Sun Mote Copse You should see me in a crown

The pups were nearly two weeks old and Wildfire was careworn but happy. Watching @Weejay and @Elfie grow and witnessing @Eljay's first foray into fatherhood made her battered, scarred heart full. She left the den about once a day to stretch her legs but was perfectly content to simply curl into a ball inside the old fallen tree and stare at her newest batch of babies all day.

She was doing just that this morning. Although it was spring now, there had been a frost overnight and a chill was creeping into the den despite the April sunshine. Wildfire took advantage of a moment's peace and quiet—both infants were fast asleep near her hind legs—and brushed her black tail over them to keep them warm. She then redirected her gaze out of doors, smiling faintly at the glimpse of copse she could see from here.
