Swiftcurrent Creek Swift and sweet

Arlette had been feeling much like her mate, four of these active pups meant they were always on high alert. Though the mother did noticed that she had a much more relaxed disposition compared to her other years. She was vigilant but not as overprotective as she might was before. Her milk was starting to dry up which was mostly her doing as she was weaning them. She knew they didn't mean to but her nipples were not chew toys and it hurt when they would bite her with their sharp teeth. Whereas before she was far more lenient in letting them nurse now she was rather disciplinary towards them. Access was definitely revoked if they were to harsh on her.

She was outside the den with Arric, having just arrived. She often found things for the pups to chew, sniff, or explore. The mother carried a big antler to chew on, which would probably help with their teeth, along with it she had brought wild Irisis as well. She knew the pups being pups they would try to explore things with their mouth and that was exactly what she wanted them to do. She placed it all down and woofed for their attention. She shot Arric a look, perhaps having saved him from a vicious attack. She stepped towards him and greeted him with a nuzzle. "All is well?," she asked, looking to see if all four were coming to her call.
