Poem heard Shae reply from ahead, assuring her mother she was watching her step and wouldn’t get too close to the water. Now that the pups were out and about the new mom wasn’t sure she’d made the right decision. She wanted to keep them protected inside the den. Forever. She was forever grateful for the many eyes that were around to look out for wandering puppies. Behind her Poem could hear the soft crunch of snow beneath tiny paws. Poet was right behind them. She couldn’t help the playful grin on her features as she paced forward slowly.

She nearly stopped when the sound of him was nearly close enough to touch, and with only… three moments hesitation the boy was suddenly attached to her tail. ”Eep!” She didn’t have to fake crying out, his teeth were sharp and she was reminded of how nice it was to have them weaned. ”You did! What a good tracker you are!” She told him as she ignored the piercing little teeth. She curled around and mussed his head with her chin, ”Would my smart boy like to patrol with Shae and Mom?” She chuckled and pulled back, making sure he released her poor tail at the same time with a kiss.
