Vaeyla kept giving the puppy attention as she talked, something that gave her points in Terken's book. He grinned at her. "Dogs are easier then kids. They can't tell you no. And most of hte time they want to obey, they just need to figure out what you want."
He shook his head at the words about punishments. "I've had more than my share doing that." He snorted. "Punishment duty is the worst. I still remember having to help clear out the herd beast pens, and having to clean up after a turn's end gather."
"Well you can either rotate pups or sit down and let them climb on you. I was going to do that once I'd found Thief." He looked down at the pup and ruffled his ears gently, offering the pup a chewy treat. "I am glad you're sturdy though." He sat down then and the pups instantly mobbed him, climbing on him, the young man settling them down, keeping them from jumping up and gently scratching ears and chins to let each know they were cared for.
As Kela saw their attention slide from her to him, she lay down again, tail giving a thump. She was a good mother, but her babies were wearing her out. If she could catch a nap however...That would be canine heaven to the dog
