Why are there so many of them!?

Maki left out a soft ooof as her sister kicked her in the face, paw settling right between her eyes, just below her nubbins. Whining softly, she clambered to her paws and followed her sister out, curious to see what all the fuss was about. She recognised Dad of course, but the bigger lady wasn't as familiar, nor were the 3 pups she'd bought along with her. Maki felt no sense of alarm or caution around them, rather she was curious and maybe...a little shy. With her tail wagging behind her, she watched as her siblings-full blooded and half-wrestled, fighting in earnest with little teeth nipping. She knew Usagi enough to know she was just like this, pushy in and out of the den, but what of the splogy grey and red wolf?

And even more important than that the world around them was vast and green, with slanted surfaces that were practically begging her to scale to the top and see what was out there. What laid beyond the green valley she knew. She bounded around on clumsy puppy paws, only to realise she'd gotten her feet wet, stepped in the cool and flowing stream that passed through the middle of the passage. With a delighted squeal she jumped on the spot, splashing as her tail wagged into a grey blur.

It was so much more interesting out here than she thought it would be!
