Whitebark Stream Rushing Waters

Laika felt the water embrace her, soaking into her pelt and cooling her bones. Her paws began to work as she made her way back to the surface. She had planned it perfectly! They both landed in the pond-like bend in the stream where the currents weren't large. 

Once her white head broke the surface, her blue eyes searched around for Spring. She saw her friend's terrified face and couldn't help but laugh. Spring dashed out of the water, shaking her pelt which was already sticking out in odd angles. 

"Yeah right," she replied teasingly. "You say that every time and it never happens! Instead, I just get you again!" 

Laika stayed in the water for a few more moments, swimming around and letting her paws move around the liquid, propelling her forward. Finally, she got out and shook her pelt, water droplets flying this way and that.
