Laughing Terra shook her head. She'd never name her pups such jinxed names! The thought was entertaining. Only if you insist. Teasing she shook her head, a dry feeling running through her. Terra laid there for a moment, trying to place what she had just felt. Another rumble ran through, and she realized she was dying of thirst. She stayed as she was, wondering if it was worth the effort to try and get up and move to do something about it. Alas, the feeling was refusing to fade. Grunting her paws dug into the soft embankment, pushing her swollen frame to stand.
It was sad that such a feat gave her a sense of accomplishment nowadays. What happened to her smooth fleet form, able to escape and maneuver where no one else could? Lowering her head she moved to the stream, and took a deep drink. Having it close had been a great idea. Had she actually made that choice? Terra wasn't sure. She'd just known once she'd found the place that it was perfect for what she needed, and had went to work setting herself up.
