Description

Something I started a long time ago and randomly decided to finish. This was inspired by "Survivors" which is my absolute favorite book series. The new one comes out on Tuesday so this is my way of celebrating. If our dogs were in these stories I KNOW who would be alpha: Cricket. No question about it. Size wouldn't matter, he'd be leading the pack! Foxy would be his constant companion and mate...might a bit one-sided but Foxy is totally in love with him. Nemo would be the tracker with his hound dog nose and Wahya would be on patrol for danger...that is if she doesn't get too distracted with chasing squirrels and rolling around like a derp. Roo may act vicious but he's all bark and no bite, he'd probably get himself into trouble and need the pack to save him. But no one would cause more chaos than Chico! I mean just look at him. The pack won't get much sleep with him around. XD

I can't wait for the new book and if you haven't read the series I highly recommend it. Who cares that it's for "young adults"? Y'know "The Lion King" is also technically "for kids" but it's the best movie of all time and don't you dare argue with me on that. XD Anyways, I saved the sketch for this somewhere but it was messy and originally didn't even have Roo on it so eh...might upload it to stash later, we'll see.

I have the whole first series and the first book from series two in paperback, waiting for the second to go to paperback and eventually the third. I always check the new one out from the local library the second they get it in. Can't wait! ;v;

Good things are good things regardless of their target audience. Anyone who gives "It's kids stuff" or "I'm too old" as their only excuse for why they don't like something is as immature as a guy constantly boasting about how "manly" he is or a girl who thinks that she has to discard every aspect of femininity to be strong (reference the amazing Silver Quill who has done several analysis videos on how femininity and strength not only can go hand in hand but should as an overly masculine female can be just as insulting and harmful as an overly feminine female; he even praises how Rarity as a character is portrayed as she is extremely traditionally female but can and will stand up for herself and others, physically if need be). I can respect most reasons that are actual reasons but claiming you dislike solely because you're outside of the target audience gets no respect from me.

Agree 100%!! As for being overly masculine or feminine, I've always hated stereotypes and think people should just be true to themselves. Don't put on an act for anyone else and like what you like regardless of labels. Boys can like both ninja turtles and my little pony, girls can like barbie and batman. Who says certain shows/toys are exclusive to one gender? Boys shouldn't be afraid to play with toys deemed "for girls" if that's what they like. Just let kids be kids. Why do we even have a "pink aisle" and a "blue aisle"...or link certain colors to genders. Pink is historically a "masculine" color anyway, not that it matters. Personally I think society needs to stop genderizing everything so much. Same goes for judging stuff based on the target age group. I hate the stereotype that "cartoons are for kids" unless it's an "adult cartoon" like Family Guy. No, animation is a beautiful form of art that can and should be enjoyed by everyone. Ooh well, I ranted. Sorry! XD

It's fine. I quite agree. My family had a summer where one of my aunts made butterfly wings for the 4 oldest cousins, female me, 2 girls and a boy, and all were delighted with their gift. Admittedly, the boy then proceeded to pretend to be a butterfly-eating monster but I think that had more to do with him wanting to chase us girls than caring about being boyish. I have less of a problem with things being targeted at a group, since that's the creator's choice, and more a problem with "That's for X and you're Y so you can't like it." And some things that are "for girls" are dumb; like Littlest Pet Shop toys. What's so girly about bobbleheads, even if some of them are pink? I was always encouraged to do what I loved though when I was younger, I did have limits. Those however were more along the lines of "This show is too violent; I don't think you should watch it." or "This is a rip off of Pokemon; I don't want you watching it." (true story on both accounts; my mom thought Power Rangers was too violent and Digimon was a Pokemon rip off) than anything else and once I reached my teens, my parents trusted my judgment even if they didn't understand my tastes.

I can’t wait either. But I am curious about the book which will follow it. I can’t help but wonder if it might allude to the return of certain characters from the past...namely Red Beta (red = Beta, Moon = Moon herself…).

But I am glad you would have big dogs and little dogs. I am kind of hoping for a dachshund or a Chihuahua to appear (it might be harder to survive, but you are small enough to fit in certain places).Β

I hadn't even heard about the fourth book yet, that is an intriguing title! Hopefully the wait won't be as long this time. XD Well we do have Daisy (westie/jack russell mix) and Sunshine (maltese) so there are some small dogs but I'd LOVE to see a chihuahua.
