Sawtooth Spire remember the moment

Please forgive the icky post! I've... never played a puppy before, so this kind of "fighting" is super new to me. xD

The growl was only encouraging by way of spurning the boy into further action only to be shoved over, toppling to the ground. It was not the first time he had been knocked to the ground, his mother's way of correction tough but efficient, nor was it the last. Ata hopped to his feet again, splaying his four paws out to instinctively widen his center of gravity; later he would learn that this particular move would help him to not be knocked over as easily.

Aariak bowed, tempting the eldest of the Spire into rushing him again. The boy's moves were ungainly and sloppy at best, but he attempted it at the very least. Head ducked, the pup charged the caretaker's leg in efforts to return the favor and knock him over.
