Well Deserved Rest, or Maybe Not

22 months is the minimum age to have puppies here. ^_^

Raissa explained that he heat wouldn't arrive until spring and FitzDutiful looked immediately downcast. "Ah," he said. He wished it was sooner for he had been looking forward to it - not that he had a clue what would be happening or how it would even occur. Then it hit exactly what she'd said.

"Wait. You've never been through a heat before either?" He had known she was a yearling, he just wasn't aware that females also had to wait to reach a certain age like males had. He had assumed that the two genders developed differently and had different maturity patterns. Maybe that would still be the case. If she hadn't been through a heat before then how did she know when it would occur? Did females just... know?

They were both so new to all of this that all of a sudden he was worried that he would do it all wrong. Briefly he conjured another What Would Peregrine Do moment. His previous alpha had managed to have two litters quite successfully. FitzDutiful wasn't aware of all the drama that had occurred from his first litter though he knew the first hadn't been the most successful when it came to parenting. Regardless of how successful the relationship had been he had managed to do the actual creating of puppies.

Surely FitzDutiful could grasp it too.
