Morningside Cuesta I've never veered starboard 'cause I've never sailed at all

Finding that the children were becoming antsy, Khoe stood up onto all fours and shook out her fur to reposition herself in hopes of providing enough stimulation to keep them hushed, if not silent for only a moment. She took the liberty of stretching out her limbs and grooming herself only where particularly needed, as she knew that Grayday was more than enough to keep the them warm. It's been a long few days, she sighed over the popping of her joints, though nothing but happiness laced her words. 

There was a spot near the entrance of the den where she forced herself down against her rather strong need to take a fresh breath of air. It was better for all of them, she figured; being this close to the outside, she could protect them and still get a nice breeze every now and then. Looking to Grayday first, so as to be sure that she wasn't interrupting, Khoe snatched up each pup one by one and placed them each at a teat of their own.
