Blackfeather Woods different kind of happy

Cicero, at the age of one month and a bit, did not understand much yet about the world and what was expected of him; he mostly worked on instinct. He could mimic his father, and could come up with things and games all by himself, but he could not yet decipher what anyone wanted when they spoke to him. Cicero let out a happy "Bwaaagh!" when his father licked his head, his tail wagging cheerily, but when he was asked to 'try again' he did not understand.

"Wah?" he queried and he looked at his father expectantly. After a moment of silence, Cicero was distracted by a nearby plant rustling in the wind and with an excited "Sees!" the pup threw himself at the plant, pouncing on it. He ripped the piece of greenery from the ground, roots and all, and then trotted back to his father, proudly presenting his caught prey.
