Redhawk Caldera There will always be a valley

Eljay's tail whirred in excitement as the boys greeted him with utmost delight. Eljay was kind of scared of lil' Bandit, but the other three pups had, so far, been delightful little boys. Peter was first to get to his side, since he'd had his brother pinned, and Gannet soon followed. Eljay planted licks on both their foreheads, but soon his presence alone wasn't enough any longer — Peter asked for action, and Eljay was glad to see that the boy had grown not only physically, but clearly in his head too, for it seemed so short ago that he'd been scared of a fox' tail that Eljay'd brought.
