Ashton licked the wound one last time and turned around to leave. "Keep that steady," he growled. "Don't strain it and don't walk on it too hard." He sighed and walked over to Karmabell. "Mm.. rabbit. My favorite." He nodded a thanks toward the husky ((i'm guessing, right?)) and walked over to his favorite spot to eat. It was a huge tree with massive roots. A ton of the roots were jagged and sticking out. One made a perfect spot to eat. He sighed and started to bite in to the rabbit.
"Welcome!" Karmabell called after Ashton, for she adored praise. Slowly walking over to the front door (Since, she was told to take it easy, she felt bad for not listening to Rory, he was so nice and gentle, he meant her no harm.) she then sucked in her breath and galloped over to her bush, the scene where she had felt death knocking at her door. She nearly fainted when she saw the blood-coated grass, and the waterloged soil that lie beneath it, and she knew she had to clean up before her bush was marked forever as a place of massacure. She went down to a nearby stream and ingulfed as much water as could possibly fit into her little mouth and she sprayed it down upon the bloody grass. she repeated this until the blood was washed away through a little tunnel she dug beneath the earth that lead to an ocean nearby. When her little bush was clean she set off to finish her gifts that were almost completed, for tommorow was not only her Birthday, But Christmas (Or so her mother had told her, her mom was probably wrong though, because she was pretty crazy after her brothers died. But she always said Karmabell was her "little gift from above, so she had to have born on a holy day, such as Christmas" so her mother said). So she planned to give each and everyone of her family members a magnificent present. As it grew dark she finished the gifts and made sure everyone was asleep inside, after this she used her claws to cut down a tiny pine tree with the thinest trunk (this was weird, seeing as she didn't really have both hind legs to support her) and stuck it up in their little home, stuffing each present under its little grasp with every dog having their name on one Karmabell curled up and as the clock struck midnight she whispered " happy birthday to me, wow, four years old" with a sigh she drifted off into sleep.
OOC: When you open your gift from Karmabell make it whatever your character would really want K? :) Everyone gets a gift! Also Its not really christmas, Karmabell's mother was wrong about that one :)
Rolo was sleeping when she got up quietly so she would not wake anyone. She looked outside the window and looked at the stars she remembered the horrible thing that happened about a month ago when Rolo and her mother were running from the dog catcher but the dog catcher caught her her mom. Rolo saw her mom being taken into the place where they put dogs down. Rolo let out a small whimper. But then began to howl at the sky crying.
Anna opened her eyes when she heared Rolo howling. She sighed and walked up to the pup and placed her tail over her mouth "Will you quit that!?" she asked her. She waited a few minutes then told her "No one wants to hear you howling, all we want to do is sleep" she walked back over to her bed and layed down then fell back asleep after a few minutes.
Cliff opened one eye and looked at all the dogs asleep except for Rolo. He had been asleep when she came back so he couldnt ask her where she had been. Getting up slowly he walked over to the pup and picked her up. Bringing her to his chair he placed her down. "It's okay Rolo. Go to sleep." Not knowing what she was sad about he frowned layed down next to the chair to give her room. It wasnt often he let other dogs sleep on his favorite chair, but he felt bad for the pup. Closing his eyes he fell asleep until light showed into the room, making him wake with a start. The sun was about to rise. Getting up he waited for another dog to wake. They had to patrol even more now since the fight.
Shep stayed watch with Rory until the sun began to rise. " Hey, Rory. I think we can go and get some sleep now. " She looked at him and padded back into their home. She navigated through the sleeping bodies until she got her bed. She then saw a bright purple present sitting atop of her pillow. " What is this for? " She wondered. Shep dantily grabbed it in er mouth and the wrapper split open. Sitting in the middle of the paper was a coller. It was purple and said, " Shep. " Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at it.

Rolo woke up with a start she found herself waking up in Cliffs favorite chair. She saw Cliff was leaving so she slowly got to her paws. Rolo was super tired cause she stayed up most of the night howling. She went to her bed and saw something there. It was a present Rolo ran over to it and opened it the front of it said Rolo. She looked in and found a rubber ball with a bell in it! Rolo ran outside to play with it. She started to get hungry so she found a guy eating a hot dog. She whimpered for it but the guy shouted "get out dog!" So Rolo growled and jumped on the guy she bit him and then grabbed his hot dog and ran!

Karmabell was woken up about an hour before her normal time, but was soon as she got up she knew she couldn't sleep again. Why she woke up was probably because of all the howling, this night was surely one of deep emotions. She saw Rolo's present was open and was happy, hoping she was enjoying it. That one took her quite some time to make. Then she hobbled over to Shep who seemed to be stirring, or at least she was pretty sure she wasn't sleeping. So she went to see if maybe Shep had gotten her gift, her favorite part of gift giving was the warm feeling she got inside when she saw her gift being truely appriciated. "Hey Shep!" She whispered as to not wake the others.
