Dog Days Are Over

The curiosity and excitement that Charlie has about the cave brings a warm smile to Andy’s lips. She had hoped that her brother would like it and it seems he does! With confidence in her stride, the purple girl leads her brother inside, allowing her eyes to roam the walls for the familiar drawings. Charlie calls her name and she looks back to where he is, which isn’t too far since she doesn’t want to worry him. His words pull her lips upward and she dips her head in agreement, looking at the paintings she had found that shows two legged beings alongside wolves.

Eyebrows lift at his next series of question and Andy leans in toward the dark red stain that marks a wolf’s body. After a moment she says, “Doesn’t look like berry juice. Notice the way the stuff stays in place when you press your paw against it?” She demonstrates by lifting a paw and gently passing it over the stained area. Nothing lifts at her paws passing and she turns to show Charlie her pad. No ink stains the black there. Lowering it, she says, “There are lots of different animals here. Some I know but lots I don’t. Think whoever made this was trying to say something?” Eyes turn to her brother as she poses her question to him.
