Wapun Meadow Krummhorn

Nuna very quickly decided that she liked this creme-colored she-wolf far better than Laurel, who had an inexplainable aversion to holes and every other kind of mischief. This lady, rather than reprimanding her, stopping the activity and asking to do the opposite (filling in the hole again), worked just as hard and seemed to share the joy and art of digging that Nuna did. Plus, she did not talk much, while they were working, which was a definite checkmark under "good qualities" in the young girl's books.

When they finally took a break, Nuna, who was covered in mud from head to toes, beamed at the lady and wagged her tail in response to her words. You did not have to be a genius to understand, when you were praised. She let the rest of the inquiry pass and, while her companion climbed out of the ditch they had dug out together, Nuna rolled in the mud with pleasure, finishing this activity with a hefty sneeze.
