It was late in the day after their unexpected nap. Later than he'd intended it to be, but time seemed to have gotten away from him. He led a bleary eyed Demelza to the stream. Heated by the warm summer sun, and pleasant to the touch. He dumped the bag on the shore and pulled out a bar of soap “catch” he ordered her, tossing it her direction before stepping into the water.


It was nice. He stepped in up to his knees and waited for Demelza to join him. When she was close enough, he reached out with a damp paw and gripped her by the muzzle. Nudging her head this way and that as he examined the damage across her face. “You really need to take better care, pretty as you are.” He grumbled softly.
