The reason why I made this table.
Kohaku stood on his hind legs with his forepaws leaning against the thin trunk. Wide eyes stared up at a bird who rested peacefully in the top of the tree. His stomach rumbled and he whined softly. Lucia looked up from her play and wandered over to where her brother. She too turned her gaze skywards and saw the black bird. Its bright red shoulders caught her eyes and her tail wagged so hard that her rear began to shake. She turned to look at her more colorful brother and watched as he tried to climb the tree. At the base of the tree, there was a narrow sections where the very first branch split off from the main body. It was unusually low to the point where it was easy for the tiny male to climb on top of it. It took Kohaku several attempts to climb on top of the limb, and all the while Lucia watched with an expectant gaze.
A loud yelp broke through the quiet clearing and Kiara's eyes flew open as she stood alert. The young mother had been taking a pleasant nap, but even in her shallow sleep she was still wary of danger. "Haku!" Lucia's loud, worried cry caught Kiara's attention as her daughter came rushing toward her. "Momma!" The arctic wolf looked around frantically until her focus rested on Kohaku. His deep blue eyes stared at her pathetically as he whimpered from his place in the tree. The young puppy had managed to get himself firmly stuck between the two parts of the tree.
Kiara chuckled at the humorous sight and softly strode over to her son. "Mommy." His small, young voice sounded so sad that Kiara's heart gave out. "It's okay Kohaku, mommy is here." Without another word she reared up on her hind legs and braced one forepaws against the tree, one each side of Kohaku. Her large head bent down and she grabbed the scruff of her son's neck gently with her teeth. The white mother was able to extract Kohaku without too much trouble and soon he was bounding off to wrestle with Lucia. Kiara remained by the tree and watched happily as her puppies wrestled one another.
