the night we met

"Five more minutes, mom..." The boy murmured as he got nudged and pushed on. His ears pressed back in annoyance as he was forced to wake up. Well, he wasn't being forced to do anything, he could just continue sleeping. But some time later, he realized who it was as he slowly came to and found it was in fact Dova pushing on him and not his mother. It had been a while since he had last seen his mother, but the shock as a pup of not seeing her for so long still wore on him. He still dreamed about his parents and family a lot. For now though, he would slowly raise his head, one eye opening then the second. The pup would yawn and stretch, rolling over onto his back to find Dova's behind already trotting off.

"Hey!" He barked, standing up shaking and trotting on after her. Fortunately his larger gait allowing him to close the distance quickly.

"You know, I was quite happy to be asleep..." He grumbled, pouting a touch as he watched Dova now put her nose to the ground and begin sniffing. He blinked a few times, before his ears would pivot forward.

"OOOH I love hunting!" He spoke too much, entirely too much. His entire being was just a bundle of chaos and he too would press dark nose to the ground his tail up in the air with excitement as he bristled and looked around for something to catch.
