  • Dogs being dropped off and abandoned on the streets has reached an all time high. Shelters and pounds have begun to reach their max capacity and they need a place to move the dogs until they get adopted. That is where the Gentle Lambs Dog Range comes in. At this range they take in those dogs that are too young, old, or troubled and watch over them. A dog is able to leave when someone comes to adopt them or a space at the shelter opens up. At the range, the dogs learn to become trusting of the people that work here and of other dogs.


    The humans are blind to the dynamics of the dogs but there is one leading pair of all the dogs on the Range. Their rule is enforced by the Beta's of the dog pack. Each sub group is ruled by a Delta who is only under the command of the Beta and the Alpha. All the rest of the dogs sort themselves out among the different sub groups.


    Life on the Range doesn't seem to bad but with new troubling cases coming by the dynamic of the pack is always shaken up. New cases means new problems to solve as the pack works to right the balance. As if that wasn't hard enough, the owner of the Range dies one day and no one knows what to do with the dogs. They decide to let them become feral and figure things out for themselves. How will these dogs manage when they have to rely on the pack setting to survive? Tensions will be built as the dogs learn what it truly means to be a part of a pack.

    The owner of the range made her way through the tall grassy field. She had gotten older in her years and were now hobbling along. Her hand rested on Sable's head to steady herself as she made the daily pass through. Her body was bent over and had a slight tremor to it as she walked.


    If a dog got to close Sable would nip at them to clear a path. Her ears were raised and she swiveled them to keep an ear out for trouble. "If you're playing in the grass, come out for a second. The human is wanting to see everyone."

    Anna lay under one of the trees closest to the bedding area. She was laying on her right side with her left ear slightly perked. Her eyes were closed but she was not asleep as could be told by her ear swiveling with the different sounds.


    Anna had been one of the first few to greet the human when she came out. Her eyes opened slowly as she heard the yaps of a puppy followed by Sable's voice. She let out a big yawn and stretched before getting to her feet. It was time to find something to do.

    Maxwell was walking through the tall grass of the range. His nose was to the ground and his tail was wagging furiously as he followed a beetle. Every few steps, a little bark could be heard as he pounced a few inches from it.


    Sable's voice of authority made the pup's ears perk up. "Okay! I'm coming", he barked excitedly before racing through the grass. A warning growl made him come skidding to a stop. He had almost bowled the human over in his eagerness. His ears pulled back and his tail lowered submissively as he apologized.

    Dreamer|| Delta|| Male|| No Mate||
    Dreamer cocked his ears as Sable announced the arrival of the owner he stood from under the tree in which he was laying under and padded over, dipping his head in respect to Sable. "Good afternoon." He greeted her his tone rather cheery as it always was. He turned to the owner and gave the same greeting though he doubted she understood him. He was careful to keep his distance however avoiding getting snipped at by Sable, who in his opinion, was always overly protective of the owner. Than again she was getting old.

    Arrow|| Omega|| Male|| No Mate||
    Arrow had greeted the owner the moment she had come out, not on purpose of course but by merely being in the right place at the right time. He supposed it was quite weird how things like that happened. Though now he was free to do what he wished so the rather large brute padded toward a tree only to notice that Anna was sitting under it already. For a moment he hesitated worried she would lash out at him if he conversed with her. Though he finally shook away his fear and padded over to the female. "Hello." he greeted her his voice holding a hint of fear. Though he was quite large and could easily take down most of the dogs in the 'pack' he was not a fighter, it was as simple as that, so when they lashed out on him he cowered. That was why he was an omega.

    Chanucey


    The large mass of fluff rose his head quickly as he heard the familiar sound of the owner coming out. Hearing Sable's call for all dogs to gather he stood and stumbled down the hill towards the owner. He was so excited to see her. He was extremely fond of the older woman and loved to rush out to see her anytime she came out. Once at the bottom of the hill he skidded to a halt and sat down promptly yipping as his tail quickly wagged back in forth tongue lolling out the side of his mouth.

    Dolly

    The Beta perked her ears at the Alpha's call. Standing from the bone she had been occupied with. The state of the owner was worrisome to be sure. Still, Dolly put on the typical happy look dogs gave when they saw the familiar human. She was very curious what the owner had to say. It seemed important and it worried her quite a bit. She whined slightly to the woman staying a respectful distance.

    Sable moved her attention from Maxwell to Dreamer. She gave a small nod in acknowledgment as he dipped his head. "Good afternoon", she responded with a friendly tone. Her attention shifted for a brief moment as she felt the owner move.


