Hideaway Strath we compare women

maybe someone she hasn't officially met yet? adult or puppies? hoping to explore mulberry a bit now that she's older and can do stuff. ^-^

though mulberry wishes to linger in the comfort, familiarity and safety of her parents and brothers ...she also is beginning to grasp the still somewhat foreign concept that she needs to socialize. hiding between derg's legs and burying in arlette's fur — not realizing that she stands out in stark contrast to both parents and siblings; an ( almost ) perfect echo of her grandfather and uncle — is not accomplishing the next important milestone in her development.

when she stirs awake that morning; the warm buttery beams of sunlight playing chase with the shadows upon her face, mulberry stretches, yawns and extracts herself from arlette and brothers to pad outside the den. she does not go far, still weary of the world outside it's safety and the hulking titans of the saints.

she visibly hesitates on the threshold of bravado and letting her uncertainty of the world outside the den's immediate proximity cow her. she takes a quick step towards the green foliage; breath stuttering in her throat and ears slicking back against her skull. she wobbles as she lifts another paw and takes another step before with breathless excitement, seeding terror and adrenaline thrum thru her veins as she keeps going ...unsure where and to whom her steps would take her.
