day one: try not to die please

Ao was the smallest and despite trying her hardest was oftentimes the first one to start falling behind, subsequently she was also the puppy that would most travel in the donkey’s cart. The little star speckled pup hated the fact. She wanted to be out, using her own four legs, walking beside pop and exploring everything before them. She just wasn’t quite there yet. Not that it mattered all too much yet as the cart was suddenly stuck. No matter who got out or pushed it wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Or so her pop’s cursing led her to believe.

She hopped out of the cart, secretly delighted by the satisfying squelch as her dainty black paws were sucked into the mud. A tiny giggle left her lips as she lifted now muddy paws and started to explore, mindful to heed the warning of getting snatched up. Immediately her attention led her to the waters so she meandered in the direction of the shore.
