Stavanger Bay battle of brothers

Julooke had been exhausted after birthing her pups. She didn't know it would quite this tiring, especially when she could only catch a few minutes of sleep, at the most. She was constantly worrying the pups would squirm away and not be able to find their way back. Logically, she knew the chances of them squirming their way out of the den were slim, but the fear was enough to keep her at least slightly awake most of the time.

Her ear twitched as she caught the sound of a mew, but it didn't seem alarming, so her head remained resting on the den floor. The light smell of urine, however, caught her nose, and her head lifted. She immediately went to work cleaning and bathing Levi as he tried to make his way back to her belly. With a back paw, she shifted some dirt around, covering up the liquid and the smell. She then checked the other pups to make sure each of them was comfortable, and tended to any that might have had Levi's problem, too.
