- Melody had only been brought back into her home pack for about a week and already she had pretty much completely assimilated herself into the pack. He was energetic and fun-loving, just like any other normal pup. Along with this came her natural curiosity for this new home that she was unfamiliar with. Already she had picked up a habit of wandering off on her own to explore her surroundings. A good amount of the time it was because she was chasing after some small little animal like a mouse, a vole or a white rabbit.
This was the same case today. Melody had sniffed out a vole that had been hiding in the snow. Her curious nose sniffed him out and she began to dig. Her digging prompted the small creature to shoot out of his burrow across the ground and through the trees to another burrow. After chasing him, Melody began to dig again, and when she got too close, the vole shot back out again.
This continued for quite some time until the creature that would have easily fit snugly in her mouth bolted into a den to find a hiding spot. Of course, Melody hadn't been thinking about where she was, or even where she was going, and darted in right after the little brown ball of fluff. She ran at full speed until she came into the heart of the occupied den and made to stop, but ended up tripping over her paws and tumbling into something. She wasn't quite sure what it was she ran into, but she did hear a loud crash as various objects tumbled to the floor.
A small groan issued from the back of her throat, but it was more from disappointment than anything else. And so with a quick huff through her nostrils, the pup twisted herself until she was back on her paws and up sniffing around for her query. "Hey, where'd you go little fluff?" she called out, completely ignoring the fully grown wolf who's den she had just invaded as she began to sniff around for the vole. "Come on out I just wanna play." she finished as she slapped her paw against the cold floor and dug her claws lightly into where it had come down.
She had taken a playful pose as she searched. Her head was down near the ground with her front paws as she sniffed for the creature she had chased for so long already while her hind end was sticking straight up in the air. Her playfulness was evident by this posture as well as the fact that her tail was swishing fairly forcefully from left to right about as high in the air as she could get it.
