## Story

It was a snowy morning in Adventure Bay. Everyone was cuddled up in blankets to keep warm, unaware of the white blanket that covered the whole town.

Autumn was the first one awake. She rambled around, blinking the sleep outta her eyes. She noticed her friend Sierra awake with a yawn. She slowly crept up to the mixed-breed. “Sierra?” She whispered. “EEK! Oh, it’s just you Autumn.” The brown pup shook her fur and padded up to greet Autumn.

“We the only ones awake?” Murmured Sierra. “Yeah, but Birch looks like he’s getting up. So is Clarity, Cody, and the Twins.” Replied Autumn, pointing towards the awakening pups. The only two asleep were Milo and Bailey. Bailey snored and a mischievous idea popped into her head. She beckoned the awakening pups over and whispered something to the group.

Bailey just strained his eyes open to see seven pairs of eyes very near his face. He shrieked and leaped backwards. The pups exploded into laughter. They tried to contain their laughs, but when they saw Bailey trying to muster up a normal face, they got set off again.

January opened the door moments later and raised her eyebrows. “We heard a shriek, a thud, and thunderous laughter. Explain.” Autumn looked nervously at her mother. “W-well, I just wanted to have a little joke so we all woke Bailey up by putting our faces close to his... no harm done really...” she replied sheepishly. “And he jumped like, seven feet back! And he scweamed!” Chirped Birch. He then earned a glare from Autumn.

January lightly helped the poor pup up and ushered everyone to breakfast, leaving Milo to get used to the morning. “AHHH! What happened to Adventure Bay!” Clarity shrieked once they stepped outside their room. Rocky chuckled and ruffled his daughter’s fur tuft. “That’s snow Clar. It’s something that only comes at winter. It’s kinda like rain.” “Can we go outside and see it? Pleaaaase?” Begged Willow, tugging on her dad’s tail. “Is that okay with you January?” Rocky said, looking up at the husky mix. “Yes, that’s okay. So long as they don’t stay out for too long.” She replied softly, giving Birch a soft lick on the head then nudging him towards Rocky.

All the pups jumped into the snow as soon as they reached it. They were hit by an unexpected coldness. “Brrr! It’s so cold!” Yelped Eco. But beside him, Autumn was happily rolling in the white powder. “It’s a little bit cold, but I love it!” She barked, shaking snow out of her pelt and flicking some on the gray mixed breed. “Hey!” He yelped, packing up a ball and throwing it at the shepsky. The small trot in the snow had turned into a full-on snowball fight. Rocky chuckled and brought the pups inside. By the time they entered the T.V room, they were dripping with melted snow.

“Ew, you guys smell like, wet dog!” Said Leia, scrunching up her nose when the pups passed. “That’s cause they are furbrain.” Milo growled. “Hey! Be nice!” Retorted Cody. Leia shook her head and moved away to sit next to her mother. January got all the pups towels, but before she could stuff Birch in one  he leaped onto Chase and gave him a wet hug. “Ah! Now I smell like wet dog!” Barked Chase. Birch giggled and his mother pulled him off and slid next to his brother. They heard a stomach growl loudly. They all turned to see Bailey pressing a paw against his stomach. “Sorry! I missed breakfast.” So the pups ate eggs and bacon while they dried off.

“Eugh! You guys still smell!” Leia growled once they had fully dried off. “Can we go back into the snow then?” Birch asked. “Only if you take a bath after.” January said sternly. Birch whined but didn’t protest. The parents went outside to happily watch the pups play. Even Milo had ventured out into the, unsnown (bad pun, I know). Leia didn’t mind getting her fur snowy, so long as she took a bath strait after so the smell didn’t cling to her. “Okay pups! Time to come in!” Called Chase. “Aw... okay Dad!” Cody said in reply. “We’re just gonna shake the snow outta our fuw!” Birch called from his spot behind his snow wall. The parents padded inside and up the elevator. When they got inside, they saw Ryder looking worriedly at the T.V. “What’s up Ryder sir?” Chase yapped. “There’s a huge snowstorm above us. Better pack up some supplies.”

