Pumpkin, Spice, and Everything Nice

Briar's new favorite hobby was wandering the castle and its grounds to see what shenanigans her little pups were getting into. They were all so inquisitive and curious as they began to explore their world and nothing brought her more joy than pretty much anything else right now. She moved through the castle gardens and as she neared the familiar green house she happened to spot the light tan and cream of her daughter inspecting their current crop of pumpkins. A grin lit up her face as she turned her path toward the little girl, her thickly braided tail swaying gently behind her. Tanyssa's little paw on one of the pumpkins was quite possibly one of the cutest things she had ever seen. "Having fun looking at the pumpkins?" she asked with a little chuckle as she walked up beside her, tipping her head down to give the top of Talyssa's head a loving nuzzle. She was still figuring out what sort of things caught the interest of which of her children, but she had a feeling Talyssa might enjoy her idea. "I was thinking about carving a couple of these to make decorations with... Would you like to help me?"
