Silver Creek Starving and Famished

When the stick was pulled out, Laurel's earlier dramatic troubles were easily forgotten. Distracted as young children often were easily so, Laurel looked at the stick, her tail stirring with anticipation of the hunt, and she lowered herself to the ground as she got ready to pounce. She'd already forgotten that she was hungry, for now, and looked with serious, shiny eyes upon her opponent.

Laurel jumped at the stick and grabbed it between her teeth, then rolling onto her back. The stick was between her front paws and she bit at it while her back paws were kicking against the stick reflexively, and she held it close to her with her front paws.
