Make It Better Mommy

Seere lays in the sand, eyes firmly shut as she curls into herself, tears soaking the fur on her cheeks. Her mother’s voice reaches the hurting pup’s ears and she blinks open her watery mismatched eyes. Sniffling loudly, the monochrome girl reaches her good front leg toward her mommy and gives a soft whimper as Rava calls out her name. Mommy sounds so worried and the pup suddenly feels horrible for causing her mom stress. As the woman pulls her in, the pup mumbles out, “I’m sorry.” in an attempt to soothe her mommy’s concern.

As Rava asks what happened, her father appears next to them, making the girl wiggle in her mom’s arms as he offers soothing words. Fresh tears spill from her mismatched eyes as Plague gently wipes them away and Seere gives a loving coo to her dad. He echoes Rava’s question as Saia approaches to round out the party. As her sister’s red and black coat moves to settle in near the monochrome pup, Saia offers the hurt pup a small smile and kind words. Seere returns her sister smile in kind before sadness quickly pulls her lips back down.

Seere finally explains what happened, the words suddenly tumbling out at a fast clip as she says, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you. I… I was running and, and that rock bit me!” Using her good paw, the pup stabs it toward where the rock juts out of the soft sand, and gives the offending object an accusing glare. Plague gentle holds her injured paw in his own and Seere turns her mismatched gaze up to him, wide, watery eyes begging him to make the throbbing stop. Curling in toward Rava, the monochrome pup looks at her sister and whispers, “Thank you.” The tears have slowed and Seere sniffles while offering Saia a tiny smile. As much as she hates being hurt, the pup is grateful to have such a loving family.
