learning and growing every day

The early spring weather still nipped at the nose as Corbie trotted from the barn out into the range with a bouncy stride. It was a good season, with Corvus and Twig's litter now yearlings and ready to take up their places in the pack as full members in their own right. She intended to take each of them in turn to evaluate them and get to know them, and today she'd decided it would be a good day to bring young Jay out to teach some of her skills in hunting. It was a clear, if chilly, day so there were no major conditions to make things more difficult for a new apprentice, though of course she'd make sure to bring them out in a wide variety of conditions later. Lifting her muzzle, she called out for Jay.
