Blacktail Deer Plateau thunder buddies for life

"I'no," Osprey replied to Pura's worried question, her way of saying, I don't know, man. Her eyes flicked between his frightened face and Saēna's much more intrigued expression when the littlest pup's pale face surfaced out of the breezy gloom. "Ooooo?" she repeated questioningly, blue eyes narrowing slightly. Could she trust the smallest, weakest pup to know about these things?

Then a deep voice rose up in the back of the den. "When you hear the sound of thunder, don't get scared," Peregrine rumbled lowly. "Just grab your thunder buddy and say these magic words: 'Fuck you, thunder! You can suck my dick! You can't get me, thunder, because you're just gods' farts!'" This song was followed by a very quiet thump and a laughing, "Hey!" as his mate presumably boxed him about the ears.

The Alpha male fell silent, leaving the puppies to ascertain the storm on their own again. Comforted by her father's silly song, Osprey now nudged Pura's cheek, then tugged at one of Saēna's rust-colored ears. "T'undaw," she told them sagely, as it was one of the words repeated several times in Peregrine's little ditty. "T'undaaaw fawt's fuck dick!"
