(a-Krue instead of askew. you'll get the pun after you read a bit)
Color code: blue green and purple=Me brown and pink =Lupus
One bright summer day deep in the shadowy part of the forest, sat a large afghan hound gazing into a pot of bubbling cyan liquid. As he murmured a spell, his eyes drifted to a book setting near him that used to belong to his old master. Flipping the book open with a flick of his paw, his browsed through the spells in search of something to entertain himself. He paused at a age regression spell and with a evil grin bookmarked the page. Going back to his concoction he muttered a few more words and the blue-green liquid began to fade into a image...
Meanwhile in the bright side of the forest, a young pup swathed in green sat fine tuning the sinew string of his bow. Glancing down the arrow to make sure it was perfectly straight, he notched it to his bow and drew his foreleg back, pulling the string tight before letting the arrow fly true, straight into the red circle at the center of the target he had set out. "Perfect shot" he said to nobody in particular, gathering his things and un-stringing his bow.
The hound smiled mischeviously as he found his victim. A pup swathed in a green tunic with a quiver and bow on his back. "Perfect," he almost purred. He spoke a couple sentences of a unknown language and sat back to watch the havoc he would soon wreak on this innocent dalmation.
Archer, for that was the dalmation's name, put his bow into his quiver and began to pad back home to the Dearly Farm. As he went he noticed the tree's growing a little taller and his belt feel a bit looser. "Odd..," he murmured.
The afghan, back in his workshop, eagerly watched the pot to see his evil deed done. He howled with laughter as Archer shrank, and even questioned why he was shrinking, all the while his clothes growing looser and his footsteps shorter.
As Archer shrank he began to run faster, calling out for anyone nearby who may be able to help him. He cut his paw on a sharp rock jutting out of the ground and winced as his paw-pad was deeply scored. Despite his aching paw he carried on at his fast pace, shrinking even more and more as he ran. As he came over the hill seperating him from the farm he called home, he tripped on his now far too large tunic and sumersaulted all the way down to the barn, rolling into it with a loud SMACK! before letting out a cry of pain and sobbing uncontrollably, for now, he was a complete baby!
Just then, nearby a young, green-eyed German Shepard male pup by the name of Lupus perked his ears, as he paused in his jogging exercise, hearing a baby puppy cry out in pain, seeing as how loud and continuous the crying was, and how close, he decided to run in the direction of the crying. Eventually he came across a tiny, baby Dalmatian puppy, and male by the looks of things. Uphill of the baby seemed to be a green tunic. "Hmmmm....that green cloth is rather too big for this lil' guy." he thought, but tilted his head, feeling that the baby was familiar-looking. He got down on his belly and lowered his head, about a foot from the baby. "Hey.....little guy. Are you hurt? Are you lost? " he softly, kindly asked
Archers cries slowed as he gazed up at the large, but friendly dog in front of him. He giggled softly and hugged Lupus's muzzle, forgetting all about the knot on his head.
Lupus blinked at seeing the crying baby suddenly giggle and hug his muzzle, but just smiled, "Aww.....what a sweet little boy you are. " He then noticed the bump/bruise on his head. "Uh-oh. It seems that you accidentally hurt yourself. " He then very gently, with a forepaw, rubbed the bruise after licking his paw.
Archer whimpered a little bit, but didnt cry anymore, his bump mostly sore more than anything else.
"Well....at least it doesn't seem to be ble-...oh... " Lupus blushed as he noticed drops of blood, at the spot but it wasn't streaming. So, he shrugged and decided to lick the wound several times, trying to pick up any wet blood on the baby's head. After about 6 licks, he looked down at the puppy and asked, "What's your name, lil' boy? "
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Archer tried to tell him his name but it only came out as baby speak
Lupus Vladimir: "Aww.....sounds like somepuppy can't exactly talk yet. Can you spell it out for me?" Lupus asked, as he cleared out a patch of grass, leaving nothing but soft soil, to write in, though it wasn't sand nor snow
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Archer slapped his paw all around in the dirt, not really making any letters but making a lot of smears and holes.
