And… a couple of reviews. Well, I might as well make another chapter for y'all.
The sun slowly started making its way into the morning sky. The blizzard had long since passed, but it was still quite chilly. Several sun beans cracked through a beached trawler, hitting one of its residences, "ugh…" groaned Balto, "today's another day," he grumbled. He tried getting up only to notice there was a slight bit extra weight on his side, Snow was sleeping comfortably in his side without a care in the world. The pup nested further into the wolf-dog's fur, making him freeze up for several minutes. After what felt like days, the pup's eyes slowly crept open, with a clap of his teeth, he scooted closer to Balto's face, "thank you," Snow licked his face in appreciation, "no problem little fella," the pup got off of him and sat down.
After a long stretch, the hybrid got up, the pup fixed his eyes on the ground, he was quite nervous, "is anything bothering you?"" Snow shook his head, "I-I just wanted to ask you… c-can I-I stay w-with you?" Balto smiled at the last few words of the question. Taking a deep breath, "of course you can, what kind of dog would I be to force a pup back out?" The little husky's tail began swinging left and right, "now let's get you some food, Snow," picking him up by the scruff, the pup pouted about being carried like a newborn, but only to stop after seeing how deep the snow was.
The land between his new guardian's home and the neighbouring town was a nice open field, it seemed ideal for a nice game of fetch during spring, "why do you live so far from town?" Asked Snow. The wolf-dog's mind began racing, should Balto tell him the truth? "It's because it's quieter that far out," he lied, "hey Balto!" Called a small human's voice, the human, no older than five or six ran up to the two. She was followed by a rust and cream husky, who had a bandanna around her neck. The little girl squealed at the sight of Snow, "where did you find this little guy?" Jumping up and down, she scooped the tiny animal into her arms, and the pup just had a confused expression. Did children really like the sight of puppies that much?
"Hey Jenna," Balto greeted, "hello Balto, where did you find the pup? "Just found him in an alleyway last night. Looking up to Snow, who was still in her arms, the two chuckled, "Rosy seems to like him," joked the husky, "I think she might sneak out to my boat to steal him now," after all the commotion was over, Rosy petted the two strays, and went to presumably find her parents. The pup stumbled on his first few steps, "I feel like… a hotdog," he slurred while dizzily walking by Balto's side. After slipping, the wolfdog just picked him up, and continued their little journey to the butcher's shop.
