Lazy Day

Paws had carried the small female along the rolling dunes of sand out and away from this tiny slice of paradise. Meadow had decided to go exploring today and she had heard of places outside of the oasis. So, her curiosity had found out there, among the swirling dunes of sand. She had traveled and seen much. Now she finds herself once more by the crystal-clear water of the oasis. Her pads ache from the hike and she lays near a small patch of grass, under the shade of a palm tree with her front paws dipped into the cool water. The sun blazes high in the sky as the light colored female lounges by the water's edge. Humming softly to herself as she relaxes, Meadow’s eyelids began to droop.

Eyes slowly slide shut as the water eases the slight pain and helps her to cool down. Thoughts drift along with the clouds, lazily wandering from one subject to the next. She has found a new home and how Resin and Iolaire are a part of that. A smile spreads across her lips as she thinks of them now. They are her life. However, she is a part of something bigger now. A pack. She hopes that they all will become her family too.

Her humming lulls her into a sense of safety as she continues to ponders things. The thoughts of others being proud of her lifts her spirits and the woman almost misses the sound of someone approaching. Ears swivel and eyes open as Meadow removes her paws from the water. Moving into a seated position and shaking the water from her feet, the woman readies herself to greet the other.
