Zabrina had found lunch. When her mommy came back she would be so proud of her. So far she'd found water and food and shelter all by herself! Zabrina was super proud of herself so she could only imagine how proud her momma would be. Though she may have been little she was basically a grown up now - maybe her mom would let her be in charge sometimes! She was doing - in her opinion - a good job of it so why not?
The tiny pup settled down with her back to the stony crevice she'd been calling home for the day or so and pulled her lunch close. It was a squirrel tail - she had no idea where the rest of it was - and even though it was pretty dry and crackly it still smelled like squirrel so that meant it was still good, right?
She popped the squirrel tail into her mouth and started to chew vigorously. Her enthusiasm faded quickly, however, as the lackluster flavor filled her mouth. Boy it was dry. And fluffy. Maybe she should have pulled some of the fur off first.
Zabrina spit the tail out and began to yank on the brittle fur. It came out in tufts and all seemed to be going well when she noticed that she was losing an awful lot of whatever was beneath the fur - meat? skin? it all looked the same - and leaving nothing but bone behind. Well that was no good! She couldn't make a meal out of nothing but little tiny bones.
Aggrieved with the stupid, uncooperative tail Zabrina kicked it away. It was fine, she'd look for something else to eat. Something better. Something she could share with her mom when she finally came back.
