::A New Morning::

::Spanky awoke in the den, with a very large yawn to boot...he got up quietly to not wake up Biera and stretched...his fluffy tail flopped over on his butt in a curly cue...then silently he shook his body off then looked towards Biera and nudged her softly::
"Hey, you awake Biera "
::He stood there quietly as not to spook her of his actions, then he took a seat to wait for her and when she was ready they'd goto the lake for a drink then maybe finish up on the left overs...or maybe hunt for new meat::

<Biera opened one brilliant blue eye groggily at the male's voice. A smile crept across her maw, and she raised her head, yawning widely. She hadn't slept that well in ages; it really paid off to be warm and safe for once. Having some food in her stomach was a plus, too. She could definately get used to this.
Sitting up, her jaws widened again in a yawn, and she stretched out languidly. Finally, shaking out her dry pelt, she padded over to Spanky, tail wagging, and nudged him back in the flank>
"Well I am now."
<She grinned slightly>

::The large male sat there looking out of the den...it looked nice out and he saw the pond a couple feet away and knew there were some leftovers::
"I got a plan...We will goto that pond over there and get a nice cold drink...and we'll go hunt again so we don't lose out on food...how does that sound?"
::He looked at her with curiosity with a small smirk on his face::

<Biera smiled broadly at the mention of "food" and "water," pleased allready with the way her time with this male was going. As far as she was concerned, Spanky had somehow majestically appeared from the heavens to lavish her with friendship, food, and shelter. Utterly clueless about the wild, she was in a state of wonder about the male's clear semi-wild tendancies and altruistic nature>
"That sounds great!"
<She said decisively, tail wagging so hard her bony rump shook from side to side>

::He smiled and nodded happily and walked over to the creek and started lapping up water and looked over at Biera he knew in order to hunt she'd have to get some energy off the water first so he waited patiently for her to get all the water she needed::

((Just as a heads-up, we're going to be starting a rule that posts be a min. of five sentences to try and encourage better developed posts in members who tend to fall short writing, as their posts often end up ignored. It would be good if you could punctuate your sentences we the moderators know when they start and stop.  ))
<Biera followed suit as Spanky exited the den, peering out and taking in a deep lungful of the fresh forest air. Having finally had a meal and a decent night's rest, the still desparately thin dog was feeling better than she had in ages. She was so distracted by the fact that she was actually pleased to have waken up in the morning that she was nearly left in the dust by Spanky, who had allready headed off to the nearby pond for a drink. Letting out a surprised little yip upon realizing how far he'd wandered allready, the ribby pit-bull finished emerging from the den and trotted off after him.
When she finally arrived at beside him, watching him finish his long drink, she realized for the first time just how thirsty she was. Apparently digesting all that good meat with nothing to drink had left her a little dehydrated, and thus the femme now drank voraciously and and length. She gulped down the water so fast that she felt cold from the sudden influx of cool liquid. Giving a quick shiver, she looked at Spanky and gave a meek smile>
"So.. what are we hunting?"

::He looked at her drink the water so quickly and gave a small smirk. He quietly licked his chops waiting for Biera to finish, looking around his surroundings curiously. Then he noticed the small female was done drinking and speaking to him. He turned his attention back to her quickly and his tounge rolled out of his mouth panting quietly::
"I think we'll hunt anything that looks weak, or small, it's no telling intill we find some prey...are you ready?"
::He scooped his tounge back into his mouth and looked at her with his head cocked curiously::

((Sorry my reply took so long! I've been horrifically busy))
<Biera didn't really understand survival that well. As far as she was concerned, it was just plain odd to hunt something that looked sick, small, or weak. If it was weak, it probably didn't have much muscle, which meant less meat. If it was small, they wouldn't have enough to eat between the two of them. And if it was sick, they could probably get sick from eating it. Indeed, the way of the wild was completely and utterly lost on her. It was a good thing she had Spanky around, or she'd have probably been gored to death chasing stags by now>
"Oh... ok."
<She said, not really thinking she should argue but still puzzled as to why they'd go after what seemed like a lousy meal. She brushed the thought aside, however, tail wagging and tounge lolling as she looked all around, ears perked high over her head. She had no idea where to even begin>
"So... I guess you can lead the way then?"
<It was a little embarassing, but for all of her time here, Biera still had pretty well no idea whatsoever as to where on earth she could find good prey. Only by the temporary blessing of Kangl's pack had she survived this long>

