mother knows best

Turning to face her biggest boy, Hanako was quick to smother him with kisses. Look at how tall he'd grown! At this rate he'd easily overshadow his Father. Pulling him close with a front paw, she pressed kisses from the length of his snout to the top of his head. For all the moments she'd missed, she was eager to make up for lost time, in her own way.

"Not yet, love." She gently tapped the end of his black nose with a fiery paw. "I was thinking of setting some pot traps out in the coral, catch us some octpuses? Octopi?" Hmm. Whatever, they were delicious so she didn't care what they were called. "First we need to make the traps. Can you go fetch me some pots from storage? Then once we're done we can swim out and put them in place."

Did that sound like something fun to a pups ears? Hanako had no idea.
