Altezza headed to the bathroom to wash her hands. As she reached the sink and turned on the water, she swore the back of her hands were covered in blond fur. She looked up into the mirror, and the reflection of a blond greater Doggle stared back at her. She had a mass of curly hair behind her head and bright green eyes. Altezza reached up to her face and felt her muzzle and the cold, wet nose at the end.
Altezza bolted awake with a yelp. She laid back down and felt her face. She had no muzzle, just her mouth and nose in their proper, Human proportions.
Auler rolled over to turn on a lamp. He turned back to her. "You all right?"
Altezza nodded. "Yeah."
"Another earmare?" Auler asked.
That was the term for the bad dreams Altezza had had regarding her ears. There was one where her ears grew to massive size or them growing was causing her to shrink.
"That's a new one," Auler commented.
Altezza held up her ears that were approaching resting in her lap when she sat down. "I should be use to these things by now. Why do they haunt my dreams?"
"You've lived your life as something and you're suddenly something else," Auler answered. "You might have come to grips to it logically, but your emotional side still needs time."
Altezza rested her head on the soft fur of her ear. At least she had something comfortable to hug.
Auler hugged her. "But, if you did completely transform, I bet you would be an adorable Doggle."
Altezza relaxed in his embrace until she could lay down and drift back to sleep and hopefully to more pleasant dreams.
