Northstar Vale by his wife and his three boys

her tippy-taps didn't ( at least not immediately ) garner jr the attention of any of the nearest, ever watchful adults ... but it did grab sable's attention.

and though it did not mean she could go out, at least she wasn't likely to be bored.

she 'yips' — a noiseless, harsh push of breath — at him and tries to nip at the paw that pawed at her.

if she couldn't go out ... then maybe she could wrestle!
