Swiftcurrent Creek Palindrome

With having pups, one would become a light sleeper. Arlette lifted her head as some of her senses seemed to register something. She wasn't sure what made it set off but when she looked up she noticed a silhouette sitting at the entrance of the den. The mother slowly straightened into more of an upright lie down, watching the child but not intervening. She almost wanted to call him back but also didn't want to create a wrong impression of what was outside of the den.

She realized that it was perhaps time to show them that outside world today. The mother yawned. Once they went outside the pups would be confronted with more danger, but she knew she would be unable to protect them from everything. They were growing too quickly. Yet, it was also exciting. She should show them plants and the wildlife. She smiled softly, it was better to think positively she decided.