Lupus Vladimir: "I guess you can't spell either, or draw.:$" Lupus blushed. "Although, you do seem rather familiar, you make me think of this one male Dalmatian, far older than you, around my age I think." He turned the puppy around to face him, while gently stroking the lil' guy's back rather than his head.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: A voice came out of nowhere, raspy and deep. "Thats because he is your friend."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus perked his ears and looked around, as if he was trying to protect the baby. "Who goes there? Show yourself!" he growled, still sitting with the puppy in his lap.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: From the shadows a old wrinkly bloodhound emerged, wheezing rheumatically. "I go here." came her sarcastic reply, as she hobbled over to Lupus and the baby. "You need not fear for him," she said gently rubbing Archer under the chin. "He is a dear old friend of mine."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus growled a little more softly, but still distinctly, "Who are you?:^)" "And furthermore, who is this innocent, little puppy?:^)" he added.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: "I, my dear," she said glancing at him mysteriously, her eyes gleaming with knowledge and a odd sense of youth, "Am Phalène." She glanced at the baby in the german shepard's lap. "And that, is the one you spoke of before."
Lupus Vladimir: "It's....nice to meet you, ma'm. I'm Lupus." Lupus spoke, pondering for a moment but then blinked and stared, with a smirk of doubt in the corner of his muzzle. "You're saying this little baby is....Archie.....errr...Archer?:^)"
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: The ancient dog nodded at the question before rasping."Yes. This is my old friend. What he is doing here in this time, I do not know, but as for his current condition this can only be the work of my old apprentice Krue."
Lupus Vladimir: "Krue?" Lupus asked as he stroked Archer's back and head gently. "Also....ummmm....do you need any assistance or help, ma'm? You seem rather weak."
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Her eyes flashed dangerously but softened with a laugh as Lupus commented on her appearance. "My child, I may seem decrepit, but appearences are not always as they seem. And yes, Krue. He was once my apprentice in magic, but he was prone to trouble making and after one of his episodes I banished him from my teaching." She thought for a minute on a analogy for the current age. "Its.. similar to Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul." she chuckled wheezily at her comparison.
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus blinked, a startled at the flashing of the eyes, but simply gulped and blushed, "Ummmm....I don't really watch outer space sci-fi, ma'm. If you're not really uh......old enough to be considered dying or ill, then how old are you?:^) And what happened to you?:^)" Lupus sweated a little in fear, hearing that this Krue was her apprentice in magic, meaning she was a witch of sorts.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène sat and gazed off into space, reminescent of the fateful day. "To answer your first question," -her voice softened, but was still raspy- "I am about your age. As for why I am the way I am now, that is a long story. If you have time for it I will tell you." She glanced at Archer "We will need to wait a while before I can change him back anyway."
Lupus Vladimir: "Ummm....I guess I have time. I don't have much else to do." Lupus shrugged. But he then shyly whispered, somewhat concerned for Phalene, "But I'm not sure if you do.:$"
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: She glared sharply at him before beginning her story. "Long ago, back in mine and Archer's home land, I was a beautiful and well reknown witch. Archer was one of my closest friends, but as for how me and Archer met that story is for another time. Krue was my apprentice as I have already mentioned, and he had a terrible mischevious streak. One day I caught him terrorizing a helpless frog that had come to me for aid and I punished him. Krue is a afghan hound you see, and has very long luxurious fur. He was very prideful and valued his fur over everything else in the world. As punishment I caused him to temperarily go bald and cast him out for a few days. Unbeknownst to me, he snuck into my workshop while I was out gathering herbs, and when I returned he cast a spell on me from my high level spell book and proceeded to run off with it. I havent seen him since, and as you can see the spell turned me into this old ugly beast." she shook her head irately at the last bit, wheezing slightly from all the talking.
Lupus Vladimir: "Oh.....terribly sorry to hear." Lupus spoke and blushed shyly as he honestly added, "But you're not ugly......you're just rather old. There's a difference between the two, and I'm sure my friend Vladimir would certainly care about you regardless of ugliness or age....although he already has a girlfriend.:$"
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène raised one droopy eyebrow but said nothing further about it. "Kherm, yes well.. Now that he has resurfaced perhaps I can return to my former shape. There is one condition though.."
