Naruka,Big Tooth and Sasita
Naruka exited her den after not really comming out in two weeks. She was followed by her largest pup and her blind pup. She moved toward the feeding gate.
Big Tooth followed his mother. Two weeks old you could tell he was the largest of the group.
The Surprise was Sasita who was Albino. Though she is blind and partially deaf in her right ear.She followed her mothers sound and scent.
Sterling/Dragon
Sterling followed his mother. His sister, Dragon, the smallest of the litter, was not far behind.
Kate & Ian
They had made a risky move in allowing the pups to stay with the mother, but they felt it was worth the risk to promote more natural behavior from the pups. Besides, they were sure that they could win over the trust of the pups if they spent enough time with them.
Moving in through the double doors, Ian carried a bucket of meat while Kate held a notebook and a large bucket-looking device. The two 'howled', trying to catch the attention of the pack.
Naruka, Big Tooth and Sasita
Naruka heard the howl and immediatly howled back and headed straight for them.She had been raised around these humans and trusted them.Tail held in upper postion. She immediatly went for the meat. She hadn't been out of the den in age.
The two week old male followed his mother. He sniffed around.
Sasita the albino blind fem stopped smelling something strange she whimpered.
Kate & Ian
Ian tossed out a peice of meat for Naruka, watching her closely to make sure that she was looking healthy and fit.
Meanwhile, Kate held out a piece of meat, trying to entice the pups closer. She was surprised and delighted to see the little albino female, but didn't yet realize that Sasita was blind.
Sasita
She smelt the weird stuff her father braught her mother every now and then and nosed her way towards it bumping into kate not knowing she was there.She yelped.
Naruka:Naruka was skinny. Everything she had eaten had gone right through her.She sneezed and then ate her piece of meat knowing the humans wouldn't hurt her four pups.
Big tooth yawned and sniffed at the meat.
Kate & Ian
She gasped in surprise when the pup blundered into her, and reached down to pick her up. "Ian, I think there's something wrong with this one."
"Kili doesn't look so well either." Ian pointed out, using the name that the humans had given Naruka. "What's the matter, girl?" He wondered out loud, trying to figure out what other symptoms she might have.
Naruka
All the cold and little nutrition she had gotten had caused her to go under weight.She finished her food and then looked at the human.
she struggled a bit. She was blind and partially deaf in one ear. That ear actually had an ear infection at the moment.
Big yawned as he sniffed the meat and tasted it.He spat it out and let his mouth hang open.
Kate & Ian
She held onto Sasita, wanting to take the pup inside to see just what was wrong with her. "We'll start adding vitamins to the meat, and see if that helps Kili. In the meantime, why don't you weigh the little male while I take this one inside."
Ian nodded, and reached forward slowly as he tried to pick up the little male...
Naruka
She knew what they were doing. Seeing as she had had it done to her when she wasl ittle.Its alright pups you go with them you'll be backShe spoke quietly.
Big Tooth he growled playflly as he was picked up.
Sasita;she soon began to try to nurse on the lady.
Sterling/Dragon/Jay
Sterling watched as his siblings were taken away. "What are they doing?" The male whispered to his sister.
Dragon shook her head. "I don't know." She replied, walking to the gate. She turned her head and looked at the fence surrounding them. Then she looked at her mother. "What's out there?" She asked. She herself, and her brother, were quite weak as well.
Suddenly, the father approached. He didn't exactly like humans taking his family away. "What's going on?!" He barked.
Naruka
Naruka turned as her mate approched.They are taking them to look them over and make sure they are healthy, Plus I don't think they realize Sasita is blind. They also give them some shots that help protect from diseases don't worry i had it done, i was born hereShe said now rubbing up against him.
Kate & Ian
Ian grinned at the pup's antics, before noticing the arrival of the other three. "Kate, watch the big bloke." He warned quietly, reading into Jay's body language.
Holding onto Sasita with one arm, Kate moved slowly forward as she tried to pick up Sterling by the scruff.
Ian took hold of the pups scruff as well, before inching towards Dragon and trying to pick her up in the same manner. All the while, both humans watched the parents. If they read the slightest signs of imposing attack, they'd let the pups go.
Sterling/Dragon
Sterling allowed himself to be picked up by the woman, though the look on his face said that he wasn't too sure about it.
Dragon was much more relaxed. She happily wagged her tail and she was picked up. "Where are you going to take me?" She asked curiously.
Naruka
She just sat and watched and then yawned
Sasita and big tooth just remaind still.
