Stavanger Bay Heavy Hearts

Thistle stood stock still while other howls joined hers. She even returned the gentle nudge from Charon, extremely appreciative of the peppered boy. She tilted her head and looked down. Wondering what she could do, and how she could get past this. Frankly she had no idea. The pain was worse than anything she had ever imagined. It resonated from the inside out, and her heart felt tight and squeezed. How would she live without him? Despite the fact that she had too. She sniffled gently, and lifting her muzzle one more time she called to the two she wanted to bury him. @Aesop and @Atreyu . She called them to her, hoping that they would come quickly. 

She turned towards Charon and sadness filled her up. Charon, can you help bury Ragnar, when the other two come? I'll help too of course. Then she waited silently hoping to end the day. All she wanted to do was cry, and hug her babies, all of them even the ones too big to be hugged and those adopted.
