you'll never know dear, how much i love you

Halo couldn’t believe it. Things since the pups had been born were an absolute blur. Though she couldn’t remember ever being this tired in her entire life, she also couldn’t remember ever being this happy. Bursting with pride at every milestone, Halo couldn’t help it. She couldn’t help any of it, it was all so wonderful. The pups were healthy, they were happy, they were growing like weeds. She was going to enjoy every minute of being with them, being with her family. How absolutely wonderful.

The days were getting shorter and chillier, and it struck her that today may be one of the few warm days they had left. “What do you think about getting them outside today?” She whispered to Mortis, not wanting to get the gaggle of pups excited unnecessarily. A warm autumn afternoon… that sounded like as good a time as any, right?

“Hazel finished putting up the boundary around the trees yesterday, and it’s nice and warm.” She pitches the idea quietly to Mort, watching the pups where they settled within the den.
