New Scenery

Today he had taken a break from his tracking and had spent most of the morning cleaning out his den. His bedding had grown old and dry, no longer soft and comfortable like it had once been. So it was time to clean out, making several trips from his den with mouthfuls of old bedding. He ditched them outside of the den area. That didn't take long, but hunting down new bedding and relining his den had taken much longer. When the male had finished he was lounging under his willow tree, just inches from the opening of his den. He was still quite pleased with this spot and that his den was down under the large roots of the willow tree.

The howl from his brother drew his lazy head up and his yawned before he briefly stretched. The call had sounded welcoming, so Jackson was gonna go meet up with him. Perhaps he was doing something interesting today and he wouldn't mind company. Standing up the male took off at an easy lope, not rushing to find his brother. It hadn't taken him long to find his brother, but what he didn't expect was the strange female by his side. Although the new face didn't bother Jackson much, he had always loved to meet others. He had never been one to be weary about meeting others either.

With his tail wagging the male approached and dipped his head politely to the both of them.

"Afternoon," he greeted with a warm smile.
