Arrow Lake laughter for years untold

Dragomir headed for Kazimir, positively bouncing on his feet as he went. He couldn't believe he was being allowed to help! It was admittedly a little boring at first; Kazimir's mood so far wasn't great, courtesy of her injured leg, so Dragomir stood next to her feeling a little awkward and out of place. Normally he was chatty and would have asked a million questions, but it felt a little wrong to do so when she seemed kind of down in the dumps, so he kept his lips clamped shut. It took an immense effort.

Luckily, Ingram's excavation was quick and effective. Dragomir could hear the rabbits, too, although he didn't know what to expect from the scratching of their paws as they barreled through the warren for the other exits. Had he ever seen a rabbit before? Perhaps, but he couldn't recall. He assumed rabbits were like mice and readied himself to catch one on its way out.

Unfortunately, wild rabbits were very unlike mice both in size and temperament. The first one to vacate the warren wasn't all that much smaller than Dragomir himself, certainly much larger than any mouse he had ever seen. Woah! screeched Dragomir as he was bowled over by the fleeing rabbit, who left a pair of shallow scratches from long hind legs on the pup's side that he barely even felt in his excitement. He was quick to find his feet again and tear after it, but he didn't go far before stopping. That thing was way too big for him to catch on his own, and way too fast!

Lucky for him that there were adult wolves present to do the catching for him.
