Sunshine was warm- it was like finding the perfect spot in a snuggle puddle with her family, but without the chance of being elbowed or pushed out of the sweet spot by one of her siblings or worse- catching a whiff of one of their sleep-farts.
Any invitation to go outside in the sunshine was a welcome one. She didn’t begrudge having supervision at all- not when she loved her parents so dearly. She knew nothing of danger, or why it was important to stay within sight- but she also had no interest in pushing boundaries, not yet.
Not when she had a nice patch of dry, flat, sandy earth that had been warmed all morning, and no trees above to cast shade over her. She uttered happy little noises as she circled and then flopped onto the ground, laying still for moment to absorb the warmth from the dry earth. She rolled and wriggled, coating her fur in a layer of dust, and stretched out on her back, sticking her back legs out and curling her front paws to her chest (looking somewhat like a thawed turkey) and tilted her head back so the sun wouldn’t be in her eyes.
Smacking her lips with satisfaction, she felt the warm sun on her belly and shuddered, happily.

Rhonen tried to stay away from the babies. He was large and scary. Not to mention he was not family. But they were roaming now. And if he wanted to visit anyone they were usually just there. He shifted and walked. In his maw some sweet smellings herbs and a few bones for little teeth.
The sun was warm on his back. He enjoyed it. It made him miss his mama though. She'd have been planting her garden by now.
He stopped short qhen the little one in front began to stretch and move about. He stayed quite a few feet away. Gaze searching for her parents so he didn't make someone angry.
Then he settled to his haunches still farther away and lay his bundles at his feet. Ice blues twinkling.

unbeknownst to either, trouble lurked in the shadows.
falk had just awoke from his afternoon nap and was feeling rowdier than ever. butt wiggling through the shrubs surrounding their den, paws thunderous and not at all stealthy as he approaches.
he thinks he is hiding. he's the best hunter around!
he comes tumbling from the underbrush, forelegs extended and jaw unhinged to land a killing blow against his favorite sister.

Happiness was as beautiful and fragile as a butterfly's wing.
One moment, she had peace, warmth, solitude, and quiet. The next, she cracked open her eyes to see the face of the young man who had visited once before- regarded now (for the briefest instant) with a look of kittenish curiosity. Distracted, the young girl left herself completely vulnerable to the sneak-attack of her brother whose opened jaws and prickly baby teeth found her neck which- fortunately- sported a healthy layer of puppy fat. But that didn't mean it didn't hurt!

Uhhh-NAAAAOWWWW!Came her harpy-screech, high enough to rattle the dust off your grandmother's chandelier. Faced with no other options, she began to do her best alligator-roll, hoping it might either dislodge her brother's grip or pull him end over end with her.

Rhonen blinked at the younger girl. A swelling in his heart when she didn't show fear this time. That was a small favor of nature he supposed. But he too had missed the movement of her brother until he was too close for the young man to call out. And then he couldn't quite hide the smile and the quiet laugh at their play.
He couldn't really join in though. He was much to large, he might hurt them. But he could keep an eye out for anything that may hurt them or that they may hurt themselves. After all sometimes puppies didn't know their own strength.
