Checkup

Moonshine quickly decided that she loved the water. Just like she loved being out of the den, or loved the dirt, or loved the green things growing around them. Her features seemed to always host a smile, but as she played in the water her tongue lolled out of her mouth and she panted with effort as she raced around and expended all of her extra energy.

Saying Moon was high energy was an understatement, she raced wherever she went. She’d also picked up a habit of head butting, however less effective her bare skull was. That wasn’t on her mind now though, all she could think about was the clear water and the beating of the waves.

She didn’t notice the call of the strange woman, but her mother was insistent. ”But, mom!” Moonshine whined softly but followed anyway. With pale blue eyes the charcoal marked pup looked up at the dark woman. Unafraid she approached, her long haired ivory tail wagging happily behind her. She wiggled excitedly, completely forgetting the water she’d left behind.
