A really stupid, dumb one, but hey, it would keep her occupied for the next hour or so. Her encounter with the strange Catahoula mix named Jessie had put her to wonder whether or not she knew herself like in reality. He had convinced her of a few things, the weird dog was just so random that neither Corinne nor Jessie knew who they really were. Of course, Corinne used to. The poor female now had no idea what she was going to do with herself. With this cold winter and everything, with the temperatures falling, Corinne's fur was often shivering, or her tongue was really. She hadn't drunk a good bit of water in a few days, the only thing she was able to get was a few sips from the lake yesterday, but even that water tasted yucky and needed some rain to refresh it. It was beginning to get cooler now that summer was almost over, or Corinne hoped it would be, so she could imagine herself playing in at the beach- that was what she wanted so badly. Her nose had picked up fresh scents of dogs over in the east side of town, so she decided to head over there. She was totally unaware that the scents were bloodstained permanently onto a landmark where nasty dogs fought, Corinne had no idea. When her nose led her around to a white saloon territory, every single bone in her body became still, her muscles tensed up so bad she was like a robot- barely walking, and when she did they were stiff movements, causing the klutz to fall over on her face. Corinne did not think it was funny, she had trouble when her body got all in her protective mode, she didn’t know why she couldn’t get relax and let it go away… for some reason, but her body would be too ill to ever relax properly again, for all her years fighting for survival, all by herself.., she really wanted prince charming to walk into her life right around this time, she wanted someone to comfort her so that she knew she would be protected…even when her time came to die…and she really needed to get over the fact that everyone dies sometime. If so, Corinne could die today, maybe she would drown- who knows. Even as we speak some dogs were dying, are dying to this minute- either abuse or old age, and that’s what scared Corinne. She didn’t like thinking about going to heaven, even if there was a doggie heaven…maybe…she didn’t know. Closed for Shadow. [/scrolly]

Shadow shivered, It was a cold day and she was wandering around by the general store when suddenly she picked up the scent of another dog, a female. Shadow put her nose to the ground and followed the dog'scent until finally she spotted the dog in the distance. As she approached, Shadow noticed the dog who appeared to be a black female in defensive mode, had appeared to have collapsed. When she got close enough, Shadow crouched down in a non threatening position at the dog's eye level and called "Hello, my name is Shadow. Are you ok?".

She paused, closing her eyes and then suddenly jumped up and saw another figure, black and soft coated, she was a femme. From what Corrine could tell, she was concerned about her and not annoyed. That made Corinne happy and eager to meet this dog. The black lab gave a goofy grin at Shadow, who asked her what her status was. "Oh! Hello Shadow! My name is Corinne, what's yours? I am great, thanks! My mind was off in another world, does yours do that some times? Yes?" she chatted, bouncing around her new found friend. The youngster paused, scanning her all over again for any signs of aggression before continuing on. Corrine wondered where this dog had come from. Why was she here? How did she get her? What was her past? Did she have sisters or brothers? Those things ran around crazily in Corinne's mind, which was a bright one, yes indeed, but occasionally too fast for her own good. And sadly, that's what the black lab was most of the time- too fast.   Closed for Shadow. [/scrolly]

Shadow was amazed when the dog`s eyes suddenly snapped open and she bounced to her feet. Shadow grinned when the dog said that her mind was off in another place and asked Shadow if her mind did the same. Shadow repiled "yes my mind does do the same sometimes" watching as the dog continued to bounce around her. The dog who said her name was Corinne paused and looked as though she was thinking so Shadow said "you look as though you want to ask me something. It is ok you know, fire away".
