Blacktail Deer Plateau hey man,

Seeing the annoyance on the wolf’s face as he turned around. Cosmo took another step back, shrinking a bit as he attempted to gauge his response. Once it was clear that he wasn’t about to get eaten (as he was just now remembering the stories of big bad wolves eating poor innocent dogs, sometimes even humans!), he perked up in relief, and his tail started wagging up a storm behind him.

“Oh! Then I’m double sorry for thinking you were-and-then-weren’t a dog! I think that counts, if you want it to!” As the wolf – Kindle, his name was – came to stand right in front of him, Cosmo was overcome with an excited energy at finally meeting a friendly face, after going so long without one.

“I’m Cosmo! Nice to meet’cha!” As he spoke, he crouched into a play bow, unable to hold in any of that excess energy coursing through him. “Y’know, one of the sled dogs with me was a wolfdog! Well, is, I’m sure she still is one!” All of a sudden, he bounced up, running in a circle around Kindle, practically speaking a thousand words per minute. “She’s mainly dog, though, but she was super big, and used to say we had to listen to her since she’s got wolf in her. Usually she was at the back, since she was so strong, and I was at the front, so I didn’t listen to her most of the time.” He stopped in a half crouch all of a sudden, paws spread out around him as he stared up at Kindle. “You, though, you’re way more wolf than she is. Oh, I’m Cosmo. Did I say that? I’m not a wolf, I’m a Samoyed.”
