I think the Arroyo one was being searched for in YKTS at one point. No idea if it was found, but you're not the only.
I wish I could help you with the second, it sounds interesting.
I MIGHT have found the 2nd one after Google searching. Sadly, it was hosted on a now dead Geocities page. It is indeed called Neoterrestrials and it is by Chris Wagner aka mogwai_toejam aka Akktri. I sent him private message on Furaffinity and emailed him as well. Now I have to wait for him to confirm or deny. I asked him to reupload the story but I read something about it maybe being a roleplay so what I was reading could be roleplay excerpts fashioned into a story. I'll have to wait and see.
EDIT: Chris Wagner confirmed it, he did write the Neoterrestrials story. Sadly, it is dead now.

Bump, still need to find out what the Arroyo story was.

Bump for Arroyo story.
Finally found the Arroyo story via Reddit! It's called "Just Call Me Stupid" by Tom Birdseye!
Two stories I remember reading but can't find:
1.!FOUND!I asked this before. A story I read with my grandma so it's 1999 or older. There's a boy and a girl sitting by a river and the girl starts singing the word Arroyo. The boy gets annoyed with her singing and calls her a wetback, triggering her Berserk Button. A lizard was also involved, can't remember if it was the boys pet or a wild lizard. May have been part of a story compilation.!FOUND! It's "Just Call Me Stupid" by Tom Birdseye!
2.!FOUND!A scifi furry/anthro story I read in 2002 so its 2002 or older. No yiff, as I was a religious Safesearch user back then. There was a ferret who at one point was described as "boring" and he was crying his eyes out over his friends dying in a building of some sort and saying "My liege, I could have been them!" At one point he and this anthro dog got in a car and the dog consoled the ferret. Sometime later in the story, I remember a fight scene in an office with an Action Girl. Flamethrowers and Ridiculously Cute Critter may have been involved. At one point, I think the ferret guy complimented how cute the critters were. I remember the URL said something like "Neoterrestrials" or "Neoteddestrials" somewhere but that's all I have to work with. Anyone?!FOUND! It IS Neoterrestrials by mogwai toejam AKA Akktri.
