Morningside Cuesta well we can't call it pup; it needs a name

Day gently drew the next pup into the cradle of his forelegs, and smiled softly as the light splashed over his daughter's pretty face. It was the red speckled pup with the pale nose - Day had gawked when he'd first laid eyes on her, as she looked like no pup he'd ever seen. But now, she looked striking and exotic, and he flicked his eyes up to meet his mate's in startled approval.

"She's so different," he murmured, soothing her with a nuzzle as she began to fuss. "I've never seen spots like this before. And look at her nose - it's almost lavender, it's so pale. Think it'll darken up?"

A moment ago, he would've said that he hoped so - but when his eyes fell on the girl again, he couldn't picture her any more perfect.
