Litter Fool

We woke up today when we heard yipping noises. Mother was also barking. Surprisingly, Mameha was unusually quiet.

Pangga and Inday sniffed in the air. Bunso sniffed long and hard on the ground.

"Smells like us!" Inday concluded

"How could that be? We're here but the scent comes from far away.." Pangga replied, puzzled, "We smell from afar?!"

"It smells like mother." Bunso said

"That's more confusing." Pangga countered, "How could that be? I can smell mother. But I smell mother from afar?"

Mother chuckled. She was clearly enjoying how my siblings are analyzing the scent from afar.

"That's not me. That's Mameha." she said, licking her wet nose.

"How come she smells like you?" Inday asked,

"Because she became a mother just now." Mother replied.

My eyes are barely opened and I try to peep. I see Mameha's hazy image, but with smaller figures with tails on her chest.

"She has puppies too?" I asked mother.

She licked my head. "You're too smart to be my puppy."
