"I will not play with sharp objects"

The day is beautiful and Caladia is enjoying it to the fullest. She pounces on her three-legged brother, growling at him as the pair show of their fighting ‘skills’. Her mother’s laughter rings out and the pup grins around her vicious sounds. Her uncle’s howl is missed as the pups continue to wrestle and she nips at her brother. However, she does not miss her mom’s voice and she groans in protest. Fern is quick to shush her and herd them toward the castle but stops them before they can enter.

Huffing in indignation at all the starts and stops, Callie grins happily at the order to shake out their coats. She can do that! In fact, the young pup shakes her coat out so well, she actually ends up on her side. Oops. Springing back up her paws, she fusses as mom holds her in place and tacks down some fur with her spit. So gross! Again, they are moving and when the option to sit wherever they want is given, Caladia happily bursts onto the scene.

Eyes scan the area, finding adults and pups that have already gathered. She almost joins the other puppies when she spies Mel. Bounding over to the pair of ladies and the badger, Callie gets right up into the creature’s face and looks at him with wide-eyed awe. Curiously, she asks, “What’re you?” Now, to be fair, the pup has seen him around the castle but she hasn’t had the chance to talk to him! Or his companions for that matter. However, the creature is far more interesting than more wolves… at least for the moment.
