He surfaced from the water and padded towards her. He tossed his head, flinging the water from his fur as he tromped through the waves and sought to bury his nose in her shoulder. She caught him, lifting her limbs in a makeshift bear hug of sorts and his nose found her chest instead. He wiggled within her grasp, rising on to his hind paws to return the wrapping of the paws and wrestle out from underneath her as she assaulted his ears with his teeth.

At his suggestion, their playing paused. She glanced towards the skylight, but did not pursue it. Maybe another time. He'd not considered her post-partum physique or any of its effects. Male, and oblivious to the continual effects their children had on her body, it wasn't a thought that cross through his head. Nevertheless, he was caught right back in another round of play as she swept her muzzle across the water and showered him with another wave.

He took a deep breath and ducked, tucking beneath the wall of water as he swam within the shallows. No doubt, his reddish fur, turned brown from the water left him visible as he neared her, nibbled at her toes, then tucked away beneath the water to resurface elsewhere. He regained his breath before sucking in a bit of water and squirting it out like a fountain in her direction.
