And You Are?

Rudy can only be amused as they walk around the berry bushes as he watches Fern find one bit of nature and then another worthy of being pointed out.  Where Rudy searched for threats she was searching for beauty.  It made Rudy think back to when he’d first come out here as a pup.  He had wanted to run around and see everything as the pack went to see their new home.  Every scent was an adventure, every bush a place that could hide some amazing secret.

Now, it was where were the predators hiding.  The predators or any other type of threat.  He was watching the land now through Fern’s eyes, being reminded of what beauty was.   She asked if he’d ever seen something as amazing as the bush of berries and Rudy moved to stand next to her, looking carefully at the berry bush.  He tilted his head so that it happened to be his forehead was pressed into her coat but, it was to help get a better look at the berry bush! “Hmm,” Rudy seemed to ponder the bush for a moment then pulled his head up to look at Fern, “I found something more amazing,” Rudy says grinning at Fern.  “Lots of beautiful bushes here, but, you’re by far the most amazing sight here.”

Rudy wasn’t going to get time to flirt more as Reddy had gone hunting.  Dang, it!  Good thing Reddy was such a loyal and helpful bird cause this was really bad timing for it to go distracting Fern.  Rudy wasn’t worried, he imagined Reddy had just caught himself a meal but Fern went to go defend so Rudy loped along after her.  He’d tell her later about what a great hunter Reddy was!  Of course, he’d feel like an ass if he was wrong and Reddy did need him.
