The grass brushed against my face. My breathing hard but hushed and my heart raceing with anticipation. BAM! I poked my sleek head out of the forest of grass to see a water fowl fall from the sky. This is where I come in. My mid length legs carried my light body swiftly through the grass. My nose on the scent and my eyes locked dead on were the bird had fallen. Finnaly I reached it and smiled. A duck, technically the third duck my owner had shot. The last of the catch. Carefully I picked it up in my mouth and held it with soft jaws as not to ruin the bird.

  I ran back to Junior, my owner, and gave him the bird. He sat down his 4 /10 shotgun and took the catch. He smiled and affectionantly rewarded me with a good roughhouse and loving petting. He scratched me under my chin, my favorite spot. My tail wagged feircly.

 We finished playing and then he load the catch in the back of his truck and  put me in the front seat with him. He then laid his shotgun,unloaded on to the floor of the vehicle.

 It was a fairly quiet ride home  except for the occasional praise. Back at home I Laid out side my humans bedroom door. I was not on any mat, bed or blanket just the hard oak floor. But something caught my attention right before i nearly fell asleep. It was my owner and his wife Rosa talking.

" John I want another dog." said Rosa

" But dear we already have Karona..." My human said before getting cut off by his wife.

" I know I know, but a companion for me when you and your dog are out hunting and maybe one for you." she pushed on.

" But dear  how would Karona behave, act or even accept a new dog?" questioned Jr.

" We won't know til it happens." said Rosa in a sing songy voice.

" I don't know....." said Jr.

" Please, pretty please with a cherry on top." she said.

" Fine, but I pick it out." said Jr.

  I was dumbfounded. What was this? Rosa wants a NEW dog. But why? I trotted downstairs to my bed. The bed was a wicker pet bed basket with a plush comfy pillow and icey blue and white blanket I had as a pup, it was MY blankie. I went to sleep that night upset about the new thing coming into My home.

 The next day John woke up early and woke me up too. He put my emrald green collar on me and attached my leash to it too.  I trotted behind him but stopped so he could lift me into the cab of his truck. Before starting the truck he held me in his arms like he did when I was a tiny puppy. He looked into my soft brown eyes and let out a deep sigh. " I'm sorry K" K was my call name" Rosa has been begging this from me for months. Listen there's gonna be another dog in the house and she "Insists" it be a purebred. I'm totally against it but I wanna make her happy. But your alpha dog here you decide wether she stays or not." He set me in the passangers seat and we drove off to the Dog pound.

" By the way I'm adopting 4 other dogs 3 male 1 female." Jr said. The dogs he was speaking of I had already approved of and accepted. We went inside and got them. He were loaded into the car and we drove back to the house. All of us were dropped off and Jr went to go get the "new" addition the the pack.

Raymond, a American bulldog/ rottweiller mix, was the oldest of the four Adoptees. He was 5. Liona, a beagle chihuahua mix second oldest at 3. Shindo, a corgi cocker spanial mix 3rd oldest at 2 1/2. and Shayne, a husky rottie mix at 3 years.

" Whats got your tail in a knot?" asked Raymond to me.

" Newbie." I said.

" So....." said Shindo.

" New pup. A PUREBRED ." I retorted.

Liona padded over" Whats so bad about puries?"

Puries, thats what we branded purebreds as.

"You nana was a purie cocker right?" she asked.

" Not technically she was half cocker half shnauzer." I admitted. My "nana" was Annette, a pup from a pure bred cocker spanial mum and a shnauzer mystery mix dad.

" Don't worry chicka we'll give it the beat down if it gets outta hand." said Shayne.

We all talked for bout an hour when Jr finnaly came home with a new pup my age. A purebred  female.

By the time the purie arrived it was 9 pm so we didnt interact with her til the next day.

By the time all of us had woken up the masters had left to go get dog food and supplies.

This was the first look I got at the purie.

She was a purebred  Nova scotia duck tolling retriever. She had a golden honey coat with a white chest and paws. She was about the same size as me.

The purie walked up to me with a smug look on her face. She circled me studying my appearance as if to judge if i was worth hanging around with. She circled me two or three times and then tilted her head up with a huff.

" Well ....what are you?" she asked in a prude tone. I gave her a look of irratation.

" A dog. What are you?" I said sarcastically. She raised a brow." I ment your pedigree." she said sharply.

" Papillion,cocker spaniel, border collie, pomeranian, shnauzer. Why?" I answered.

"Ah so your a mutt." Said the purie. " and your rude." I retorted.

Raymond,Shindo,Liona,and Shayne padded up to see what all the barking was about.

" I beg your pardon." Said the purie." Yeah, your being rude." I said." My name is Karona whats yours?" I asked her. " My name is Rosana." she said.

" Well Rosana. I don't know where your from or how it was were master got you but around here you've got to be respectful to get respect." I said

" And why should I a Purebred listen to a mutt like you lot?" said Rosana.

" Ok thats it!" I growled. Shayne noticed that I was gonna attack her and he picked me up by the scruff and carried me to his dog house. Once inside he put me down and blocked the door so I couldent get out. I knew that this was his way of calming me down so I layed down.

" What was that about K?" Shayne asked " That little purebred brat thinks that she is better than us just because she is a purebred." I sighed. Though Shayne had only lived here for a day noone but us knew that we were best friends before I Was sold to JR.

"Alright but your done being around her for the time being, just let Shindo,Raymond and Liona take care of her. They'll set her straight." He said. I nodded.

By the time Jr got back with our food I had fallen asleep next to Shayne. He nudged me with his nose to wake me up. I yawned and streched and we both made our way to our Master.

We got 3 bowls, two to a bowl. And out of every dog in the yard Rosana HAD to choose my bowl! I was already eating when she rudely shoved into me, Ok that was it I was gonna set her in her place. I shoved her back giving her a throaty growl,bareing my teeth and licking my chops. Jr noticed. " K down." I laid down at the command. Jr took Rosana's head in his hands and looked her in the eyes." Karona is the alpha don't be suprised if she snaps at you, she's just putting you in your place." then he looked at me" Be good." he said sternly before standing up and walking inside.

 Rosana scoffs when he leaves. Then she edges her way to the bowl again, once again I snap and growl at her. This time it scared her. " Don't think just cause you're Rosa's dog you can push you're way around here!" I growl. Shay takes a step forward but stops." Whatever." she says than walks away. I snarl with frustration. Shayne comes over and tries to calm me down.

" Rona you have to chill." he says to me " Why is she so snoody?!" I ask. " Master got her from a 'rich' human who breeds nova's for a living and shows them, it's probably the way she was raised" he explained.

About two hours later John (JR) came out." Y'all ready for the dog park?" he said. We all swarmed him with happy faces and wagging tails.
