Hideaway Strath That perfect moment, the last tear you shed

Arlette listened to the howl of Simmik. She grew excited so it was finally happening then! She nudged her babies. They were now around five weeks old. She forgot the time really. Arlette looked at @Derg. She would need his help getting the pups there. The site wasn't too far away. She looked down at her little ones. "Ready for an adventure?," she asked them. They probably wouldn't understand but Arlette's excitement shone through.

She hoped the pups would make it. It was only a little walk, but they had little legs. She started to walk, hoping Derg would be at the rear to fetch any stragglers. She woofed for them to follow. Arlette had been a little different in her parenting than to Simmik. Before the two weeks had passed she had moved her children from the chambers to her own den. So from three weeks of age she had already taken the pups outside the den to explore. She wanted them to be able to explore as much as they wanted, plus it caused for tired pups. She always kept a watchful eye, together with her mate.

Now they would move again, to play with Simmik's children and to meet the rest of the pack who hadn't seen them. They arrived after a short walk maying sure her three balls of fluff stayed close with her. Arlette woofed in greeting, her eyes instantly going to Simmik her pups. Her tail was wagging in greeting.
