Dawnlark Plains winter waning

Easy backed out of her digging a second time to greet Pema, her tail wagging as she regarded her mothers with an air of satisfaction. They didn't often hang out together, but it always made Easy's heart do a funny little flip to see them standing side-by-side. She had to stop and squint, however, when Pema brought up needing a den of her own.

"Are you going to have puppies, too?" she asked, wondering if she'd be getting a double helping of younger brothers and sisters. The thought caused her tail to start wagging once more, and she looked excitedly between the two for confirmation, ignoring Catori's words about making this den bigger completely.
