Love Never Ends, It Only Changes

As her father answers about the slave rank, Andy offers a warm smile but decides to drop the subject… for now. Talking about Leo and how they are doing, her father gives her advice and the lavender pup nods in understanding, knowing that Leo is already teaching her things just by being in her life. She turns away to whistle and her attention falls to the young snow leopard that appears, his pudgy body making her giggle as he bounds up to them.

Talking about how he is eating and sleeping a lot, her father talks about how the little leopard might be going through a growth spurt and Andy nods in understand. She remembers those days when she would eat everything in sight before sleeping for, what felt like, days on end. Thankfully, she seems to be getting past those and she does not miss the deep ache that would settle into her bones right before a spurt.

Looking to young Leo, she asks, “When will he stop growing and be at his full height? There is so much I don’t know about snow leopards but I think he is cool!” When she had gotten the young cub, Andy had dedicated herself to learning about Leo and now, she wants to find out more about his species. Maybe there is a snack she can give him to help him ride out the growth spurts!
