springtime

The other hound zipped by and Morwenna couldn't help herself but reach out for another nip, her teeth missing entirely and her legs shooting out from under her to chase Ellie down over the greening grass. She hadn't run like this since her race with Scald! Which wasn't too long ago now. She barked with excitement as she overtook the smaller woman, running alongside her and then swerving away with a yip to chase her again! Morwenna went flat out, her legs stretching and coiling beneath her, her mouth agape and her tongue lolling. Her chest nearly skimmed the ground as she leveled her pointed head with her shoulders and her tail streamed behind her like a long rudder tied with a banner!

Her wildflower eyes spotted bits of pants and she pulled her body up the side of the gully and back down it again. Then she reached the other side of the small valley, up the sides, and then sailed back down again in the middle until she was panting hard.

She fell into the very middle of the depression with a heavy flop and ran her legs through the plants. Her side's heaving.
