Ekath

elying on smell won't always help you find your way, and Ekath listened to Nisippe's lecture about using the position of the sun and the moon when scouting. Ekath couldn't wait to test her skills.

Ekath felt that she was almost ready to try a real hunt and begged Etheri to let her. He listened and explained that no matter how talented a pup may be, everyone had to train until they were old enough to move on.

Etheri taught the class about wind direction and scents that can reveal your position if the threat is downwind. Turns out Ekath is the best at hiding if she just rolls in the dirt first!

Tinaer showed Ekath that every time they take a herb from nature, they must put a small piece of it back into the earth. This is so the herb can sprout again and 'continue to provide what the pack needs.

Rilael built a small obstacle course. Ekath was required to remain undetected and surprise a packmate resting at the end.

Ekath tried to mix her first medicine. Nisippe made sure that it would be harmless even in the case of a huge mistake, but Ekath did really well without any help.

The lesson today focused on relaying information accurately among pack members. Ekath sat with several other pups as they whispered the same sentence around the circle and tried to keep it the same, but when it came back to Anasch it was hilariously different than when it started.