Lupus Vladimir: "Ummmm....that would be...what?:$" Lupus blushed. "In regards to Krue, I'm sure Vladimir and his one dark, and often violent/aggressive friend wouldn't mind dealing with him.:$"
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Her wrinkly face suddenly turned serious."I require my book. Both to return myself to my former shape, AND to fix our.. "young" friend," she said eyeing Archer as he nommed his footpaw
Lupus Vladimir: "So....we'll need to take on this Krue, who has a master or high level spell book with who knows how many spells, and strong ones at that, in order to get your spellbook so you're returned to normal age and breed, and revert Archie to normal, huh?:$:$" Lupus sweated, as he was one who didn't actually believe in witchcraft or magic, but if Archer was regressed through such a process, and what this Bloodhound told him, he'd have to accept part of it for now, but he was rather scared of taking on a mischievous mutt with a whole lot of powerful tricks.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: "Yes. And the fewer of us who go, the better. I do not want to risk anybody extra."
Lupus Vladimir: He just looked down at Archie and offered the puppy his fore right paw to suck or nom on, and replied, "Okay, so no Vladimir and no Torrance then.:$ I guess it'd be just the three of us....probably starting with me, since I'm mortal, non-magic, and normal, right?:$" He gulped at this, sweating more and more.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène smiled a little at the worried german shepard and reassuringly said "I can protect you. The results of the protection may be a bit um.. undesirable though.." she trailed off
Lupus Vladimir: "Ummmm...what would the result be?" Lupus asked. "And I'd be fine with protection, long as it doesn't involve being turned into a bug or shrunk smaller than or the same height as a roach.:$"
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène laughed softly at this remark. "Nothing too bad, but the spells require multiple steps. First I require a few ingredients." she poofed up a piece of paper and quill pen and jotted down a list of simple plants from the forest for Lupus to obtain, ranging from mushrooms to water algae. "In my current state, I can not openly negate Krue's magic should he try to charm you, but I can give you this pendant of protection." She said, slipping a glowing pink stone on a string over his head. "It will slow the effects of Krue's age magic and other trickery, and will completely protect you from any death magic he may have learned since those many years ago."
Lupus Vladimir: "D-d-d-d-d-....DEATH magic?!" Lupus shook in fear completely, but before he could get a reply, he accepted the list and the pendant, gave Archie to Phalene and just took off running into the woods, with the list in his paw, anxious to get this list over with, hoping to get back before he'd be affected by anything lethal or dangerous from Krue's spells.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: The old bloodhound patted his shoulder reassuringly before he left "Death magic is forbidden and was sealed away by the elders of my time. I highly doubt Krue would have been able to take them out." she offered a smile to further reassure Lupus.
Lupus Vladimir: Shortly after he entered the woods, Lupus easily found and grabbed a few mushrooms, collected some water algae, and acquired a few other items on the list, though some he had to carry in his mouth so he could hurry.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Krue twitched one ear as his cauldron bubbled a warning. He peered into the bubbling pot and his eyes widened with glee at the sight of a brawny german shepard who strayed into HIS forest. Whispering a few words he cast a second age regression spell and sat back to watch.
Lupus Vladimir: As Lupus continued running through the woods, he could've sworn the trees were getting bigger but he just passed it by, assuming it was merely a more thick or overgrown portion of the woods. Once he had the final piece, he began running back to the farm, but as he ran, the forest seemed to grow in size, and apparently length. He continued to run for several minutes but as it never seemed to end, he began to tire out, tripping on one of the items he was carrying, which made him simply fall, face-first into the ground. He sat up and looked around at the TALL, dark forest, feeling rather tiny and alone and began to whimper, eventually bursting into a fit of crying, dropping all the items in his mouth in front of him as the pendant hung loosely from his neck. Thing is, he didn't just shrink, he regressed into a toddler-like pup, or an age of, were he human, 18 months. Just around a year older than Archie. His whimpering and whining seemed to sum up to the questions, "Wh-..Where's da fawm? Where's home?;( Y dis fowest so BIG?!;(;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène soon padded up with Archer riding on her back. She tsked softly and nudged Lupus up onto her back before gathering the items he had dropped. "He is stronger than I thought.." she murmured
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus continued to whimper and whine, still scared of his surroundings, but blinked and saw Archer, a little taller and Phalene rather huge compared to lil' him and he whimpered as if to ask, "Y u two so big now?;(" He clearly had part of his mind leftover, but not much, as he eventually began to suck his right 'thumb' vigorously out of fear.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène smiled softly at him and gave his cheek a soft lick, padding back to the barn. "All is well little one, you're safe."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus blinked and cooed, sucking his thumb and whimpering still, tears trickling, or slowly streaming, down his cheeks from his eyes, "M-....Mama?;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène considered for a minute and nodded softly to him, knowing he'd forget later on
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus smiled for a moment but blinked and shook his head briefly and cooed, as if to say, "N-...No....u r not my mama. U r.....Phalene?;(" Clearly, what was left of his former mind was trying to control or fight the infantile/young mind that was an effect of his regression.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène finally arrived back at the yarn and gently deposited her bundles, both herbal and canine, on a stack of hay.
