For NayNay!
He could still remember how good the deer leg that his Aunt Bris had brought back for him and Saul had been. After eating Gideon had gnawed on most of the bones until they were gone, but he'd saved one nice long one and had buried it out behind the big house. At the time, the pup had thought that it would be easy to find...but now he was having some difficulties. The dark pup stood out behind the house, nose to the ground, trying to smell the bone out. His nose wasn't too good at this type of stuff yet.
Easily distracted, the hyper whelp followed the flightpath of a butterfly as it drifted past his ear. He could always try and look for that bone later on...or even get his aunt to try and help him locate it. Decision made, the pup turned to follow the insect. The small white butterfly led him around the side of the house, up onto the porch, back down from the porch, and then off into the wooded area. What was it looking for, he wondered. He kept up with it easily enough, large paws padding through the mud and over tree branches and fallen logs.
A patch of flowers came to view as he walked a little farther along, eyes still trained on the speck of white that fluttered ahead. Oooh! That was it. The butterfly came to rest on one of the flowers and he sat nearby to watch. This was a very beautiful part of Dahlia, he noticed. Not as pretty as the garden he had discovered, but still very beautiful.
A buzzing sound caught his attention next and the adolescent turned his head this way and that, trying to locate its source. It was rather loud, now that he was paying more attention to it...and was it coming from above him? He looked up into one of the nearby trees, turquoise eyes curious. There was something up there that was buzzing, that was for sure...as he got closer to the tree it got quite a bit louder. He put his front paws up on the tree's trunk, stretching upward to get a better look at the source.
