Stone Circle Pizza Party Madness

Backpedaling somewhat, Day sought to ease the conscience of his friend. "I did go see a healer about it the other day - she gave me a few tips to keep it at bay. I'd still rather be safe than sorry - but it's not a big deal."

"You all are still my family, after all - one of you is bound to have pups one day. Good luck keeping me from spoiling them then," he said teasingly, ducking his head and flicking some morning dew at the other male with the tip of his nose. "Betchya they'll like Uncle Day more than Uncle Cha-cha." Not really, of course - he was sure it would be an even race, but they could laugh about it now. They all needed some laughter.