    The owner's hands stretched out towards the gathered dogs as she attempted to pet them all. Her body leaned against Sable who tightened her body in response. She turned her attention to the mass of fur known as Chanucey and Dolly. She had been prepared to growl at the pup but he had stopped in time.

    Anna's ears turned in the direction of the voice before her eyes did. "Oh! Hey what's going on", she greeted him. She was one of the friendlier dogs so she rarely snapped at the Omega's. Her different color eyes studied him as he came close. She was a bit surprised that a dog his size was in the Omega position. The sound of fear in his voice, however, told her why he was in the position.

    Maxwell perked back up the moment his scolding was over. He greeted Dreamer with a fast wagging tail and an enthusiastic bark of, "Dreamer!". He crouched down and barked again as he tried to play with the Delta. The owner's hand lowered on to his head and he bumped her hand. He gave it a lick before moving out of her reach and turning his attention to Chauncey. He tried to get the other puppy play with him.

Even though she was already close enough to see, she lifted herself off the flattened ground and skipped closer on her dainty paws, panting and wagging her long tail slowly. With her head outstretched, she offered to be pet by the woman. One of the few she trusted and knew long enough to be touched by.[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; margin-top: -8px;][hr][/fancypost]

    The owner greeted Lokelani and pet her softly on the head. Once all the dogs had been pet, the owner motioned to Sable who began to make the way back to the house. Her steps were slow to keep pace with the slow pace of the owner. Her hand gripped tightly onto Sable's fur but Sable put up with it.


    Once the owner was back in the house, Sable shook herself and made her way to the field of grass. She found a secluded spot that let her overlook the Range. It was one of her favorite spots and she quickly lay down under the shade of a nearby tree. Her eyes would scan the Range every so often to keep an eye on everything going on.

    Chanucey


    Perking his ears towards Maxwell the large pup crouched down playfully. Wagging his tail wildly he playfully charged towards the puppy although he ran past him and ran around behind him. Looping back the Goldendoodle barked to Maxwell wanting him to play along. The pup ran through the grass bounding along his long legs making it easy for him to clear ground quickly.

    Dolly

    Sighing softly the Beta watched the caretaker disappear back inside. She smelled stale and sick to the Beta. Dolly vigorously shook her head. There was nothing she could do about it. So she trotted back to her bone at the top of the hill watching the dogs below as she knawed happily along.

    Maxwell let out the shrill howl of a puppy before giving chase. Excited yaps could be heard as he sprinted through the grass. The Siborgi's feet were shaped to help him gain purchase on icy and snowy ground. His feet dug into the grass and dirt as he raced after Chauncey.

He felt Jessie bobbling beside his hind-legs as she tried to keep up with his longer strides. The Brown and White Shepherd Mix looked down at the pup and said, "Why don't you go play with Maxwell and Chanucey?" The puppy shook her head as she kept close to him. With a sigh Otto nodded and saw Dolly up on the hill and headed that way.

Her legs were too long for her at the moment and she was still figuring out that too long of a stride would cause her to face plant in the dirt. She could easily go play with the other two puppies, but she was shy and didn't want to leave Otto. He had kept her safe on the streets, and was like a father to her so she didn't understand why she shouldn't be next him.

    Chanucey


    The large pup tore off as the other pup gave chase. Chauncey panted and skidded to a hault. He turned and smiled as he crouched down. The pup wagged his tail frantically yipping at Maxwell.

    The Beta perked her ears as she heard the sound of approaching paws. Tipping her head she looked up as Otto and Jessie. She yipped a greeting wagging her tail before continuing to knaw on the bone her eyes still drawn towards the pair.

The caretaker was getting old faster than it felt like for the few years she's been living in the range. It was slightly worrying, but she didn't want to make herself sad just thinking about it. The canine stopped staring into nowhere and hopped away to where she found a scatter of ants nearby their ant hole. For whatever reason, watching them look for food was fascinating.[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; margin-top: -8px;][hr][/fancypost]

    Dreamer|| Delta|| Male||
    Dreamer watched as they made their way back into the house a small sigh escaping his lips as they did so. The woman was getting older, everyday she appeared more and more unstable, she grew to use sable more everyday for balance. He began to wonder how much longer she had, though the thought only made him sad and he forced himself to shake it off before padding away toward a tree were he lay down gazing up at the sky and wondering what the day would bring.

