Blacktail Deer Plateau rebel yell

I'm going to fade this here. You may assume Grimlock met Hawkeye and the pups. :)

At least Grimlock already seemed both enthusiastic and dedicated, two characteristics Peregrine could appreciate in any new recruit. He cracked a smile at the youth's declarations, even the one about a hot date night, even if Peregrine didn't see one of those happening any time soon. And, luckily, the boy's loud chatter prevented the Alpha male from sinking into that dark, dreary mental place.

"Welcome to the puppy playhouse," he announced when they reached the edge of the clearing. Peregrine paused, eyeing the seemingly empty clearing, then made a sound that could only be likened to a turkey's gobble. Almost instantaneously, a volley of barks and squeals erupted from the den. It was only a matter of seconds before a stampede of pups emerged and, in that tiny window of time, Peregrine grinned sideways at his newest ward.
