Leilah was never much of a late sleeper. But today, she was up especially early. She had spent most of her days before going Anathema walking until her paws hurt to bad to carry on. Now that she finally had a new place to call home, she was free to focus on different tasks of her choice.
She expected she would be given chores eventually. Every time she encountered a possible playmate, they always turned out to be much to busy. An insect had distracted her for a while. She practiced her pouncing, and played an entertaining game of chase for a while. Most bugs she found could fly-- Like the red ones with black spots. They would always land on her, usually on her back, and drive her crazy! Then, just when she felt like she was getting close to capturing the little bugger, it would fly off. She shuddered, feeling her skin crawl beneath her fur. It was such an ugly sensation.. Having an itch you just couldn't reach. She lowered her purple eyes upon spotting movement by a nearby piece of grass. Her fluffy ears flickered, listening closely to see if she could hear the whistle of wind passing through the trees.

After sensing no movement under her small brown paws, she turned one over to the side to check underneath them. Just as soon as it happened, a small insect jumped out of her grasp. Leilah signed softly.. "Fooled by a buggy!"
The pup trotted on, searching for a new source of enjoyment. She hadn't wandered all that far past one of the Howling Cavern Entrances when she discovered a barn. Her nose wiggled, along with her tail as she excitedly sniffed at the smells that came with this previously undiscovered area. She circled around the barn, then ran towards the scent of another canine. "Maybe they want to play.."
