Duskfire Glacier everyone hail to the pumpkin song

As much as she enjoyed the idea of taking the pups on a field trip to the pumpkin patch, Meerkat felt it was a safer bet to bring a few of the Cucurbita pepo to them. As she carefully selected and rolled the choicest gourds from the neighboring wood toward the territory's borders, it triggered some strong nostalgia. She had mentioned the idea of a harvest feast to some pack mates in passing and wondered if there was any possibility they could actually pull off something like that here.

Finally, she rounded up enough pumpkins for a 1:1 ratio and a few bonus gourds, just in case. Meerkat placed them in a pile close to the lake, then sat to catch her breath and recover from the effort. As she sat in a shady spot, lazily admiring the fall foliage, she pondered whether it was wise to invite all the pups, considering what had happened last month.

She came up with something of a compromise. Rising, Meerkat shook out her pelt and sent up a series of calls. First, she summoned @Issorartuyok. This would be a prime opportunity to introduce him to the pups, with their parents present. On that note, she invited @Imaq, @Lane, @Tzila (the mothers), @Rye and @Wintersbane (the fathers) to bring their puppies—@Arius, @Ensio, @Makatza, @Sikuliak, @Veteran and @Wayfarer—to her location if playing around with pumpkins sounded like a fun fall pastime to them.
