The sun was high and the breeze was slow. It was the perfect morning for a patrol, but Queenie was too busy begrudgingly nursing @Mali, @Brilliance, and @Solomon. Despite all of her efforts to wean them early, the pups just wouldn't budge, so she figured a compromise was their best option; she would nurse them twice in the morning, twice in the evening, but during the afternoon, their milk supply was properly cut off. 

It wasn't even so much that Queenie disliked nursing; what she did dislike was having to give up her life to do it. @Delight was almost always near the den in case one of the four needed something, but today, all that Queenie needed was a friend.
