Jazper’s call was very loud and powerful, pretty much commanding that his followers come to him, wherever he may be. Dixie was so new to the feeling of being ordered around. She wasn’t used to being under someone’s command, having to listen to and follow directions. However, she figured that Jazper and Anann were the two leaders best to break her in to pack life. They were both level headed and very smart, not overly demanding and knew how to deal with the little twerp.
Wayne was with her when they heard the call and nudged her side with his muzzle, indicating that they should start running in the right direction. Sighing softly, she dropped the books she’d been carrying from a messed up house and shifted into her halfling form. The large male led the way into the forest and followed the other canines’ scents to where they were all sitting. There was a large buck lying dead on the ground, Jazper standing near it with a bloody muzzle, looking serious and ready to start some sort of meeting. ”You called?”
Dixie came bounding up behind Wayne in a flurry of white fluff and he had to reach out and snap his jaws closed around her scruff to keep her from running into the dead deer. She yelped and jerked backwards, falling at his feet in a ball, growing at him softly. Chuckling, he used one big paw and thunked her on top of the head playfully, grinning toothily at the other canines as she huffed and turned away, seeming to be pouting.
They were an interesting pair, but it was obvious that through all of the bickering and teasing they did, both cared for each other immensely and would die for one another. There would be no separating them without great pain and suffering.
