She bumped into Ceridwen’s heel when she stopped, nearly swallowing it again. Frolic coughed it forward so forcefully it came flying out of her mouth complete with a string of saliva. All of it plopped unceremoniously on top of her right forepaw.

Her older, wiser sister said something about giving the tooth to Eljay while they went and sought the perfect place to plant it. Frolic squinted and turned her head, looking for their father. He was off in the distance, watching. He waved. Frolic waved back.

But, of course, she tripped on the way there. Frolic face-planted and the tooth shot out of her mouth a second time. Sighing through her nose, the pup hoisted herself back onto all fours, brushed herself off, fetched it again and made it over to her papa without further incident.

Guard this with you’s life, she told him, smacking the little tooth into his open paw.

Spinning, she galloped back toward Ceridwen. Miraculously, she made it over to her sister without falling on her face yet again.
