Stone Circle Tea time

Steph's head jerked up and her ears perked when her mother's howl reached her. She had been playing in a spot of mud she was lucky enough to find, and she was covered in it. Her tail wagged, sending little droplets of mud everywhere. Thankfully, no one was nearby for them to land on. While Steph was having fun on her own, she would not ignore the call of her beloved mama. 

With a bark, she bounded off in the direction the call came. A smile lit up her face as Valette and a stranger came into view. Steph was getting quite used to be introduced to new wolves, and being told to make them feel welcomed. The muddy pup greeted her mother with a smile and wet, dirty kisses before turning her attention to the stranger. Without being told, she pipped up, Hello, there. I'm  Steph. She smiled, a chunk of mud falling off of her maw as she did so.
