In Alaska there is a small town called Arbor Dawn. It is covered in snow year round and the humans here have no means for food, medicine, or even mail. All their hope relies upon their sled dogs and skilled snow dogs to get them whatever they need when they need it. Every year the humans hold a competition to see which dogs will be in charge of which run depending on how quick they are and how well they handle the elements. So basically it is your job as dogs to train and prepare for teh big race to see who will be in charge of which trade. Will you be in charge of the most important route which is food or medicine or the lesser route with mail?

Rules:

1. Please be literate. I would like 5 sentences per post which is yes, a paragraph. If you have more than one character this minimum requirment will be easy.
2. Please only dogs that can last in the harsh winter weather. I'm not saying you can't have a Chihuahua, but think. Will it really last in Alaska?
3.  You can have as many dogs as you can handle.
4. Please no goodmooding or powerplaying. That isn't fun.
5. Violence is allowed of course. We need the mean dogs and the scardy cats.
6. Romance is a plus. It always seems to bring drama into the Roleplays.
7. Post your favorite breed of dog in your favorite color to show me you have read these rules.
8. If you wish to have a cat you may.
9. Have fun.
10. The bio is just a guidline so you may tweek it if you wish but you must put the picture of your animal first like instructed. It makes things easier. Unless you are doing a very detailed deion then you may put it within the bio.

Bic://

Duma currently stood upon a small ledge just a little above the town looking down upon them watching Risk frolic in the snow chasing his own tail. She let out a deep sigh and shook her head. The wind tugged and pulled at her red cloth collar making the small golden loop move around to the back of her neck. She stood up carefully and made her way down the small slop towards the town. “I do wish the best upon you child” she whispered to herself keeping her eyes on Risk who seemed to be acting like a foolish pup instead of a responsible young adult like he was.  

“Duma…What is the matter?” Hatsu asked curiously coming up to join her in her walk to the town. “Something is bothering you and I can tell. What is it?” He questioned again a little worried about what was in her mind.

“It is nothing. I’m worrying about how Risk will take this race coming up. He’s smart but I fear not smart enough to deal with the elements and how far he must trek” Duma sighed looking at Hatsu who nodded gravely.

“He will be fine. He’s very agile and his jaw strength is quite good for a dog his age. He’s a fighter and doesn’t give up that easy. Do not fret upon him. He’ll make it” Hatsu nodded with his words as they entered the town line. “All of the dogs will make it. Have you seen the training some of the are going through? It is simply amazing” he grinned revealing his fangs as he walked proudly into the town.

 ----

Risk was currently in front of his owner’s home chasing his tail. He lopped his tongue out to the side and panted while laying down. He was exausted and hadn’t managed to catch is tail. “I wonder what’s for dinner” He asked out loud looking up at the darkening sky. Fresh snow had not yet fallen upon the town but Risk could smell that it would later tonight. He used his back right paw to scratch behind his ear before sitting up and just staring at the sky awaiting the arriving storm.

A few houses down, Supriya was let out of the front door as she bounded into the snow. “Risk!” She called out running towards the panting black and white husky. “Risk! Good news! It’s the season for the competition. With the snows blowing in tonight and a few storms this week they will be announcing the date for the competition. I have a chance to run the medicine route!” She grinned bounding up in front of him sliding to a stop. “My master will be so proud of me if I get it. Can you imagine. Me the leader of the medicine route” She let out a longing sigh looking up to the sky. She couldn’t wait until the humans announced the date for the competition. She was excited to be battling against her friends and some of the world’s best sled dogs. She felt in her heart she was ready. That she could do this for her lonely master and herself.  

Sara sat inside her dog house when she heard a yelp. She peered her head around and saw Jesca. Jesca's master was strange. He beat her with a black, flexible stick.

Before long, Sara's master walked out and put her some food down. She stepped out of her house and sniffed the food, her favorite, beef tips and rice leftovers. Sara wagged her tail and licked her master's hand. Her master scratched her head and looked at Jesca.

He walked over to Jesca and examined her wounds. He sighed and let out a tear. He looked at Jesca's master's house and debated on confronting him about his behavior, but he decided not to. He would give him one more chance before confronting him.

Sara's master lowered to get eyelevel with Jesca and tried not to seem threatening. He didn't make any sudden moves and remained silent. He let out a 'Shhh' sound as he sat down just out of reach of Jesca's mouth.

Sara didn't have a chain. She walked over to sit beside her master and tried to help. She let out a small whimper when she saw Jesca's wound.
