Pouncing Lesson

Kore is practicing sneaking up on things today and he is doing really well. Or… so he thinks.

With his small, galaxy-hued body flat against the ground, the pup slowly crawls toward an unsuspecting bird. The bright yellow puff of feathers is sitting a huge rock, singing happily away. That’s right little bird, keep singing. Since the rock is elevated, the galaxy-hued boy decides to get as close as he can before leaping up toward his unsuspecting prey. He is the picture of sneaky, no one can see him!

Small puppy legs propel him forward on his stomach, dirt and brambles clinging to coat as he passes. Auntie Motif might give him an ear full later but that doesn’t matter right now… he is almost there. Finally, when he decides he is close enough, Kore raises up into a crouched position, ready to attack.

The yellow bird stops singing for a moment, head tilting as it eyes the grass near Kore. The pup thinks to the bird, ‘No, no. You don’t see me. You only see grass.’ It seems to work as the bird goes back to singing. Kore’s front-end crouches low, extending his butt up into the air. The bird quiets down as Kore readies to leap.
