Murky foreboding pond water tastes scummy to tongue of mother wolf.
She takes a few laps of the water anyway. Rubbing her head on her wolf pup affectionately; they were hunters by birth and perpetuated tradition. As a faithful monogamous part of the pack, she admired her lover throughout the day with a calm demeanor.
This mother wolf was nearly eighty pounds of balanced ferociousness and maternal instincts. Only forty-one teeth remained, as one had been lost in an especially rough battle with a bison. Her spine-tingling howl was a reminder that the Alaskan life was not for the overly warmhearted or feeble.
Covered in a royal robe of survival, it suited her best. She wore respect like a crown and that was all she deeply craved!
