree dogs, and she always seemed a little too over-confident in herself. Little did she know how much embarresment her ignorance would cause her.(see history) After she was 'put in her place'(rather crulely at that), El seemed to spiral into a deep depression that affected her self-assurance and over-all morale. She took refuge in her only friend, Eva, who helped her through the hard times.
History:
El grew up in adoration of both her purebred parents, but once she learned of her mother's rejection of the show ring, Eloise lost a great deal of respect for her mother. She grew apart from her father after that, confident that she could succede where they could not. She gained many pedigree friends with her new attitude, and became a mini leader of some sort. Of course, if they had only known of her setter side, she would have promptly been expeled from the position.
One of her older friends from her puppy-hood, Evalina, was close with a dog named Sherri. She was older then both the two pups, but through her Eloise became introduced to the lovely australian shepherd Litonya, Sherri's mother. El became a loyal follower of her, and Tonya, beleiving El was also an aussie, became a mentor of young El. For a while El's clever identity scandal held out, until one day, by pure chance, Eloise met her mother while on a walk with her posse. Catalina was blown away by seeing her daughter again, and greeted her affectionatly. Of course, this didn't blow over too well with El's 'friends'. After finding out of her cross-bred ancestory, they promptly wheeled around and never looked back. El, mortified and at the point of tears, ran from her mother to find comfort in Litonya. She received none, however. The beautiful red ausie's true nature was revealed after she had been told of El's lies by one of her ex-followers. Litonya laughed at poor El and banished her from her property.
A social outcast and a terrible daughter, El fled to the comfort of Eva, who although she tried, could not sooth El's aching heart.
Future:
Of course, the only thing that can cure such a damaged heart is a caring soul who understands...A young mutt enters the picture. His sister, Candace, is good friends with Eva. El had known him for a while, but she never gave him much thought. It wasn't until she got a reality check that she realized who smitten he was with her. Ever since they were young, he had been secretly crushing on her. Sadly, she never noticed, basically cast him off as an invisible being, and the young male became a hopeless romantic. Sherri's brother has had his eye on El too, though, and unlike the mutt, Eloise has definatly noticed. ((guess who the guys are. x3)) El is torn between the two guys, but isn't sure about either of them. On the one hand, she has known about(and even goaded on) Sherri's brother, but the mutt is so sweet and genuinly caring. If only he wasn't a mutt!
Other: I obviously made up the other half of her markings. I wasn't sure exactly what you had in mind, so I just referenced off of Oscar. x3
Why You Want the Pup:
A few reasons. I like her design, but then again, I wouldn't want her so badly if I didn't. She is perfect for a story I'd been planning for a while. I was going to use Eva, but El just has the 'look'. Also, I have been meaning to make a small posse involving the female pups of Litonya, Fallada, and Amarie, but that isn't many...I needed an equally beautifull girl to keep up with them, and who could also bring something new to the table. ;]

Ah! I don't know who to try for!! I love 1 and 3, mabey one.

Changing entry

Name: London

Number: 3

Gender: female

Breed: 1/2 Australian Shepherd, 1/2 English Setter

Personality: She takes most thing for granted, and never knows when she has had enough of somthing. She is known for a pericous attitude, towards other, mostly to younger dogs. London takes everyone as good; and is never quick to judge to judge others; mainly because unlike her mother, she has a very poor sence of judgment. She adopted her fathers loyal (mother to on this one ^-^), and affectionate side, although her pride somtimes gets in the way.

History: Growing up London had all a girl could ask for, looks, friends, and even a nice boyfriend. She couldn't be happier. Once adopted, by a young man, London continued her good life. Her owner trained her many tricks, and agility tests, just for in town competitions ment for fun (since she isnt pure breed). London became a 'champion' amoung the town, and because of that fact, she was frowned apon by her mother (not much, I don't think she is cold hearted >< judging by her personality). London and her old boyfriend, [url=http://baltosource.timduru.org/en/chars/Hunter_Lone/4655.html]Hunter (pay no attention to his bio, I am changing it)[url] had became mates soon after she got her fame. The couple were expecting pups; when London was diagnosed with bone cancer in her left leg. Hunter got scared of the thought of London dieing, and ran off, to forget his mate and their unborned pups. London fell into depression, from her sicknes and loss. London's owner, James, was to reluctent to get London put down, so he spent the money to get her leg removed. Sometime after the surgery, London had her pups 4 of them, wich three had died at birth, while the last one remaining, died shortly after. London went into a very bad depression, that adding onto what happened before. James was fored to sell London, since he made most of her money off of her. He sold her to a older man' a musher. London was his only female dog, so she was surounded by 6 males all of the time, who soon became her best friends. Living outside of town Lonny (a nick name she developed at her new home) lost contact with all of her old friends, she thought of it as a way to restart her life. After awhile living with the 6 boys, as to be expected they strted to find there crushes and mates. Her owner adopted a new female, off of the streets, London's closest friend, Traper fell instantly inlove with her, the female at first pushed him away, as she seemed very distant and depressed all of the time. London and Carter (called Carter by this owner to, since the dog ahad a blue collar with her name printed on it) never got along from day 1, since London hated her for hurting Traper, and at the time Carter was anti-social. After a year of living with Carter, the two became a bit closer- when Carter finally started to get happy again, the other female and Traper became mates, leaving London mostly alone-though she didn't care, as long as her firends were pleased. (She finds a mate for herself, I just don't have a male in mind ><)

