[atrb=background,http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad340/Toki_Graphix/Posting%20Tables/Ebony---Australian-Shepherd-1.png] A light breeze moved through the quiet streets, causing rubbish to lift into the air, before gently dropping to the ground a few meters away. All was still; it was raining, and most humans were smart enough to stay inside their homes. The only thing moving through the streets was a dog, her tri- coloured pelt dripping as the rain hit it. This didn't seem to bother her much. She had been walking for a while now, and her paws were bloodied; walking on concrete wasn't the best think for a dog's soft paw pads. The dog sat down in the middle of the pavement, not caring about the rain and the stinging in her paws. she stared up into a plainly visible window boredly , and saw the warm scene of a family settling down to supper, the family dog dozing by the open fire. The father of the household held his knife and fork, eagerly awaiting his dinner. She sighed, and her heart ached for a family to love her...just, love her and take care of her, so she wouldn't have to get wet and cold again. she was a pure-bred after all, so why would getting a family be so difficult? she was well trained and she looked presentable, even with the hard life of a stray, her long coat still shone and looked groomed...the only problem was that she was far too timid- But with good reason, with what happened to her she would most probably never trust a male again. and humans seemed to always want a playful dog... The female clenched her eyes shut and shook her head at the thought "No, ebony, you can't give up...i-its weak... you can't get the cushy life of a pet" Ebony spat the last word and sighed to herself, as she remembered what humans could do to a dog. They could coop you up inside a house, not feeding you and stopping you from finding your own grub while they're at it. They can hurt you and leave you, even after they tell you they'll love you forever. She shook her waterlogged pelt slightly, and the pink ribbons that hung from her ears became looser. She stopped shaking, thinking it was a waste of time anyway, and looked round, a slightly fearful edge to her chocolaty eyes. She knew it wasn't safe for her to hang around here for long, especially with the dogcatcher on the prowl. She stood up, taking one last look in the window, and went into a nearby alley. She shivered once again, and slunk down onto her belly, her side pressed against the cold alley wall. Ebony lowered her head onto her paws and closed her eyes tight, hoping for sleep to take her; just so she could escape the horrible reality of being a stray, even if it was only for five minutes. It was quiet, the only noises being the rain pounding against the concrete, and the engines of cars zipping past the alley's entrance. In a way she hoped that someone would come and talk to her, just so she wouldn't be lonely, but her fear overided that want; What if the dog wanted to hurt her or something? Ebony suddenly wished that no dog would come near her. She shivered again, not from the cold this time, but for the fear of getting hurt once again.
