Totoka River You just don't know it yet,

Alright, her mind was made up. This one was kind of adorable.. in a scruffy sort of way.

Pushing herself to a stand, she gestured for them to follow. There would be something to spare in their cache, and Hokulani didn't mind sharing with a hungry kid.

She doubted she would be able to be so welcoming once her own puppies were here. They would be tiny for a good while, and all these wandering feral children might mistake them for a quick snack. Was that a horrible thing to imagine? Maybe.

It couldn't be much longer now, a few weeks at most. She was sore all over, and her throat was raw from vomiting. Crusty nips were probably the worst part though, what was the point of leaking when there was nothing to feed?
