To The Grande

Open to anyone.
It had been a long three weeks? travel. Gerhardt?s paws were nearly bleeding from the constant movement. His tongue lolled out of his mouth as he slowed to a halt. The trip could have been ? and would have been ? much shorter if it had not been for the three pups he and Adette had adopted along the way. Maverick, Valkis, and Kamala had lost their parents in an apparent volcano eruption, and Gerhardt had not had the heart to leave them to the same fate. Adette, having recently lost a litter, had taken the pups in with relative ease. Now they were nearly ready to wean completely onto solid food. He tossed his head back to gaze at the lot of them, Adette at his side and the three pups in tow. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, but was soon lost as a cold jet of air blasted him in the face. The day was nearly half spent and they had not found a suitable place to rest yet. Being that he knew very little about this land, he knew that he would have to work fast to find somewhere for them to spend the night. ?You four, I?m going up ahead to see if there?s anywhere we can settle for the night.? He picked up a bumpy lope and sped up ahead, knowing that Adette could keep the pups under control until he returned. Truth be told he was getting a bit exasperated with their antics, particularly the boys. They were a handful, and he wasn?t sure how well he would connect with them. Gerhardt hadn?t been around pups much, although Adette seemed to know quite a bit about them. As he came up over a small hill, he noted a colossal river spanning horizontally for miles. A great sigh welled up in his chest and hissed out of agape jaws as he staggered forward and into the water. It was cool and crisp, and just the thing he needed after the long day. Tossing his head up he let out a chorus of barks to beckon them forth to the river. Fish splashed all around him in protest of his invasion of their space, but he didn?t care. Shifting downward he laid on his stomach and let the cool water flow over his bodice. Speech, |
