Lesson of life

Its late winter and ice is melting making it harder for animals to cross the rivers with out falling in. shinda carefully walks across the river in the center. She keeps her head low and Dakota and tracks watch. She looks straight in the ice and jumps up on her hind legs and cracks a hole in the water which she learned from her friend paws. She falls in and Dakota and tracks run over there. She soon claws her way out on the ice again with a catfish. She shakes off her fur and walks to the shore. ''nice shinda.'' Dakota says grabbing the fish as she rolls on the snow to keep warm from the water. Tracks trots over to shinda and wags his tail as she jumps to her paws.

She looks at the water for a long time ''who is next?'' she says looking back at them. Back at the tribe angel lays on her side resting. Jax lays next to her she smiles up at him and groans stretching. He lifts his head up quickly ''angel are you ok, are you hungry?'' he says with a worried look. ''no jax I am fine.'' she says getting up hearing the pack from the teepee. She stands half way out of its warm entrance. Shinda wags her tail and lets Dakota and tracks carry the basket full of fish. She licks angels ear jax steps closer to angel kind of guarding her. Shinda steps closer to and sticks her tail high with a little growl. ''check your self jax.'' she says walking to the fish.

''oh hi.'' she says nervously. ''are you ok?'' he asks walking next to her. ''yeah.'' she says shaking her head. Tracks stops walking making angel stop and turn around. She walks closer with his head down sniffing her fur. ''angel.'' he says nervously looking at her. She smiles ''how could you not tell anyone?'' he asks narrowing his eyes. She smiles and pins her ears ''I have to tell shinda.'' he says walking away. ''no not yet tracks!'' she growls and whines at the same time. He turns around and stands still.

Shinda lets the older kids paint marking on her that would soon wash away. She licks their faces as they paint a red circle around her eye The paint is raspberry and flower mix. Shinda licks the bowl making the one kid laugh. ''no shinda!'' he laughs pushing her face away. Tracks sits down and watches. Redwing walks up to shinda and the kids ''here lets put this on shinda.'' he says smiling but he still looked serious. He put a pretty eagle feather that clipped in her fur. She watched his eyes as he put it in her fur. The children smiled at the feather. ''there we go.'' he said leaving with patch feather close behind.
