Nova Peak pringoals

For anyone! Wild fauna or 'visitors', too - Bazi is close to the borders, near the edge of the forest. Map for reference: http://karmencita.github.io/NovaPeak/#ma.../58/-82/64

Bazi had never been this fat. She knew it was natural, but her petite frame was swamped by a Zeppelin-sized gut. It swung uncomfortably, tugging on her joints and getting in the way of normal grooming. She dreaded to think what it would be like in another two weeks' time.

Today, Bazi walked the edge of the eastern forest border with slow, waddling steps. It was already impossible to groom effectively, and she felt more dirty and obscene than usual in the muggy mid-morning. Clouds had rolled in overnight, and a hint of fog still remained, though it did little to disguise the white Alpha. Determined to find a private spring to wash in, away from the rest of the pack, she continued her trundling with a sour expression and a gently swinging gut.
