The Trees Bleed

Duchess jumped back as the pup thrashed around from touching the sappy resin from the bleeding tree. She had almost stopped him before he got too close, but didn't see any harm in him inspecting it closer. She didn't think he would actually touch it.

He hollered really a bunch of nonsense but Duchess at first was worried that he was actually being harmed. That turned as the pup was able to get the thick texture out of his nose. Duchess relaxed and smiled back at him when he was mostly better. Putting her paw on his shoulder, she instructed, "Come on, lets go wash you off."
