It didn't matter where she went or when she got to where she wanted to go. By Lunch time Her Little Fuzzball started to make hungry sounds, so she stopped for Lunch. She didn't feel like eating so she just made her Pups food and fed him in silence. To stay on top of things she took her meds. She didn't want to be caught out in the open and weak.
The Little Pup could tell that his Mommy was upset so he did his best to not be a burden but tried to make her feel better. When he was done eating, he tried to get her to play with him. Getting into his lowered position ready to pounce he then went for her foot. Before he landed Scarlet moved her foot and said with a fake shocked expression "Oh no I'm under attack from a Vicious Beast! Someone anyone help!!"
She started to run around and let him get close and run again. She grabbed some leaf's that were about the size of the Pup and said, "I guess that I need to Help Myself." Taking the leaf's, she started lightly swatting at him. When he was going in for the Kill he leaped up and went for her shirt.
Once he had it, he growled, and she acted like she was mortally wounded and collapsed on the ground in a dramatic way and really acted out her defeat to the Almighty Pup. He was so happy not only did he win but his Mommy was feeling better. As he stood on her chest, he howled in triumph with his tail swinging wildly.
Laughing she grabbed her Pup and sniggled with him for a little, with him loving every bit of attention he was getting. They just laid there enjoying each other's company for a while before Scarlet said "Okay, it's getting late how about we find a place to hunker down for the night. Which direction do you want to go to look for a camp?"
His tail was wagging so hard his little butt was moving with it. He was so happy that he got to pick the direction for them. He thought to himself "I need to pick a good spot for Mommy because she has been so sad today." Sniffing in each direction he wondered where would be good. Finally, he decided and let her know by Lifting his Little paw and using his nose to point.
As Scarlet looked in the direction, he was pointing she said, "Okay Little Fuzzball lets go you can lead the way just be careful okay."
Feeling proud and grown up he started to walk in the direction that he had picked. Sniffing the ground and air along the way to make sure nothing was out there to hurt his Mommy. It was getting close to sundown, and they had not come to a good place to stop for the night. The Little Fuzzball turned around looking like he failed his Mommy, because he couldn't find a safe spot for them.
Scarlet just looked at him with a bright smile and said, "It's okay Sweet Pup, Here is a good spot for us to camp."
When he shook his head No and pointed his nose in the direction they were heading. All she could do was just keep walking and continue their path. Not long after they started to move again, it started to get dark. They reached a field that he was happy with and looked back at his Mommy with a happy face and a wagging tail.
They camped at the edge of the field and just admired it while they ate. With the smell of the Soft scented Flowers in the field, the sky with all its stars, and Full Moon the sight was so Breathtakingly Beautiful. Scarlet Smiled and said "I got to admit it Fuzzball you did good. This is the Perfect Spot. I needed this after today. Thank you, Baby."
He was Over the Moon with a compliment from his Mommy. He crawled up her body to curl himself up at the nape of her neck and snuggled his Mommy. Both felt very content just being them Two.
The Next morning was just as Beautiful as the night was, with the Sun coming up and making the sky Orange, Purple and a Little Blue. After breakfast they headed out in search of something new, with a since of peace.