::He perked his ears to listen to the surroundings. Although he was new here, he knew how to hunt from his own teachings. He quickly put his nose on the ground to search for direction of prey, he then lifted his head quickly and started slow jogging forward, making sure to stay slow Biera. His ears stayed perked to listen to everything, working his nose quickly, searching for prey.::
"Okay, we may have to search for a few moments, but we should have luck"
::He stayed at a slow jog for a few more moments, he caught sight of a larger bush, He smelled Does with thier fawns, Yes they were in luck, He did a silent jump into the bush, and viewed his prey, waiting patiently for Biera, to let her in on the plan::

((Eeee, sorry for my response time; I'm finally done with my semester, so I'll be on a lot more often ^^))
<Biera loped alone behind Spanky at a relaxed gait, tounge lolling slightly and tail hanging slack at her hocks. She clearly was not understanding the whole "stealth" part of hunting, which was probably a good part of the reason why she was emaciated. She simply was too domesticated for the wild, even after all of this time. The closest she'd seen to wildlife in her time chained at a dogfighting breeder's was the occasional squirrel or starling, which she barked at with zest from the end of a chain. Just barking gave some reprieve from the boredom.
So, he general opinion towards prey animals was that you could bark at them and chase them, but catching them was something completely alien to her. She was trying to learn, but even as Spanky crouched and ducked behind a bush, she was fairly oblivious. Finally she caught the scent, having trouble stifling an eager whine, and slunk towards Spanky, not being quiet enough. With any luck, the does would be too far off or too busy nursing to notice her ambling less-than-silently through the underbrush>
"So, what do we do?"
<She asked, her attention not very focused on him. She was too busy sniffing at the musky scent of the deer, tail wagging and ears perched high on her head>

::The male looked at her and cocked his eyebrow::
"Shhh, don't startle them"
::He kept crouched intill the deer perked there heads up and he went completely silent. Hoping Biera would stop the noise so they could get done quick today. Soon after the deer started grazing again. Spanky cocked his ears and started looking for the weakest... Would they make it?::

<Biera frowned, ears drooping, as the male scolded her. She knew that he was right, but she felt badly for being so incompetant and interrupting the hunt. She was always a lousy hunter, because she was simply too "dog" to have the quiet resolve required to stay silent during a hunt. The smell of the deer always excited her too much to stay silent; it made her want to leap barking from the brush to attack. Stealth, stalking; those were not a pit bull's fortes; they were all bark, chase, and bite, and very little sneakiness.
Trying her best to be silent and behave, she crouched in the bushes next to the male, waiting for the signal. Though she wasn't good on the approach, she did have the benefit of strong jaws, which could only help them if they could run the deer down. The large, fat, healthy ones appealed to her the most, but if she'd learned one thing in her time in the wild, it was that the sick or wounded ones were the best candidates. They may not have as much edible meat, but they were at least capturable>

::After watching his surroundings for awhile he spotted a young fat fawn. He cocked his eyebrow in thought for a moment. He turned to Biera and nodded for the attack. His green optics shot back at the fawn and he got up silently, got in position. Then the young male silently but quickly bolted to the young fawn, He reached the fawn and jumped up towards the throat, latching on quick, he started tugging and ripping.::
"Biera, I got it come grab the stomache"
::He kept fighting as the deers started scattering, the doe stayed watching in the field a ways away.::

<Biera watched as the male moved silently and stealthily towards the deer, wincing at her own inadequacy and fighting to remain silent and unobtrusive in the brush. Only when the male excecuted a perfect attack, latching on to the fawn's throat, did she finally bolt off after him. She'd been instructed to go for the stomach, and though the angle was awkward, she did just that. Her massive, powerful jaws, the pit bull's jaws feared so greatly by man, crushed down on the fawn's small torso. A strangle bleat broke from its mouth as she mangled it internally without so much as breaking the skin. That crushing force bore down on its soft young organs while Spanky's jaws strangled it up ahead. Today, they would eat well>

::The young male pulled and tugged on the fawn intill it collapsed on its knees. Spanky went up to the fawns maw and bit down real hard and the fawn laid down and stopped breathing. He smiled brightly and panted hard for the work. He then sat down and looked at biera wagging his tail friendly.::
"Go ahead and eat, I'll wait"
::He then winked and watched her::
