Why are there so many of them!?

The day has finally arrived when all the pups get to meet. Unagi is eager to be outside and she shifts in the pile of puppies, elbowing Maki in the face and kicking Tama in the side. Mostly it was unintentional but there is a small part of her that wants them to move so she can escape. She is finally able to extract herself from the puppy pile, bumping her mother’s stomach in her bid to gain freedom. With a yawn, she stretches, front end dipping down into a play bow as her front legs move further and further away from her body.

A voice calls out from the entrance of their den and the girl’s mismatched eyes narrow. Sure, she knows that voice is someone she can trust and the fact that she mentions puppies says it all but still, Unagi considers them ‘intruders’. Standing, the chimeric-hued puppy stalks toward the entrance, tail lashing behind her. Without warning, she darts from the den, aiming to run up and tackle one of the other pups. Body streaks toward a grey and red boy and a joyful glint is her eyes as she goes airborne in her tackle attempt. All she can think is how much fun she is having.
