Pleasant Lake- a herding dog RP

"good work daisy" SOH smiled. She looked the fox in the eyes as it hung from daisy's mouth, "Your quite the li'le spitfire arent ya?" she ignored ifern.

She rolled her eyes. "Just let the fox go!" Feather snapped, Her eyes on the fox as pain filled her eyes.

SOH sapped at feather "NO! it's time to teach this little bugger a lesson!"

Fell swished his tail and back up until he was against the barn door. yes, things had gone south, and his only idea out of it was now back in Daisy's hands, er, paws. He growled to himself and was glad he was still covered in black. The dogs knew him as a menace around here, and things would not bode well if they knew he was the infamous Fell!
"Take it easy, deary," he said with as much charm as he could muster. Not that Daisy was bad-looking, but he really preferred foxes over dogs, "I just wanted a taste, honest. I was gonna give it back," he gave a dazzling grin and winked in her direction. "I'm...er...," He looked around for inspiration and saw a pail of milk on a crate, "MILK...-y way. Milkyway, because the path with me is smoooth sailin'" Another wink. He could be cute when he wanted to be, he knew that much. And this black garb really did make him look dashing, he had to admit.

"So, what's three pretty ladies like you doin' in this farmplace, eh? I'd think you'd be somewhere getting pampered like you should." Another wink, would it be like a twitch?- he thought to himself.

SOH scowled as she saw the fox charm Daisy, THAT SLY LITLLE BEAST!

"daisy, take him up to the farmhouse, to the master..."

"We like it here, we have purpose. our master needs us to protect his farm from rats like you!"

he gave Soh an award-winning smile. He had forgotten, Soh was a bit tougher than the old scraps of meat the farmer had running the place. Fine, foxes always have more than one plan anyway. She glanced up slightly, not to any notice of the others, and grinned.
"Well dolls, its been a heck of a time, let's do this again soon, shall we? he leapt, grabbing the piece of rope hanging from a wooden rail tht held the barn together at the top and swung like a live pendulum. He knocked over the pail of milk, which washed away the soot instantly and showed the dogs for who he really was, a local pest and hated by them. he scampered up it with ease and stood on the beam for a moment, glaring down at them.
"What, you thought you could outsmart a fox?" he said with pleasure before going out the barn the same way he came in, leaping to the fence, out of the pasture, and back, back to his wood, where they would never catch him.

"It's that one guy!" SOH was astonished. he had gotten away with so much product! She ran out of the barn and into the woods, but the fox was gone. She cursed and went back to her hill, what a day it had been. Feather was going to give her a hell of a lecture next time they crossed paths...

He heard Soh's angry outburst and turned, bristling. That one guy!?! He had taken so much stuff, come one, they had to know his name by now.
"Fell, my bloody name is Fell!" he shouted back at Soh, before running farther into the woods. He was now exhausted, and still hungry. He'd had to search extra hard for some sparrow or rabbit tonight for dinner!

"fell..." SOH muttered under her breath... she couldnt see him, but she knew he could hear her... "WELL FELL!" she yelled. "YOUD BETTER NOT COME BACK AGAIN OR WELL GET YOU...WELL GET YOU NEXT TIME! YOU CANT OUTSMART A HERDER! FOX OR NO FOX!"

((I'll play a young Collie mix called Max, he's still a puppy at 4 months old, he's over confident and everything is a game to him. Max has only just started training to become a herder and still needs a lot of teaching))

(This is kinda what he would look like IRL, Max. I found it on Google)

Max bounded out out of the house, his oversized paws propelling him forwards and a ridiculous grin was plastered across his face as his tongue lolled out. He ran up to SOH, "Hey, what happened?, did I miss something SOH?" He jumped up and down in front of her wagging his tail, he was still very young at 4 months and everything was a game to him. Though Max had not been there long but he had started seeing SOH as a sort of mother or older sister after being taken from his own mother and siblings.

Feather growled. She never hurt a fox in her entire life. Except for one time. Her father had been a fox, but her mother had insisted that she stay with her to train to be a herder. It would be better that way. the ruddy colored female sat down, her eyes clouded with sadness for a brief second. She had always wished to find a friend.... a fox. But she had her duty.

((awesome, i love him, he's so cute))

SOH raised her head to max, she loved that pup but he sometimes got on her nerves. she was happy to have his company now though.

"there was a fox trying to nab one of our pigs" SOH retrospected "Fell, that red fox that keeps getting on our property"

Daisy was furious at that point and she screamed as loud as she could so the fox wouldln't miss a word, "The only reason why your name is Fell is because when you finally do fall you will be known as the great Fell who fell to a bunch of herding dogs!" She let out a fierce, mad, growl that ended with a breath taking bark.

"YOU SAID IT!" SOH yelled to daisy. She turned to max again. "if you ever see a red fox snooping around here, dont listen to ANYTHING he says. just immediatley run to us. Kapeesh?"

Feather barked at Daisy, "You will not hurt that fox!" Her blue eyes shivered with anger, rage, fury....All of that.

SOH barked back to feather "What do you expect us to do with it?"

Feather didn't her as she bounded out of the barn. She needed to find that fox.

Daisy looked back at Feather and said, "I know, I'm not that type of dog..." she turned over, "I just don't have the heart to kill...even if it is Fell. The truth is I have never even killed a single coyote, fox, or any other animal that comes on the farm..I just run it off." she gave a sad smile to SOH and Feather.

Max grinned and looked at SOH, "got it SOH" he said smiling. He let out a mock growl and began attacking an imaginary fox, oblivious to the fact that Feather was part fox.

Feather stopped. She turned around. "Really?" Then, she smirked at SOH. "It looks like I'm not the only one." Feather snapped harshly.

"Good." SOH smiled at max, what a fine young sheep herder/guardian he would make.

She then turned in daisy and feather's direction, "Daisy, if we dont kill it, how do you expect us to get rid of it? keep it as a pet? no matter what we do, he'll always be taunting us, it's the fox's manner. it's our duty to keep the farm fox-free."

Feather kept back a remark of her own self. If she said it, it would be bad.

Max turned and gazed up at SOH, " when can we do some more training SOH?" he asked excitedly, wagging his tail. He loved chasing the sheep!

"sure why not?" SOH stood up "follow me, were going to do some exercizes. Just watch me first" SOH trotted around to the back of the feild and rounded to the On By (left) side of the sheep. She cut into the sheep straight down the middle, and carefully brought the lambs from the group. 5 total lambs were braying their way to the hill where max stood as SOH weaved around them to keep them in a group.

She looked down at max as the lambs stopped "well start with lambs today, the sheep are skittish because of the fox. one might kick you."