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus reluctantly sucked his right 'thumb' but whimpered, fearfully eyeing up at Phalene as if to ask, "Y did evewyting get so big, Phawene, and y can't me tawky?;( Me scared.;(" He began to shake in fear.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène reminded him about Krue's magic and touched the pendant on his neck."This kept you mostly safe." She regretfully added, "But not entirely.."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus then whimpered, sucking his thumb, as if to ask, "Meanie Kwu make me a baby?;(;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: She nodded in response
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus, being younger, and rather scared, couldn't help but burst into another fit of crying, as he stopped sucking his thumb and just unintentionally rolled onto his back, whining out loud in fear and sadness, but mostly fear.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène patted him softly, not really sure what to do and wishing for some help
Lupus Vladimir: Just then, in front of the TV, was a little, young female Dalmatian, wagging her tail, which caused crinkles since she was wearing a pink diaper. Her name was Abby. She perked her ears, hearing Lupus's whining, and turned around immediately, crawling up to the two babies. "Awww....wat adowable babies. Awe dey yours, ma'm?(inlove)(happy)" she happily asked, crinkle wagging, not embarrassed. Lupus stopped crying momentarily at hearing Abby's voice and looked up at her, though Abby to him was upside-down, and he would've babbled as if to ask something or go back to crying but instead he just looked at her, relaxing a little as Phalene petted him, unaware that a puddle of urine had formed between his legs.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène shook her head softly "Just a few friends of mine my dear. Do you happen to know abybody that can help take care of them..?"
Lupus Vladimir: "Well....no....but I tink I do know dis wittle German Shepard baby." Abby giggled as she smiled down at Lupus, and began to rub his belly. She eyed the Dal and smiled, "he wooks familiar too.(happy)"
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus began to relax a little more at the rubbing, kicking his hind right leg, actually smiling a little as he stopped whimpering to boot.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène smiled a bit at the two. "Well, this may be hard to believe but I think you DO know them my dear."
Lupus Vladimir: Abby smiled at the Dal, "I tink dat's Archie..." she then looked at the German Shepard, who was now sucking his thumb, with an infantile grin, and giggled, "and you must be..Lulu...no..no....uhhh....Lupus! " Lupus smiled more and nodded his head at hearing his name, wagging his tail as he sucked his thumb.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Archer giggled and rolled into Lupus, still chewing his back paw
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus felt Archer roll into him and would've begun to whimper but it was an accident and somewhat soft, so he didn't. Abby sniffed the air, and smiled down at Lupus, "Uh-oh. Someone went wee-wee.(chuckle)" Lupus looked down between his lil' legs and blushed as he put his fore left paw to his chest as if to ask Abby and Phalene, "Me?:$:$" Abby nodded, giggling but eyed Phalene and smiled sweetly, "My name's Abby, by the way, ma'm."
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: "Phalène" the old bloodhound replied with a soft smile "Erm.. I do not know how to solve his problem.." she eyed Lupus as she spoke
Lupus Vladimir: "Heehee....Dat easy. Just wipe or clean his stinky and sticky butt and give him a new diaper, so his wee-wee or poopy doesn't go everywhere." Abby smiled, as she actually got on her back and began to undiaper herself, wagging her tail still, while Lupus tilted his head, not entirely knowing what Abby was doing, given his young state, but he still blushed. He eyed up at BIG Phalene as if to say, "We gonna get dat Kwue, wight?;( Me no wanna be baby fowever.;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène nodded to reassure him and followed Abby's directions
Lupus Vladimir: After a while, Abby succeeded in taking off the pink diaper and gave it to Phalene, and smiled, "Just adjust this diapee so it fits the tiny puppy and put it on him." Lupus saw the diaper and noticed it was pink at which he began to whimper and whine, as if to say, "NO PINKY! Me no want pink diapee!;( Me no girl. Me boy! Me Big boy!;(;(" Abby blushed at this, figuring that she should've expected such a reaction.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène easily solved the problem after observing the diaper, by poofing up a pile of blue and green ones with designs and handing Abby back her original diaper, before fixing Lupus and Archer up in their diapers

One bright summer day deep in the shadowy part of the forest, sat a large afghan hound gazing into a pot of bubbling cyan liquid. As he murmured a spell, his eyes drifted to a book setting near him that used to belong to his old master.

