The little black nose she wore was a half decent guide, leading her out of their home cave and into the brisk winter day. It was an interesting smell, tickling her nostrils at first, then not letting her rest until she had found the source. It took her into the cold, the snow that had become packed and in some places slick with ice. Crunching along the outside of the cave she let her eyes wander up and down, searching for what ever had caught her noses attention.
It was sweet, or was it tangy? It was to complex for his inexperienced mind to decipher. Of course it was much simpler to anyone else that may be following her, but to the earthen hued girl was lost in her own world. Skirting around the mansion’s boundaries, her big paws found it difficult to keep her disproportioned body upright. Slipping she was forced to find relief in the paw prints of another much larger beast.
Hopping from print to print she made her way around the white fence. Eyes caught something much like the smell her nose had found and followed. Only able to focus on one thing at once the pup moved toward the ice beams that hung from the picket fence railings. Its wasn’t something truly new, but usually such things hung from tall openings, or the roof of the house. Curiosity made her tall wiggle, as a pink tongue searched to catch the drop of water the clung to the icicle's end. |
