Most ghosts don't 'grow up'. But some do. Shadoxes, for instance. :3
We're ghostly creatures to be sure, capable of limboing between life and death...but, we do often stick to the 'living' side of things. And like any healthy living canine, we're perfectly capable of procreation. Which is a wonderful thing, you know. Because that means...puppies! :D One of the Best Things to Happen Ever™, I'm sure we all can agree!
Which means...I was a puppy too, once! Yes, it's true - I was once EVEN MORE ADORABLE than I am now. If you find that hard to believe...just see for yourself! Here's a photo of me back then, being a roly-poly little scamp and learning my new ghostly abilities. I'm kind of a lazy 'dox, really; but I did get VERY good at telekinesis. I mean, it got me food! Why wouldn't I master the art?
Yep, I've always been a fatty. From the moment I learned to wobble on four legs and before my eyes had even opened, I was sniffing around, looking for more food than just my momma-dox's milk. Food is certainly a passion for most doggies, but QUADRUPLE so for me... Just look at those bright, energetic, radiant puppy eyes and that drooling, panting tongue... That floating, bobbing Poké Puff was my world and everything at that moment. <3 Yip!
Well...it was until it touched my lil' jaws, and it fell right down my gluttonous puppy-gullet, anyways. Then it was time to find another delicious snack to focus all my love upon...! I was such a happy young pup... ^^
----------------------------------
With all this news of that adorable pupper Iwanko out and about, I figured it would be a nice time to post this. I absolutely adore Iwanko too...but I wanted to point out he's not the ONLY adorable lil' doggy around. <3
This fantastic image was a commission drawn by Furreon, an artist who draws the DANG CUTEST THINGS. ...Especially doggehs! Lately they've done a lot of confectionery-pups, made of fooood, they're TOO SWEET PUN INTENDED. ;-; Check them out!
Anyways...wuff! ^^ This was just supposed to be a picture of normal-me getting excited over food and being cute...but...a happy accident happened. Furreon ended up drawing me in a much more compact body-type with shorter limbs, much like you would see on a much younger dog. So...I asked them to run with it. <3 Youthful-scruffy fur all over, shorter snout, disproportionate ears...
The end result was the simply-too-precious result you see here. This is the first picture of my cub form yet to exist, but suffice to say, it's probably gonna remain the best one for a loooong time. <3 It is so utterly perfect!
Though I have plans to do more cubby-Shadoxy stuff at some point in the future~!
For the curious, this is the height difference between fully-grown me and middle-of-being-a-puppy me: http://puu.sh/ppRcg/f0197b4305.png (And at 1'06" as a puppy, I am actually 2 inches shorter than Iwanko...huh. :O He might pick on me!)
I do love asking you guys questions when I can, so, everyone! What would you do if you found puppy-me just romping about? ^_^ Hugs? Feeding? Taking me home with you? I am curious what sort of things you would do with energetic puppy-Charem, so comment below!