He turned the puppy around to face him, while gently stroking the lil' guy's back rather than his head.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: A voice came out of nowhere, raspy and deep. "Thats because he is your friend."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus perked his ears and looked around, as if he was trying to protect the baby. "Who goes there? Show yourself!" he growled, still sitting with the puppy in his lap.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: From the shadows a old wrinkly bloodhound emerged, wheezing rheumatically. "I go here." came her sarcastic reply, as she hobbled over to Lupus and the baby. "You need not fear for him," she said gently rubbing Archer under the chin. "He is a dear old friend of mine."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus growled a little more softly, but still distinctly, "Who are you?:^)" "And furthermore, who is this innocent, little puppy?:^)" he added.

If you're not really uh......old enough to be considered dying or ill, then how old are you?:^) And what happened to you?:^)" Lupus sweated a little in fear, hearing that this Krue was her apprentice in magic, meaning she was a witch of sorts.

She said, slipping a glowing pink stone on a string over his head. "It will slow the effects of Krue's age magic and other trickery, and will completely protect you from any death magic he may have learned since those many years ago."
Lupus Vladimir: "D-d-d-d-d-....DEATH magic?!" Lupus shook in fear completely, but before he could get a reply, he accepted the list and the pendant, gave Archie to Phalene and just took off running into the woods, with the list in his paw, anxious to get this list over with, hoping to get back before he'd be affected by anything lethal or dangerous from Krue's spells.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: The old bloodhound patted his shoulder reassuringly before he left "Death magic is forbidden and was sealed away by the elders of my time. I highly doubt Krue would have been able to take them out." she offered a smile to further reassure Lupus.
Lupus Vladimir: Shortly after he entered the woods, Lupus easily found and grabbed a few mushrooms, collected some water algae, and acquired a few other items on the list, though some he had to carry in his mouth so he could hurry.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Krue twitched one ear as his cauldron bubbled a warning. He peered into the bubbling pot and his eyes widened with glee at the sight of a brawny german shepard who strayed into HIS forest. Whispering a few words he cast a second age regression spell and sat back to watch.
Lupus Vladimir: As Lupus continued running through the woods, he could've sworn the trees were getting bigger but he just passed it by, assuming it was merely a more thick or overgrown portion of the woods. Once he had the final piece, he began running back to the farm, but as he ran, the forest seemed to grow in size, and apparently length. He continued to run for several minutes but as it never seemed to end, he began to tire out, tripping on one of the items he was carrying, which made him simply fall, face-first into the ground. He sat up and looked around at the TALL, dark forest, feeling rather tiny and alone and began to whimper, eventually bursting into a fit of crying, dropping all the items in his mouth in front of him as the pendant hung loosely from his neck. Thing is, he didn't just shrink, he regressed into a toddler-like pup, or an age of, were he human, 18 months. Just around a year older than Archie. His whimpering and whining seemed to sum up to the questions, "Wh-..Where's da fawm? Where's home?;( Y dis fowest so BIG?!;(;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène soon padded up with Archer riding on her back. She tsked softly and nudged Lupus up onto her back before gathering the items he had dropped. "He is stronger than I thought.." she murmured
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus continued to whimper and whine, still scared of his surroundings, but blinked and saw Archer, a little taller and Phalene rather huge compared to lil' him and he whimpered as if to ask, "Y u two so big now?;(" He clearly had part of his mind leftover, but not much, as he eventually began to suck his right 'thumb' vigorously out of fear.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène smiled softly at him and gave his cheek a soft lick, padding back to the barn. "All is well little one, you're safe."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus blinked and cooed, sucking his thumb and whimpering still, tears trickling, or slowly streaming, down his cheeks from his eyes, "M-....Mama?;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène considered for a minute and nodded softly to him, knowing he'd forget later on
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus smiled for a moment but blinked and shook his head briefly and cooed, as if to say, "N-...No....u r not my mama. U r.....Phalene?;(" Clearly, what was left of his former mind was trying to control or fight the infantile/young mind that was an effect of his regression.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène finally arrived back at the yarn and gently deposited her bundles, both herbal and canine, on a stack of hay.
