Silver Creek hers is the strength

Rowan seemed sympathetic in her response and Spring didn't mind.  She was glad that the new recruit could have feelings for two pups that she'd never met.  When Rowan said that she feared the burden that she would put on them all in the next few weeks Spring shook her head.  It would be no burden for once the pups came they would be gifts from heaven.

She smiled at the pale girl before speaking.  "Your pups will be gifts Rowan, you place no burden upon us, do not worry."  Spring hoped that her words would be taken seriously, for they were truth.  After all pups always seemed to be able to lighten the mood with their cute little puppyness.  Everyone at Silver Creek needed the mood to be lightened right now.
