Swiftcurrent Creek Pin Pricks

As the children grew, Suzu found herself reach and pass milestones as well. The ability to sit without wincing was one of them, and a welcome relief. The ability to cough without peeing a little...Well, she still looked forward to the day when/if that was ever a thing again. The pups grew milk teeth- so her nipples became raw and chapped. The pups became more mobile- so she became incapable of being sedentary. 

Still- her children, all four of them, filled her with a love so profound, that she committed herself fully to them and vowed to herself that she would suffer any cost so that they could grow up healthy and loved. 

Little Leonore was at times hard to keep an eye on- just when things finally seemed primed for a bit of relaxation, she realized that Leonore was being quiet and therefore, she needed to lay an eye on her. She caught sight of the young girl, meandering about, but worried she might stray farther if she'd not been alert. "Barra-barra-barracuda," She sung out with a slight chuckle.
