It had taken quite awhile for Lady to feel safe enough to venture out into the world again. Of course, she'd gone through the motions and done what was asked of her, but her first instinct was to sulk and hide in her shame and let her fear consume her and hold her like a blanket. This world had seemed so beautiful before she'd entered the arena. Now everything seemed dark and overwhelming again.

But she was alive again, even if she wasn't able to understand the methods or reasons behind her resurrection. And while she wasn't in her right body yet, she was able to move and contemplate things. So once she felt up to it, she dressed herself properly and ventured out into the world, looking for birds to chase. Or squirrels. She always liked squirrels.

Since it was the first rule, it must be the most important of all. Lady made a special point of remembering this as she pulled herself up by one more branch. She dangled briefly, kicking her feet until she summoned the strength to complete that portion of the climb. "This is a lot harder than it looks."

"You should be using your feet more." Pruna told her crouching on a branch. "You do be having stronger legs than arms, so you should be pushing with your feet, and using your hands to balance."

sorry this is late!!

Pushing with them? That made a great deal of sense, and once put into practice it proved to be quite effective. Her legs were quite strong, much more so than Lady had realized. Before she knew it, she was climbing up more easily than ever, a smile of triumph washing over her.

No worries <3

Pruna grinned at her. "You do be doing great!" She was very proud of her teaching ability, even if this was the first time she'd ever taught anyone anything.

Lady was practically beaming, she was so very pleased by the results of her hard fought efforts. Who would have ever thought that a cocker spaniel could excel at tree climbing?

"I'm doing it! Oh, if only Darling could see! She'd be so proud of me!"

She wasn't actually certain that Darling would be proud, but Lady liked to think that her mistress would. It might not be very becoming to be up in a tree, dirtying herself, especially in her human form, but it was quite enjoyable, and Lady couldn't think of any other dogs that could do it as well as she had.

"Who do Darling be being?" She asked as she scrambled up onto another branch keeping an eye on her student.
