Don't Stop Believing

Leo hadn't noticed the cub till it was far too late to stop him from launching his forepaws dangerously close to his sister's head. His fur stood on end with worry when he heard Carletta's small grunt of pain. He wanted to be mad at Ambrosio and scold him for doing such a thing, but the child's exclamation about being grossed out by the pup being wet just made him sigh and shake his head. He couldn't be mad at the boy when all he ever wanted to do was play. Leo quickly realized he should have explained all of this to his adoptive son before now, but it was little too late for that. His ears perked and he glanced toward his mate when she mentioned that more were coming. He reached over to Ambrosio and scooped the boy up by his scruff, placing him back down on the oposite side of him from Carletta, giving the top of his head a lick. "You need to be very gentle with your new siblings, okay? When they get bigger you can play with them all you want, but right now you'll hurt them very easily. Right now we just need to be very supportive for mom because she has to work very hard to have the rest of the puppies," he quickly explained. He was ready to grab Ambrosio again just in case the cub tried to pounce on anyone again, but he turned most of his focus back to Carletta, giving her soothing licks over the back of her ears. |
