Hadley had been working on making a safe section in the house and converting it into an area for the pups to play in. Sawdust littered his body, trying to make sure that there wasn't a single rough patch the pups could end up being injured on. There were toys he'd been making as well, but it wasn't enough. He couldn't make soft pelts for the pups to snuggle in, a good place for them to come and listen to stories and stay warm by their mother. He'd have to trade for that.
His head lifted up at the call, listening to the tone. A hunt. Hadley's tail wagged, knowing that he could use the help in taking down some prey. He was a poor hunter, and could use all the food he could get to feed to his pregnant mate. Shifting into lupine form he loped over, his scarred form still ragged with muscle in appearance. He sat down next to Alyssum, looking over the herd. Whining a little he looked over to her, wondering what she would like him to do.