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus reluctantly sucked his right 'thumb' but whimpered, fearfully eyeing up at Phalene as if to ask, "Y did evewyting get so big, Phawene, and y can't me tawky?;( Me scared.;(" He began to shake in fear.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène reminded him about Krue's magic and touched the pendant on his neck."This kept you mostly safe." She regretfully added, "But not entirely.."
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus then whimpered, sucking his thumb, as if to ask, "Meanie Kwu make me a baby?;(;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: She nodded in response
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus, being younger, and rather scared, couldn't help but burst into another fit of crying, as he stopped sucking his thumb and just unintentionally rolled onto his back, whining out loud in fear and sadness, but mostly fear.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène patted him softly, not really sure what to do and wishing for some help
Lupus Vladimir: Just then, in front of the TV, was a little, young female Dalmatian, wagging her tail, which caused crinkles since she was wearing a pink diaper. Her name was Abby. She perked her ears, hearing Lupus's whining, and turned around immediately, crawling up to the two babies. "Awww....wat adowable babies. Awe dey yours, ma'm?(inlove)(happy)" she happily asked, crinkle wagging, not embarrassed. Lupus stopped crying momentarily at hearing Abby's voice and looked up at her, though Abby to him was upside-down, and he would've babbled as if to ask something or go back to crying but instead he just looked at her, relaxing a little as Phalene petted him, unaware that a puddle of urine had formed between his legs.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène shook her head softly "Just a few friends of mine my dear. Do you happen to know abybody that can help take care of them..?"
Lupus Vladimir: "Well....no....but I tink I do know dis wittle German Shepard baby." Abby giggled as she smiled down at Lupus, and began to rub his belly. She eyed the Dal and smiled, "he wooks familiar too.(happy)"
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus began to relax a little more at the rubbing, kicking his hind right leg, actually smiling a little as he stopped whimpering to boot.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène smiled a bit at the two. "Well, this may be hard to believe but I think you DO know them my dear."
Lupus Vladimir: Abby smiled at the Dal, "I tink dat's Archie..." she then looked at the German Shepard, who was now sucking his thumb, with an infantile grin, and giggled, "and you must be..Lulu...no..no....uhhh....Lupus! " Lupus smiled more and nodded his head at hearing his name, wagging his tail as he sucked his thumb.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Archer giggled and rolled into Lupus, still chewing his back paw
Lupus Vladimir: Lupus felt Archer roll into him and would've begun to whimper but it was an accident and somewhat soft, so he didn't. Abby sniffed the air, and smiled down at Lupus, "Uh-oh. Someone went wee-wee.(chuckle)" Lupus looked down between his lil' legs and blushed as he put his fore left paw to his chest as if to ask Abby and Phalene, "Me?:$:$" Abby nodded, giggling but eyed Phalene and smiled sweetly, "My name's Abby, by the way, ma'm."
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: "Phalène" the old bloodhound replied with a soft smile "Erm.. I do not know how to solve his problem.." she eyed Lupus as she spoke
Lupus Vladimir: "Heehee....Dat easy. Just wipe or clean his stinky and sticky butt and give him a new diaper, so his wee-wee or poopy doesn't go everywhere." Abby smiled, as she actually got on her back and began to undiaper herself, wagging her tail still, while Lupus tilted his head, not entirely knowing what Abby was doing, given his young state, but he still blushed. He eyed up at BIG Phalene as if to say, "We gonna get dat Kwue, wight?;( Me no wanna be baby fowever.;("
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène nodded to reassure him and followed Abby's directions
Lupus Vladimir: After a while, Abby succeeded in taking off the pink diaper and gave it to Phalene, and smiled, "Just adjust this diapee so it fits the tiny puppy and put it on him." Lupus saw the diaper and noticed it was pink at which he began to whimper and whine, as if to say, "NO PINKY! Me no want pink diapee!;( Me no girl. Me boy! Me Big boy!;(;(" Abby blushed at this, figuring that she should've expected such a reaction.
Mia Fluffybutt ƸӜƷ: Phalène easily solved the problem after observing the diaper, by poofing up a pile of blue and green ones with designs and handing Abby back her original diaper, before fixing Lupus and Archer up in their diapers
