Swiftcurrent Creek Pupsitting does not mean pup-sitting

buckthorn hadn't thought too hard about why his parents were dumping him and his siblings off with this uncle of theirs, but that's primarily because buckthorn didn't think too hard about anything. 

he was contently gnawing on a stick he'd found when he noticed his sisters whispering something to one another off in the distance. his eyes narrowed on the two girls as he placed a paw over the stick to try and figure out what they were up to. whatever it was, it smelled like trouble. 

and sure enough, that's exactly what it was. buckthorn grabbed his stick, spun around, and bolted off in the opposite direction of wherever violet was heading.
