Blacktail Deer Plateau baby's first everything

Pura didn't seem bothered when Peregrine softly mashed him to the floor. The pup's nose wiggled and tongue popped out to lap at the sandpapery paw pad on the bottom of the Alpha male's foot. This elicited a quiet bout of snickering from the swarthy dunk. His tail thumped on the floor, unknowingly brushing the three other puppies and quite likely passing on the ticklishness.

"How do you know I haven't stepped in moose shit, Pura Vir-toot?" Peregrine wondered aloud. "Then again, you'd probably like that. I envision you as being the shit-eater of the bunch," he predicted with a low laugh.

He allowed the small boy to lick and nibble for a few minutes longer, then slowly withdrew his paw. Before Pura could express any disappointment over his toy being removed, Peregrine brought his paw back into the picture. This time, he nudged it against the pudgy puppy's middle, gently flipping him over onto his back.

"Piss on me and die," he threatened playfully, leaning slightly out of the crosshairs just in case.
