First day of my life

Song would have given his life for any of his pups without a second thought. Having a family with Kirsi was one of the most important decisions they made together and the man wouldn’t have had it any other way. He knew there was a lot of sorrow in Kirsi’s past, but he had also seen her joy as they raised the tiny newborn puppies together. They were getting bigger, and much more curious about their world. He had little desire to introduce them to the dangerous world but both parents could sense their readiness.

Kirso nosed him awake and he rolled over quietly to do his own small preparations before the pups started to wake from their mother’s voice. She roused them and Song’s icy blue eyes rose to her face and he could see the tension build. Without even thinking he shifted closer and nuzzled her cheek supportively. The cruel reality was they couldn’t keep them in the den forever, the sooner they were made familiar with the rules of life the safer they would be. Mom and Dad couldn’t play helicopter parent forever.

”This will be fun,” He said to Kirsi softly. Song gave her a kiss on the cheek as he moved towards the entrance, happy to play his part as the front guard.
