The warm sun had begun to warm the woman, causing her eyes to droop, a yawn pushing from her chest. Drowsiness was threatening to take over and throw her into a light sleep when she heard the soft pitter patter foot falls of a puppy…a rather large puppy at that. Grinning, the woman stretched out on the chunk of wood, light colored eyes opened wide and watching for Adelle. Hopefully the little rascal wouldn’t go running into Vito’s pen, as she was sure the large stallion would not appreciate the intruder. Hopefully he wouldn’t try to trample her…maybe chase and give her a good scare though.
Her lips pulled into a wider grin when the two toned pup came bounding over, looking excited and simply happy to be alive. The little one was always so active, constantly trying to get into this or that, wanting to learn about everything in sight. It made Dixie think about possibly having pups in the future…and she shuddered, obviously not ready to even truly consider such a thing. Getting pregnant would result in gaining weight, special treatment, probably an inability to shift or ride horses…or even work or do anything! That was just not an option at all, at least not until the pack was more stable and the livestock situation was fixed. Dixie refused to become incapacitated in any way until she knew her family was well taken care of.
Hey there, hun…how are you? Her hand slid out and reached over to stroke at the pup’s head gently, scratching behind her ears and down her neck, ruffling the thick fur there. I jus’ went for a ride and now I’m a bit tired…what’re you doin’ all the way out here, hmm? Her head tilted to the side as she watched the little one, truly wondering what she’d be doing wandering around where the horses were without anyone nearby to help if she really needed it.
