He wasn't old yet, but as surely as the morning's sun came back up he knew one day that time of his life would be here. Not that he wanted to think about growing old and leaving this place he called home. He was still too young to start thinking about dying. There was a lot more life to get through before he started thinking about that kind of thing. His wife would nuzzle him, helping to dissipate the startle she'd given to him. "Old woman?" She'd question him with some obvious offense. "see, your hearing is going out." He'd offer her an incredibly amused grin as he said his words. "I can make some room for you!" He'd say, raising his voice a little so his joke would last that much longer. He was also pretty sure he was about to get some retaliation from the wonderful she wolf who was his better half.
