Denali 
Alder sat in the grass, blue eyes looking up at the sky. He had grown tall in the past weeks, sprouting upwards as well as out in such a short time. He was gangly and his legs felt far too long for his round body. Ears were not strong, and flapped when he ran too fast and his paws were so big that he still tripped over them at times. Such clumsiness made him more apt to sit and reflect, his adventurous nature was still so mild anyhow. He didn’t need to seek far away lands to find adventure, he could simply look up and watch the clouds pass by and imagine all sorts of things and creatures within their cotton ball fluff. Or he would play in the garden, still letting his mind travel off so that he could pretend to be someone or something else.
But today he looked up, naming the animals that he saw in the white clouds. There were a few made of gray, some that spoke of rain. It wasn’t in the air he concluded having learned how to smell it out, but that did not guarantee a rainless day, his mother had taught him. So that yougth did not ignore the dark clouds but simply put them out of his thoughts momentarily so that he could get back to his game. More often then not he found a bunny hopping from one cloud to the other. Or he saw a hippo eating a boat or a horse riding an elephant. The masked pup’s neck was starting to strain and he twisted it with the hopes of unknotting the muscles. But it was better then getting lost in territories his mother hadn’t shown him yet, or meeting a stranger and trying to figure out what to say to them. He liked the quiet, and pretended to like his solitude.