Other: Wheres a black collar with 1 dog tag on it.

Why You Want the Pup: Honestly what got me was her parents; I saw your reply to a coment on one of the parents profile that there pups where going up for adoption, I litterally squealed (>< I am bad for that). I was waiting the few days I had to for this topic to come out, and spent almost a hour picking wich puppy I wanted. I wrote the bio out for the second one, but then I also fell inlove with the only female, of this group anyway. I felt the bio was more suited to her, and when I rewrote it for her, I liked it even more too >< Also I've been having a small ... addiction to dogs who are designed with each half different colours.. like my character Stitched (Who you should know^^), but still this is a very nice design aswell^^

(By the way: My mind completly melted while righting the personality/why I want it, hope it still makes sence^^)

The team
Better picture of her and Shadow
My design of her other side (I like WWM's better acually, but I don't copy sooo.. [also it was weird drawing with the missing leg xD])
Just when she is adopted xD

Wolfness--> I love the bio so far ^^ What's keeping you on the pic, though? Nothing personal, just trying to keep up with my own rules ^^"

LJ--> Aww, nice However, have you noticed that your description of "why you want the pup" is almost identical to WWM's?

Lone--> Aww, her story is sad but very good. ^^ I like the idea of her joining a team of guys who comfort her. Does she run on the team? How does she cope with three legs? (Hope you don't mind the questions; just wondering. XD) I'm also glad that somebody was looking forward to their pups being for adoption ;P

LJ~ Yeah, I noticed that too....

Idi~ Oo I thought you meant 'post them on the same post'. I didn't know you meant 'at the same time'. >< I was working on a pic of her with her friends.

WWM--> No problem. ^^ Just ignore the PM I sent you, then.


Great entries, guys!

No she dosent run on the team ^^; since she has three legs, and the team is full xD And she eventually does feel.. better about the three legs, but at first it adds to her depression

(glad you like it too x3)

I love number 2....but should I wait for the others XD OOhhhhhhh I'll probably try soon!

I made up my mind, Im going for 1. I may add more later! Sorry for bad pic, my laptop is dead and I had to do it on my computer.

Name: Jonesy
Number: 1
Gender: Male
Breed: 1/2 Australian Shepherd, 1/2 English Setter
Personality: Loyal, very intelligent, a big player (which he got from his grandparents, aunts, or uncles, mabey) Likes to show off, but has manners, very flirtatious. Tries not to flirt when he has a 'girlfriend' but it somtimes happens. Always looking for girls affection.
History: As a pup, he didn't like girls. Or think of them like that in any way. But after being stolen one day, he met Benjamin ( http://baltosource.timduru.org/en/chars ... /6087.html ) They becme best friends. Benjamin told him everything he knew about girls, and how to get them to like him. He became very well know'n in Nome. Him and Benjamin were disliked by some guy's, but most hung around them. In hopes of getting girls that got rejected. After meeting Benjamin's sibs, Conan and Charlene, Conan hung around them more. Conan became a good friend of Jonesy. But his sister Charlie, had mixed feelings about him. He wanted to be her friend, but she didn't like the way he treaded some girls. He would say good things abou her and do everything he could think of, but it never worked. Finaly, he asked her to meet him in the boiler roomone night, away from Benjamin and Conan. They met up, and she admited that she liked him. He was shocked, but said he 'liked' her too. They started 'dating' after that. But kept it a secret from Conan and Benjamin.
Other: He hasn't had many girlfriends, but he has had many that like him.
Why You Want the Pup: I love the two breed's he's mixed with, and I've wanted a character mixed with the two breeds for a while. I like #1 because the great color mix, the eye's, and his nose XD I love the colors on it!

Street--> Aww, ^^ I like your story!

WWM--> Nice pics >:P I like how you designed her other side; the spots really add a lot! XD
