Awwww, how adorable!  Sandie stopped in her work for a few minutes while Cici was caught up in her play, only tearing her attention away from the cute little kitten when that noise in the distance caught her attention.  It sounded a little familiar, almost canine...  Probably just one of the farm's dogs headed for the house, she decided after a few more minutes.<br/><br/>"Don't worry, Cici, it's alright."  She spoke reassuringly, after a few minutes.  "Just one of the dogs up by the house.  They don't come around here at this time of day."<br/><br/>No, they usually waited until later in the day, when it got hot during the afternoons and they wanted the shade.  Until then, they'd be playing around outside and enjoying the sun.  She never even considered the possibility that it might be some other canine critter on the farm, since that damned wolf almost never came this close to the house, and the fox usually didn't skulk around in the daytime.  As a result, she let her guard down, and the wolf would find the perfect opening for his lusty needs when she bend over a bail of hay not a few feet away from him, catching a few seconds rest with her back turned and her butt sticking out almost invitingly...
