hello friend, nice to meet you

As dawn broke over the mountains, Dee slipped to the east from the Col to the Mile-High Woods. The area was becoming familiar to her as she spent most of her days patrolling and watching prey. It wasn't often that her hunts were successful, but she would practice and try anyway. Today would not be a day for hunting though. Instead, the mute wound her way through the thick trunks toward the location where Halo and Mort had set up their home to raise their pups. Prior to their birth, she had helped Halo transplant the garden beds up to this area so that she would have something to do with the pups over the winter.

Winterizing gardens was difficult from what Halo had described so Dee figured she would go up there to help for a day or two. Wanting to get an early start, she arrived at the edge of the rope they had set up for the pups just after the sun peeked over the nearby ridge. It was still rather quiet from what she could hear. Not wanting to disturb sleepy pups, Dee slipped under the rope and made her way to the garden beds. Gathering the tools she needed, she began working.
