Beach Bash

Eyes sparkle as she looks to Indigo, the taller wolf nuzzling the top of her head pulls a giggle from her. When he thanks her, she waves a paw and says, “Of course! Everyone deserves presents! I hope you like yours.” His attention seems to wander but Meadow does not mind as she instructs him to lower his head. Patting his paw lovingly, she waits for him to close his eyes. His tail wagging does not escape her attention and she really hopes he likes her present.

Retrieving the gift, pulling it carefully from her bag so as not to ruin the flowers, Meadow takes a moment to inspect it. It had taken her a long time to weave the flower crown together. She had used flowers from the garden and stalks of the long grass. White tulips make up the majority of plants but there are two big yellow sunflowers sit on either side of the crown. The big, yellow plants sharing their happy faces with the world. In the middle, right above his forehead, will sit a bright red rose. That is her ultimate achievement. It had taken her a few, painfilled hours to remove all the thorns before she wove it in.

To Meadow, it is more than just a crown of flowers. This small gesture is her showing Indigo that she thinks he is a King and he always will be in her heart. Slipping the crown onto his head, she takes a step back and smiles. “Okay! You can open your eyes now!” she happily tells him. When his eyes are open, Meadow bows deeply and says, “Happiest of happy days to the one and only King of the Gardeners!” Standing, she looks at him and finishes, “Long may he reign!” Sitting back, she claps her paws before asking, “Is it okay?”
