Hey all! Thanks to those who favourite my story ^^ you have no idea how much that means to me.

Sorry this chapter is a bit late getting up. I wanted it to be online earlier, but haven't been on the computer in a while ^^'

And yes, my favourite smiley is ^^

"There. That'll keep you out of trouble."

Gilbert almost went cross-eyed, looking at the small black thing on his muzzle. 'challenge accepted' he thought, watching as Roderich Edelstein, his owner, came back into the room wearing a pair of gloves and began to pick up the torn yummy-stuff that is kept in the thing-he-must-not-knock-down-but-just-can't-resist. Roderich kept on muttering things about destructive puppies and how it seemed impossible how Gilbert has turned out.

Having nothing to do now, Gilbert turned around and headed out the back door to go outside. His claws, trimmed back to perfection somehow, always make sharp clink sounds on the wooden floors of the bottom story of the house, which is the only part of the house he and all the other dogs are allowed in.

When he reaches the door, Gilbert pauses to see what's going on. Elizabeta, Roderich's girlfriend, is on her knees playing with Ludwig. "No one wants to play with me" he grumbles quietly. His brother is the "cute" one, the one everyone wants to spend time with. Ludwig's eyes are the perfect colour for a German Shepherd, his coat also in really good condition. Him? His eyes are blood red, which seems to freak everyone out. His coat, though in good condition, is a silvery white. Because of being odd through his appearance, no one wants to play with him.

Noticing, to his relief, that Germania is not in the yard, Gilbert leaps down the small three steps and hits the grass with a solid thump before running to the sole tree, in the opposite direction of Ludwig and Elizabeta. Skidding to a stop, his probably best friend, who he named Gilbird due to the birds awesomeness, tweeted from the branches, flying down and landing on Gilbert's head. Huffing a greeting to the small yellow bird, Gilbert sits down and begins to work on the small black thing on his muzzle. For some reason, it's a bit stretchy, but he can't open his mouth wide enough to do all the things he loves doing. Getting into what the humans call "rubbish" and grabbing Ludwig's friend's ears and tugging are just examples of some of his favourite past times.

"Elizabeta! Can you watch Ludwig and Germania for a while? I've enrolled Gilbert into puppy classes, and his first session is today" Roderich called out from the house. Gilbird flies back to the tree and it's nest as Roderich leaves the house, heading for Gilbert. Gilbert glances up, still trying to get the muzzle off and therefore was too late to escape his dreaded fate. Roderich quickly bends down and, grabbing Gilbert by the scruff of his neck to hold him, clips on a black collar with a silver cross onto it, cheap nylon lead already attached.

"We are NOT going for a walk" Gilbert growls out, ears plastered to the back of his head and legs locked. Despite all of this, he ended up getting dragged to a very flashy silver BMW and being thrown into a crate in the back.

"Better not try to give me up again. We all know how that turns out." Gilbert lies down onto the blanket of the crate, moping as he thinks about all of his memories of this car. Roderich would put him in the crate and take him to a new family. This new "family" would be very happy to see him, but in the end they always neglected him. He tried to get their attention, but they ended up getting very mad and frustrated with him. He would always be returned back to Roderich, with his so called family saying that he was a pain and not trainable.

Gilbert glances out of the window, or what he could see of the window. His red eyes dim and he huffs a sigh. He had been "re-homed", as everyone like to call it, three times already. He knew Roderich was just as frustrated with him as the other people, he just hoped that he wouldn't be dumped like his ma.

Hoped you liked it!

Next chapter, I'm going to introduce "Matilda", or Mattie. Yes, I made Canada a female dog. Go ahead with the jokes if you want xD