    Arrow|| Omega|| Male||
    Arrow sighed as he realized Anna was welcome to talking. He was quite happy for a chance to talk to another dog. It had been a couple days since he had communicated with anyone. Usually he spent his time alone thinking about the world. "Not a lot." He answered her simply. He than stood awkwardly wondering if she would mind if he were to lay down next to her but being too scared to provoke her without doing so with permission. "Oh yeah, Uh, What about you?" He added awkwardly. Okay so his social skills were a bit off, it wasn't like he talked much to others, usually they cast him away if he talked to them.

    Anna glanced at him and amusement showed on her face. "I was actually going to go for a walk. You want to come with me? I can't promise it will be too exciting but I figure it wouldn't hurt to see what is going on in the Range. Her feet took a few steps forward before she looked back to see if Arrow was following.


    She wouldn't get too far before coming across Lokelani. She would give a slight dip of her head as they approached the warrior. "We are going for a walk. You want to join us", she would ask as she motioned towards Arrow.

She thought about her answer for a second and nodded, agreeing to come along on the casual stroll around the range. A little adventure never hurt, and she likely would've gone on a patrol for intruders later anyway. The female stood and shook her legs of dirt, returning the greetings with a dip of her head.[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; margin-top: -8px;][hr][/fancypost]

    Arrow was taken aback at first, he froze watching the female pad away. He only began to follow after she glanced back at him, padding quickly to catch up. Never before had the brute been asked to take a walk with another dog. Usually they ignored him, and yet this female had not only willingly talked to him but allowed him to take a walk with her. He easily caught up with her and was about to thank her for her hospitality when she stopped turning to a brown lab who stood just a few feet away and asking her to join there patrol. The lab agreed and Arrow was a bit disappointed at not having time alone to thank the long haired sheep dog of sorts, Anna he believed her name was. Though he quickly shook it away nodding a silent greeting to the other female too afraid that if he spoke she would not enjoy it.

    Sable got up from the spot where she was laying and shook her fur free of grass. She had taken a few steps to walk the perimeter when the shrill sounds of sirens filled the air. Her head snapped towards the house as they pulled screeching into the driveway. A since of dread filled her stoumach but she quickly went into action as distress started to spread through the pack.


    Tilting her head pack, she let out a howl that rivaled the sound of the siren. All heads turned to her as she called for a meeting of the Deltas, Warriors, and Betas. She waited till everyone was seated before she began to give out orders. "Deltas, you are to take your groups into the barn. Warriors are to sit post until we figure out what is going on. Beta's with me", she said before dismissing the meeting.


    With that, the group dispersed and went to doing what was needed of them. "Let's hurry", she told Otto and Dolly before racing down the hill. Her feet flew over the ground and she just hoped she could make it in time. She had already heard the doors of the house open up and seen the people walk inside.

    "Great", Anna said with a wag of her tail before starting off. She didn't get too far before the sounds of siren hit her ear. It was a bit muffled but she could still hear the shrill tone. She froze and glanced at the two beside her. Her ear perked up and she felt her fur bristle slightly. The atmosphere suddenly felt heavy.

    Maxwell had been playing happily till he heard the sirens. His ears perked and he felt curiosity. His tail was tucked between his legs as he was unsure how to react. He hadn't heard a sound like that before and it scared him. The sound was shrill in his ears and he let out the howl of a young pup.

Lokelani managed to separate the sirens and Sable's howl, both of which she could tell were signs of trouble. The warrior hesitated momentarily, not wanting to abandon Anna and Arrow but also wanting to go to the alpha to get an explanation of what was happening. She looked back at the two to see their reactions and then to the caretaker's house where all the noise was coming from, her iridescent eyes narrowing in concern. Whatever, this sounded urgent and surely the others would understand. Lokelani took off after Sable in a sprint, her long legs kicking through the grass until she was in close enough distance with the gathered high-ranks.[/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; margin-top: -8px;][hr][/fancypost]

    Chanucey


    The sound of the sirens drew him from the game. Whining he looked at Maxwell. He yipped and looked towards the older dogs. "Let's go to the older pack members." He woofed looking back towards the sirens. Chauncey slowly started to slink away unsure.

    Dolly

    Hearing the howl and sirens she perked her ears. This was bad. Last time she had heard sirens it was when she had attacked an intruder and the cops were called. Shaking her head she loped quickly over to the Alpha. Glancing towards the siren she turned the sirens. "The owner must be in trouble." She observed quietly. She then glanced towards Lokelani as she came towards them.
