My Mother Told Me…

Oddly it seemed that whenever Cressida was in a deep slumber. Resting away the activities of the night before is when someone chose to disturb her personal space. However, this time it so happened to be the one whom given her life. A yawn broke out and parted once sealed lips. A stretch to loosen up tight muscles soon followed by the soft pad of her paws. Carrying her to the open mouth of their den. To where her mother awaited patiently.

The excitement she’d heard shortly before is what beckoned the small pup awake. Attention focusing solely on the woman, Cress gave a small smile and wag of her tail. ”Yes, mom?” She spoke softly, gently. Her voice still holding a hint of sleepiness to the tone. Though the warmth of the morning sun would soon provide her with much needed energy as time passed.
