"I'm probably not the best to ask about these sorts of things since I've only ever had one pup, but from what I remember from growing up, the answer to that question is yes. Pups tend to operate on bursts of energy for quite a long while, and they also sleep for a long time."

"How different was I compared to what you were expecting?"
I asked that partially because I was curious to see if she had noticed that I wasn't the 'Kat' she had actually given birth to, but all that did was make Mother chuckle quietly as she squeezed my hand and looked up towards the darkening sky.
