Along the borderline

Jack was worried about the water taking away his net huh?  Even as the question came to mind Jack was already coming up with a plan to stop the problem.  “Wonder what’s out there,” Nico observed with quiet thought looking at the water as it continued in the distance.  

When Jack mentioned the ‘something to tie it to' Nico’s mind jumped straight to tying it to one of their paws but before he could even say it Jack was suggesting the rock.  Hmm, was that better than to a coyote, er, wolf?  Reluctantly Nico admitted to himself they probably were but the rock couldn’t tell them what it felt like.  Was the net pulling hard against it or not?

Nico watched his friend dig about for a moment but then turned his attention back to the net and water itself, brow furrowed as the young pup tried to think real deep on how this process would work.  “So like,”a pause huffing as it all seemed complex and the young coyote jogged back farther into the water, the wave rolling in now touching his belly.  Thrusting his head in the water only to jerk it back out, “hey hey that stings.  Other water doesn’t sting my eyes like this one does!”  Saltwater was a new concept to the pup.

“Like, if the rock is on it don’t you think it’ll just end up flat on the water floor?  Or do you think the part away from the rock will do... whatever it's meant to do?” Nico was imaginative generally but there were too many new things all at once for the pups mind to handle.
