Springtime, an onrush feeling of hope and life flourished the mountains of an uncharted territory. A surrounding forest lead by a pack of wolves that have trekked this region for many decades and yet the time has come for the third generation that was born. It was midweek in April, the weather was cloudy and a chance of rain was moderate with participation high with the mountains laid out in the vast horizon. A family that was well-balanced and creative in many ways of their relationship of bonding and keeping everyone healthy. There were two very special parents to present another chapter to their life - three children have been born and yet two daughters and a son. The timber wolf family were grateful and the parents were humble for the years they have gathered and kept the cycle of birth growing. The father Cody was protecting the den, pacing left and then right, keeping the other curious family members from entering or coming near the den. It was a desperate and dangerous moment and they were alerted every moment there was, there would be no harm done to these pup and it was that same year the pack worked extra hard to hunt as the mother, Cindy was weak and restless, allowing herself to make room and stay strong to produce the milk needed to feed. Yelps, barks, chuffs and even growls were an every day sound their children wouldn't hear for the many more weeks that was ahead.

The following weeks were dreadful and the weather wasn't very appealing either. It was very damp, too wet for the wolves to easily combine shelter under brush and thickets. Hunting wasn't as easy during the incline of the hills. The mud made it more vulnerable for the members to slip and slide. Casting their movements to be delayed and yet they succeeded one way or another, despite the distance. However, as the rain began to settle down from a week of a hard pour it was the day that the pups would open up their eyes for the first time since they were born. Obviously they all held that dazzling blue orb that glistened from the light that was a casting in the dens borrow. Cindy was able to move around more this time and able to go outside often to keep herself mobile and alert, feeding her pups again, every moment they whelped.  A few more weeks later and about a day next the change in their eyes have taken place. Each daughter and their son have developed their eyes to a different color for the rest of their life. As you may know this already...they are no longer a tint of blue, but a tint of brown and even amber.  Despite this amazing occasion, there was one thing happening that made the other members bemused. Their names weren't mentioned and the parents decided amongst a different system this time. The children would earn their names upon how they grow and handle themselves during the time out and about and exploring. Their strength, agility and speed is what the parents will decide and see how their mental capabilities would lay out as well.

As the wet season has departed, the sun has reached the limit of height for the next seasonal change. Spring has brought a blooming festive of vegetation. Nourished with greens and other wildflowers, the pack was out and about, making a change with their routine and changing courses with the herd. A migration that would soon take place later on down the road for winter - a season where the pups will then battle with their family against a snow driven region. For now they spent their days outside of the den. Finally free to move around, smell and see new surroundings but yet staying out of danger to prevent any losses that could harm the pack in any way or form. There were days that predators have came into the vicinity, but never actually killed a pup or a member, just a way to ward off with brute force of the rest stronger wolves that handled the brute work of the objectives. many of the older members; elderly wolves that weren't very strong against the predators kept an eye on the wandering pups. Despite the fast pace of the youngsters, the formed growls and snarls lead them back with the proper correction of staying put. They were adaptive to this switch of behaviour everyday and every moment they went too far. The children were also very playful, finding ways to keep themselves occupied and digging holes to find something they saw bury themselves or just to dig in general.

Within time, the parents decided on the names and found how the daughters were very active and playful, plus very fast and never out of breath. They narrowed it down as Porsche and Mercedes - the two girls that were always moving and never tired until later on in the day. Then there was their son, a wandering and adventurous pup who was nosey and got into trouble very often, but was also a coward and shy with others of a larger elevation. He would also flinch from surprises or something that startled him, so they named him Skippy. The pack was thrilled to finally understand the names of the children and in which to call them by for the rest of their days growing, learning and bonding.  Another few months have passed and the pups developed their extra layer of fur, and the food they started to eat without the help of their mothers milk to pass on by for their nutrition. They watched as the leaves changed and eventually the region started to get much colder and windier. The trees were blown to and fro from the brisk wind and the billowing clouds above that moved quite fast. Mercedes and Porsche were always watching the surroundings and the clouds, even at night the two would stargaze and see the shimmering stars above, as they twinkle before they slept. The next morning was another new day and that's when they experienced something anew. There were white particles scattering the surroundings, unable to see the falling snow so suddenly and concentrated on the foreground, they felt something dampen their foreheads and whilst looking up felt the glimpse of a frozen ice that soon was liquid and cascaded down the faces of the pups. Cindy and Cody escorted them out one-by-one and trekked across the ground with ease, as the snow wasn't fully laid out like a blanket just yet along the ground and the greens were still shown but more solid in state.
