Learning everything bit by bit

Thorn’s bite missed to no one’s surprise since she had already said that was the plan.  His eyes watched as mom’s boy got out of the way and how she was coming back towards him.  Block or dodge?  Could he really block mom?  She was bigger and heavier than she was.  Thorn was fast, at lest for a pup, and with the idea, he almost went with the obvious answer of dodging.  This was practice though!  

Thorn suddenly remembered pinning your ears back was a thing so he flattened them and hopped up on his hind paws trying to snap his teeth at mom’s muzzle as it came down.  It was surely safer to just get out of the way but this was the best time to try something riskier.  Thorn bet this would work even better with a sword in his mouth.
