The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 18)

Kipling had planned to behave and go to the bonfire festival with the family but when he found the rabbit warren he just felt a need to go try and dig his way into it.  It wasn’t very easy, with his front end down and stretched out to dig, his balance on his one back leg took more work.  That made him want to dig his way straight to the rabbits or at least further in all the more necessary.  All it took was a few scrapes to make him forget about what he’d been doing just a minute ago.

Then dad had shown up, made him stop, and given him ‘the eye’ that suggested he was in trouble.  Kipling had pinned his ears back sullenly but followed along with dad’s assurance he was going to have fun.  Would it be as fun as getting a rabbit from its warren though?

It was an impressive sight!  So many wolves gathered amongst the plains.  He didn’t even recognize a few of the wolves.  There were his siblings and mom and beyond them the sound of various voices and steps of many feet.  Kipling charged ahead, head swinging about with wide-eyed curiosity about what to do first.  

There!  Grammy Tammy had shown up!  With a small yip of excitement, the three-legged pup was remarkably fast, especially if he was running in a straight line.  “Grammmmmmyyyyyy!”  She was fun!  She had taken them to the beach and was so nice!  He charged straight to her, hopping up on his back leg, front paws stretching up to her chest, “you came!  Are you staying long?  Want to go hunting rabbits with me later?”
