The Heartwood How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Odie found herself exploring farther out today than she normally did.  She had woke set out early today with an urge for some exploration.  So now Odette was here in the late afternoon hours, with a bunch of berry bushes surrounding her.

She yelped as her paw struck a thorn.

Swiftly she yank up her paw and began to pull on the thorn with her teeth.  It took a painful five minutes, but finally it came out.  She then gave her paw a few good licks to help clean it and after that proceeded through the thorny area.

As she continued through the place she found herself wondering if her parents had ever walked through this area.    It wasn't for much of any reason really, she was just merely curious.  She smiled as she imagined her Mother and Father walking through this area, although of course the image of her Father was very blurred as she didn't remember what he looked like.  She imagined them leaning close to each other, tails romantically entwined.

Of course she knew that this was just her imagination, but it was still a lovely thought to think of.
