(2/6)

I've buried another pup.

It somehow hurt worse this time, I suppose because I had a little more time to grow attatched. I'm down to four now, two boys and two girls. If they all survive until tommorow, I will name them.

Food is still scarce. Struggling, but surviving.

I hope I can say the same for you, Littlehare.

They made it through the night, all four of them. It seems like it's the first time in a long time the birds have sung, or the first time in a long time I could hear it.

I took it to heart and named the pups after song birds. The boys I call Finch and Wren, the girls I call Canary and Robin.

They've opened their eyes.

Tommorow I'll try to hunt something.

The boys are always getting bullied out of food by their sisters. I'll have to pay closer attention to make sure they eat as well. They seem to have developed a heirarchy. I didn't know pups could do that.

Robin is the largest of all of them. Her size is enough to keep them back so she can eat. After her is Canary. She's the smallest, but full of attitude. She's constantly pestering the others, snapping at them. They seem more irritated than afraid, but Finch tried to start a fight with her and she injured him badly enough that I had to pull her away from him. Robin is the only one who's beat her in a fight, but that hasn't kept Canary from trying again and again.

Finch and Wren grow thinner by the day. I'm afraid I am near to burying another pup.

If you are in the Forever Grounds, take care of my pups, won't you?

~~~~

Finch did not wake up this morning.

Only Wren seemed to be upset by his brother's death. Robin sees it as an opportunity for more food. Canary doesn't seem to care at all.

I worry about her.

She shows little to no emotion, unless it's about herself. She has no problem trying to maim her siblings, not for food, but just for fun. I am attempting to keep her from the others, but with Finch gone, all of her attention has been placed on Wren, and there are times where I must leave the den to hunt.

I fear one day I will return to find another dead pup. Maybe two.

I don't know what to do.

Guide me please, Littlehare
