Ready For Lives

Spring was leaving soon and summer was fast approaching. The changes were evidenced in Silent's eyes as she walked across the familiar setting of the Gulley. Draped in green foliage and sapped with the heavy atmosphere, the forest was becoming a hot and sticky place to walk through. There were no longer gentle breezes that brought warmth as they danced by. Instead, there was warmth everywhere, and each breeze that came was swift and cool to the touch. Silent reached out for every bite of wind that came her way. One disadvantage of having a pretty black coat was being a magnet for any type of heat. What a bummer at times. She continued to walk through the Gulley, paws taking her on the familiar path she had grown used to earlier that spring. Flashbacks of the hot and heavy night she shared with Bronze behind one of the colorful bushes made her pant as she recalled how she felt afterward. Now, as she walked past their hideaway bush, she looked at it briefly before turning her gaze to the protruding stomach that stretched beneath her. A warm smile crossed her features at the sight. To be a mother again, carrying her first love's pups...it would continue to be a miracle in her mind. She was probably not the only one who thought that, either, but as long as their pups were healthy and alive, she would be content. The ever growing heat began to take its toll on the older she-wolf. With a heavy stride, Silent sniffed out a water source. Luckily, there was one within a few feet from where she stood. A shortcut through the flower bushes to her right would lead her right to it. Trying her best to avoid the roots and bugs that scuttled in her wake, she struggled a bit to get through the narrow trail. The fight with the uprooted, invisible trail was short-lived as she broke through the final set of bushes. Slowly, she walked out to the edge of the small pond. Its light gleamed from the sunbeams that struck it through the breaks of the canopy above her, making it a welcoming sight. Silent sighed happily and lowered her head to break the surface with a lapping tongue. Eyes and ears alert for any sudden movements near her, she continued to drink her fill, enjoying the cool water running down her throat. "talking"THANK YOU, WOLFIE! ♥ |
