Phoenix Maplewood Food is key

Hope you don't mind me popping in! Laika has never really meet Desna yet, and this should be a fun thread!

Laika ventured closer and closer to Saena's den. Although she was not within earshot of the pups - let alone close enough to be punished for it - she was glad she could be somewhat near them. She couldn't wait for the day when their alpha finally allowed them to meet the tiny bundles of joy. 

The white two year old paused in her stroll as she heard some rustling. It was probably either a prey animal, or another Phoenix Maplewood wolf. Either way, Laika decided to check it out. She was curious that way. Maybe she would make another ally. Better yet, a friend. She only had a few friends within the pack. Her closest were Spring and Esaro, but she also was beginning to see Grace as one as well. Her paws tingled with excitement at the possibility and she picked up her pace.

Head lowered as she proceeded to follow the scent trail. She was now following the wolf's tracks, directly behind whoever it was. She was bringing herself closer and closer to the wolf until her thick winter coat snagged on a branch. She let out a chuff of annoyance. Laika always seemed to shed her fur slowly, and this year, it was especially slow. She tugged on it until she was finally able to free herself at the cost of a clump of white fur. Now she was frustrated because she was further behind than she wanted to be.  She picked up her pace, hoping to gain back what she just lost.
