Dixie smiled and gave each one a lick on the head. As Minty ran around in circles, she crooned, "Ah, ah, ah..." and snatched her up. Rasping her moist pink tongue over the pup's fur, she expected Mystery to keep an eye on the other three. Turning Minty loose, she snatched Raven up. The little black pup wailed and protested, her little legs scrabbling against her mother's paws. Finally, her bath was ended and she scrambled away from her mother. Jade was done next and Dixie stood up.
"Well, do you want to go now, Mystery?" Dixie asked.
"I think they've waited long enough," Mystery replied, looking down at the three pups. Mint was practically exploding with excitement, her green eyes wide as she hopped up and down. "Let's go."
"Yaaay!" yipped Mint, making a run for the door, though she slowed down as she remembered that she needed to stay with her parents. Mystery trotted past her and outside, watching as she came flying out behind him. With Minty running figure-eights around his paws, he looked back and waited for the other three to follow.
