Gilded Bay Parental guidance

Ponderosa followed in suite with her kin, but instead of follow in line, she stuck close to daddy’s legs. She was playing it cautious, the sound of the waves were louder than they were from the den, and her little ears were pinned to her head. Her yellowing eyes looked all around, took it all in, but from a distance. 

When Mom and Dad stopped, she looked back at them, and they both gave her a reassuring look. She look to Pine, the first born, “Pine play wit me?” 

“Yea.” Pine responded with a wag of her tail. Then the two of them found their way to the edge of a big (from a puppy’s point of view) hole filled with water. 

Ponderosa gentle dipped to paw in the water, and drawing it back with a little shake, reached to look at it closer. Inside the hole were all sorts of things, and she was fascinated. Her tail even started to wag.
