He had taken Conor's advice to heart when it came to moving dens. Gideon would wait to move out to the eastern part of the territory until the pups were a little bit bigger. He didn't want them any closer to the border than they needed to be...didn't want them leaving the packlands and trying to explore other places any time soon. Gideon often worried about what the pups were up to when they were out of the den...what sorts of trouble they could be getting into.
It was pretty chilly outside, but the ground felt squishy beneath his feet. It must have rained the night before, or something. Since learning to shift Gideon had kept to his two-legged form, unsure of how exactly to shift back down out of it. He had tried not to scare the pups too much when they had woken up from their nap that day! He looked completely different now.
A familiar cry took his attention immediately from the squishiness of the ground in front of him, a frown immediately crossing his face. What was wrong?! He started to run, slipping a little bit in the mud as he went, his legs pumping. When he reached the area that the cry had come from he almost didn't spot Range at all. The muddy puppy blended almost completely in with the mud-hole that he had been playing in.
Was Range stuck? He walked closer, his own hind feet creating large holes where they had pushed into the mud and then come back up. "What's wrong? Did someone hurt you? Throw you in the mud?" He asked, crouching down. Wow...Range really was completely covered in mud.
