Redhawk Caldera i think the universe is on my side.

Tearing herself away from Elwood's .......whipperdoodle..... LOL I kid - his side. Tearing herself away from Elwood's side was a rather difficult feat for Finley those days. Their relationship was so new and exciting that she found herself unable to get enough of him. But, they did have their own duties to attend to and with Fox's birthing immanent, it would have be just plain irresponsible for them to while all of their time away kerflomping like bunnies. So, that afternoon found Fin striding through the pine forest at the Caldera's Western inner edge, dutifully tracking down what her nose suggested was a decent sized flock of pheasants, hiding somewhere in one of the forest's many pockets of underbrush.

"Where are you, you bitches..." the beta muttered to herself as she crept along with her nose to the ground. She'd been following the trail for what seemed like hours, even though it was probably more like hour with nothing to show for it except a couple of feathers snagged on a patch of thorn bushes. She heaved a sigh and continued to meander, allowing her thoughts to wander to Elwood. A tiny smile slipped across her muzzle, her mood instantly lifted. Little did she realize that at that very moment, her most of her packmates were off somewhere being all dramatic and angsty. Funny really since only a week or so ago, Fin would've been the most dramatic and angsty of them all, and now here she was, humming softly to her giddy little self while she worked.
