Time had gone by since Rainingsun had her first and so far, only, litter. Two of her three pups had moved on but Shadowghost had remained by her side. Not that Rainingsun and Shadowghost stayed completely close through all this time. They were close but the two did not spend a great deal of time together. Even Rainingsuns brother seemed on the distant side these days. But everything was what it was and Rainingsun was not the type to dwell on such thoughts.

Instead, the bright yellow wild dog spent her time fulfilling her duties to the pack in the ways of the hunt. She also found great joy in goofing off and acting more like a puppy then she really was. At this very moment the yellow wild dog had found her self on the packs boarders goofing around with her to be kill. The nameless hoofed prey was scared this way and that way all the while under Rainingsuns complete control. She nipped at its heels playfully as she herded it right where she wanted it as if she was some sort of sheep dog.

Little did the wild dog know that close by Shadowghost watched.

Not to far off from all this rumpus was the dark female. Rainingsun was a wild dog that was known for being a little to puppy like for her age so it was a no brainer for Shadowghost to up and follow her mother to see what she was up to. Some times the yellow wild dogs games were not always the most thought out and could lead to her getting hurt. Shadowghost was not about to let her mother be alone and hurt. Specially not on the boarder. So, silently, the female watched.
