The cowboy followed the tilt of her muzzle in the direction of the houses, and he nodded in agreement. He brightened a little, looking more alert at the prospect. He knew that the winter solstice was coming up, and gifts would be exchanged; perhaps he could find something for one of the pack mates he hadn’t quite gotten to know. And Dixie-May, of course, he would save something special for her if he could get his paws on anything worthwhile. He could forget for a moment about her departure as he imagined this, and so he wore the lightest of smiles as he followed after the blonde dog toward the houses.
Wayne turned his head to glance at Fern, who followed carefully on the broken pavement.

I ain’t an ambitious man.” He smirked slightly then paused at one of the houses, bending slightly to glance through the doorway. “What do ya think we’ll find?” he asked her, half playfully.
