Amy touched her stomach gingerly. The swell was noticeable now. Not bursting, like it would be, but definitely sticking out. It made running the shop even more difficult. Males that would have visited just because of her beauty now avoided her, not wanting to deal with pregnancy and children. Females that would have walked past stopped to chat, offering good wishes, but not necessarily buying anything. It made business slow. When business got slow, Amy got bored.
She nodded along as an elderly coyote babbled at her about how exciting it was that pups would be coming, and giving all kinds of advice about what to do at the birth. After the first minute where Amy figured out that the grandmother wouldn't be buying anything she just tuned her out, watching the crowds go by idly. It was frustrating. She needed to hire somebody to help her now, someone who could run the shop while she dealt with this, not being distracted by all these good wishes.
