"Mornin', Short Stuff." Aika froze. The young coyote's ears bolted upright, then slowly flattened back. "Don't call me that, Arrd!" She hated it when her older brother teased her about her height. "But you _are_ short, aren't you?" Aika whirled...
Don't Tease Girls
"Why are you in your swim suit?" The young lioness scrunched her muzzle at her older brother as she wandered into the living room. "Why are you in Sarah's pajamas?" Max snickered to himself, folding his ears back. Her brother was plopped on the...
The Sleepover: Achievement Unlocked
Melissa leaned over the bathtub, turning on the hot water. She pushed down the stopper, and a steady stream of still-cold water poured from the adjustable nuzzle. Chilly spray danced across the vixen’s face, striking her nose. She yelped and stumbled...
Oasis Explorations
"Teek! Teek, you out here?" As her friend's voice echoed across the sand, Teek sat up on her purple dyed blanket. Her fur was still damp. She wriggled around, swiveling her large ears in an attempt to pinpoint the source of the sound. The way the...
Penalty on the Field

It was Sunday night, and Amanda had already showered and changed into her pajamas. Both her pants and shirt were baggy, just the way the chubby coyote girl liked them. Her pants were dark and checkered, while her shirt bore a golden triangle, and...
A Thanksgiving Embarrassment
Melissa checked her phone's camera to make sure it was recording, then set it in a hidden place on the counter, aimed at the fridge. The red-furred vixen backed away, smiling into the camera. She glanced around to make sure she was alone, swiveling...
To Sieze Control
\*\*\*\*\* To Seize Control \*\*\*\*\* “Damn it, Max!” Sally stomped her barefoot against the living room floor. “I thought I told you to take my ornaments down while I ate lunch!” The little lioness glanced up at the family Christmas tree....

"Sally, have you seen the PS5 controller?" "Maybe." The young lioness was seated comfortably on the couch, watching TV. Or at least she had been, until her older brother Max decided to stand in front of her, blocking her view. Sally glanced up at him,...
The Crush
Alex scavenged through his messy locker, searching for a snack. It wasn't yet lunch time, but the scrawny young coyote's stomach rumbled, impatient. He needed a snack before gym class. The coyote pinned his tan furred ears back, tossing aside some old...
Putting On a Show
“So, we’re gonna record each other, or what?” “Something like that.” Rebecca sat on her bed, scrolling through video clips on one of her favorite websites. “We should probably do an intro, first. A lot of these have intros.” “What kinda...
The Perils of Oversleeping
Aika sat at the dining table, hunched over a sketchpad late in the morning. The house was empty save for the young coyote and her still slumbering older brother. Unlike her sibling Arrd, Aika had been awake for hours. She’d long since bathed, brushed...