It had been one hour since the adult pups had started gathering supplies, image they got stormed in. “Best call the pups up.” Rocky said. Chase went down stairs, but came up with a panic stricken look. January tilted her head at her mate’s gaze. Chase shook his head and a whine escaped him. “It’s the pups; they’re gone.”

The wind had gotten stronger by the time the pups reached the Pup Park. “Guys, I don’t think this wind nowmal...” Birch barked over the winds. “Birch is right! I feel a snowstorm coming on!” Autumn yelled. The pups gave terrified yelps and howls, but no one could hear them. They retreated into the slide, and huddled together for warmth. “I-it‘ll be alright!” Cody whimpered as reassuringly as he could. “We could be stuck here for days guys! We don’t know when this storm is gonna end!” Whimpered Sierra. “Cody! You wemember when Dad took you on a touw of Adventuwe Bay once?” Birch barked. Cody nodded his head. “What’s the cwosest place to the pawk?” Cody tapped his paw against his chin for a moment. “The Pet Parlor! It’s only across the street!” He barked. The puppies shuffled out of the slide, and bounded across the street.

January paced around the T.V room. “My pups! My poor sweet lost pups!” She howled in distress. Chase walked up to her and she sobbed into his shoulder. Appalachia buried her face in her paws and Rocky wore a look of worry and distress. “We should at least try to make out their paw prints to get on the right trail.” Chase murmured, nuzzling his mate, who’s sobs had turned to soft whines and whimpers. The four parents bounded down the stairs, I’m search for some clues

“Agh. Locked.” Cody growled, giving the door one more shake before sitting down with a sigh. “H-how about the window?” Willow squeaked, shivering with cold. The pups piled some boxes in top of a trash can and Clarity, the smallest, just managed to scrabble through the window. Birch went, then Willow, then Leia, then on and on. Once the pups finally got inside, Leia turned in the hot water to get the pups warm. The hot water wasn’t as steaming as usual, but it did a fair amount of work. She quickly turned on the rest and soon the pups piled into the baths. The only one remaining was Birch. He had curled up into a ball next to Autumn’s bath, his frank pressed against it to keep warm. “You should get in bro, there’s one more bath.” His sister said with concern. Birch shook his head. “Your gonna freeze!” Cody barked. “I-I’m fine g-guys.” He said, and when he smiled they saw his teeth chatter. “Okay, okay fine.” He grumbled. He stood on top of the bath, took a deep breath, then cannon-balled in. He was overrun with warmth. He enjoyed it except for the fact that he was wet.

The adults had tracked their lost pups all the way to the park. “Where would they go where would they go!” January mumbled, pacing around the park. “Hey! The Parlor’s across the street! Maybe they went there!” Appalachia burst out. January wagged her tail with delight and followed the poodle across the street. “It’s locked!” Whimpered January. Ryder pulled a key out of his pocket. “Katie left me a spare key for the pups bath’s.” January moved out of the way and Ryder fumbled with the lock until they heard a click. January burst through the door to not just find it warm, but to find all seven puppies happily lazing in bathtubs. “MOM! DAD!” Screamed Birch. He leaped out of the tub, followed by the rest, and gave his parents a wet hug. “Oh my precious pups! Thank goodness your okay!” January howled joyously.

“Mama! We’re fine! Honestly!” Birch squeaked. He had been bombarded by licks and injury checks from his mother when they got back. “Are you sure!?” She barked nervously. “Yeah! I’m fi- A-A-ACHOO!” The small pup sneezed. “Well he isn-ACHOO!” Sierra had sneezed too. “Oh great we all caught colds.” Milo remarked sarcastically. “We’re just glad your okay.” Appalachia said, licking her son on the head.

The pups may have colds, but they were okay. The parents were relieved, and they knew they had to keep a better eye on their pups. They watched their pups huddled up together. January went to close the doors so snow wouldn’t get in. A small snowflake landed on her nose as she gazed outside. She chuckled softly, closing the door with one last glance at snowy Adventure Bay.
