Swiftcurrent Creek Compassion's in my nature

Burdock scrunched his nose and let out a shrill whine in protest against the sudden assault of wet tongue that ruffled his hairdo and left his face, ears and most of his head wet. Ugh... He attempted to back away, just in case this giant mountain of fur decided to attack him again, but his feet failed him, he lost his balance and then fell on is back. There he remained, paws squirming, incapacitated like a turtle. Upside down. 

"EEA-a-ah-he--eap," he continued to whine.
