Shimmer
She enters and pads threw the cows carefully as she searches for Contus. The bull Timber and her had saved awhile ago from sinking in the mud. She barks out. "Contus?"
Timber & Contus
Timber followed after Shimmer and looked around. All the cows looked so similar! But at least their scents were somewhat unique.
It took a while to search through the large herd, but soon one bull lifted his head and directed his large ears towards the pets' calls. "I'm Contus..." he said with uncertainty, then recognized who was calling his name, "Oh, it's you two! I remeber you both."
Becca
*the hybrid follows still sullen about the loss of the few sheep. wolfish anger glintedi n her eyes from the wolf part of her. other wise she was fine.*
Timber & Contus
Contus dips his bulky, horned-head down a bit, "Ah, quite well. The feed is good, and so is the weather. We haven't been bothered by predators lately, and most of the cows have had their calves." the bull announced. One cow, a few yards from the pets, turned a wary eye to them. She had a newbord calf and wouldn't tolerate anyone getting near.
Timber waved his tail, gazing from cow to cow. Indeed, there were many calves around. Some were wobbly and scragly-looking and obviously newly born. Others were a day or so old and walked tentively near their mothers. "All seems well, then! But the same isn't for the sheep. They have a poorer time of predators."
Shimmer
She smiled and watched all the calves. "THey are beautiful." She says happily. She then hears Timber speak of the sheep. "Yes the sheep have been attacked many times by the preditors" She says in aggreement with Timber. Wanting a closer look at one of the calves she walks over but is careful for she knew the mothers got picky.
Timber & Contus
The cow snorts and lowers her head when Shimmer moved a bit closer to her half, but she didn't charge.
Contus watched a moment before speaking again, "How many of you are at the ranch? I've seen different dogs here or there." The bull states.
Timber tilted his head to the side in thought, "Well... there's my parents, Shimmer, Ivy, Becca, Nak, Elsa, and Cronus. I know there was one... oh, what was his name..." Timber trailed, off trying to remember the young wolf that had lived with them for a while.
Shimmer
Shimmer smiled. "Oh you mean Koren Timber?" Shimmer said padding closer to the calf.
Timber & Contus
"Yes, that's it! I wonder where he is?" Timber replied questioningly.
Contus shook his head, scattering a few flies who had landed on him. "Hhhmm, I don't know any of them by name, besides you two, I suppose. But I caught wind of two strange youngsters, canines. I think they must have gone towards the barn. The were young I know, so I thought maybe they were pets. But then I realized they smelt wild."
Timber tilted his head a bit, "Two youngsters?" he turned a quizzical gaze to Shimmer, "Surely Aidan wouldn't be back? With one of his siblings?" That's the only youngster he could think of.
Shimmer
She smilled and walked away from the calf and mother cow to TImbers side. "Perhapes we should go check it out then. What do you think?" She asked Timber yet watched Contus.
Timber & Contus
Timber nodded, "Yeah, we probably should. Just incase." He looked to Contus, "Nice talking to ya! We'll visit again later!" He yipped then sprinted for the Barn.
"Bye." Contus replied simply. He reached down and plucked up a moutful of greens to chew on.
Shimmer
Shimmer nods to Timber. "Goodbye Contus!" She yips happily to the bull and darts after Timber to the barn.
