such a nice day, isn't it?

A warm summer breeze ruffled through Bellamy’s dusty-brown fur as she loped along the soft grass. She had no destination in mind, really; she was really just here to enjoy the scenery. As far as her eyes could see, small green shrubs and trees dotted the landscape, giving the area feel distinctly lush and alive. A small smile played along the young female’s lips, feeling especially energized thanks to the mid-afternoon air and the nice landscape. On a whim, the girl quickened her pace until she was sprinting, wind rushing through her coat and buffeting her chest, cream-tipped paws flying haphazardly across the supple ground. She dodged the skinny tree-trunks narrowly; eventually the trees cleared slightly.

Belle let out a whoop and skidded to a stop, letting her momentum take control as she tumbled in a giggling heap onto the silky-soft grass, rolling so her eyes were facing the clouds. At this time, the young female’s mind was free of worries or responsibility; just full of freedom and possibilities. She hadn’t been travelling on her own for long at all, but she felt good about it so far; it was only going to get better, as far as the naïve female was concerned. She was supporting herself, hadn’t yet run into any obstacle that she couldn’t work around, and her rudimentary hunting skills had managed to tide her through… for now, at least. She rolled back onto her stomach abruptly and sprawled out, contentedly allowing the sun’s rays to bathe her back in warmth.
