Father-Son Time

Solaire climbed up the wall of the green house till he was standing on just his back paws with his front paws holding onto the stone layer of the wall that gave way to a solid pane of glass, peeking in at the flourishing plants that were hidden inside. His turquoise eyes were wide with wonder as he looked at them all through the slightly foggy and water-dotted glass. The gardens outside of the greenhouse were pretty full of plants and flowers too, but there were so many in there that he hadn't seen yet! He was already trying to work out how he could get in there, glancing over to the door with a handle that was far too high for him to reach, when his father's presence behind him caught him by surprise and made him hop back with a little squeak. He spun around to face his father, turning his wide-eyed gaze up toward his familiar face with a slightly guilty grin. "Maaaaaybe," he admitted, giggling softly when his dad leaned down to nuzzle his head. "There's so many plants in there, dad!" Turning back to where he had been peeking in moments before, he climbed back up and looked back through the glass with his tail wagging behind him. "How'd they all get in there? Why is there so many different kinds? The rain can't get in there, can it? Plants need rain, don't they? That's what mom said!"
