It seemed like most of his life had been spent within the walls of the manor and it had. Now it was time to explore the world beyond those walls. Now momma said they were old enough to go out on their own now. Though he wasn't suppose to stray far from the manor though and it was a rule he hadn't broken, yet. The orchard and gardens around the yard were more than enough too explore for the young pup. For now at least. It hadn't taken him long to find something to play with. Even if it was just a simple stick. Dead and brittle it cracked under the bite of his teeth. It splintered in mouth leaving chunks of wood and bark on his tongue. Yuck! He stuck tongue in and out, trying to get the bits of stick of his tongue.
Little bits of wood and bark still stuck to his tongue and mouth, no matter how much he licked and scraped his tongue on his teeth. His troubles were quickly forgotten as a grasshopper landed in front of him. He tilted his head as he looked at it with one ear perked. The bug shuffled its back legs funny as it folded its wings away. A playful growl rumbled in the pups chest, before he barked at the insect. It turned away from him before quickly jumping and flying away. A game! Cypress sprang after the grasshopper, chasing after it. Once he found it again, he gave it his best 'let's play' stance, with his butt in the air and his tail waving like some sort of banner. GRRrrrrrrRawrk! and the grasshopper took of again.
Cypress took after the grasshopper again but some how lost track of it. It had landed right here. He had seen it, but where did it to go. He turned around to look behind himself, then began sniffing about. After a bit of sniffing around, Cypress forgot what he had been trying to find in the first place. Having found a familiar scent, his brows kneaded together. Who was it? It wasn't Momma or his brothers but he had smelled it around manor before. It bothered him that he couldn't remember who the scent belonged to so he tried to follow it. Maybe he could find out.
