Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask Dawn And Vern; Smoking

 


Dawn: Vernon and I are at...a bit of an impasse when it comes to that particular 'what if'. While I'm not sure exactly what kind of... I don't like to use the word punishment...'scolding' maybe? Definitely a stern talking too. But honestly, I'm not entirely sure what would be the best approach to instill in our pups that it's a dangerous and dirty habit. But Vernon...well...

Vernon: Alright, hear me out. I think if we catch any of the pups smokin', we make 'em smoke a full pack.

Dawn: Vernon no! That's terribly irresponsible, and it's unsafe!

Vernon: It's how my Pa handled it! He caught Yuri tryin' to puff up a storm behind the barn and made him smoke a whole pack full o' Paw Mauls.

Dawn: Puppy...

Vernon: What? It worked? Granted Yuri threw up a few times, but he hasn't smoked since! And that's sayin' somethin'! You know what a difficult pup he was!

Dawn: Puppy, that's cruel and unusual, even if this is Yuri we're talking about! Do you really want to put your lambs through something like that? To make them throw up? And who knows what kind of damage that would do to their lungs!

Vernon:*Wincing* Well....er....now that y'all frame it like that...

Dawn: How else am I supposed to frame it? I...*sigh* I'm sorry if I sound like I'm overreacting...It's just...I mean you know what my father was like...

Vernon: I k-know Honey Lamb...I guess I didn't see it that way...I mean...I guess it seemed harmless growin' up...maybe more so cause it weren't happenin' to me.

Dawn: Well...I mean...It isn't on par with what my father did...I just...I don't want to risk traumatizing our lambs. They already have enough on their plate as it is coming from a mixed family, the last thing they need is to be hashing out 'the time their parents made them smoke a whole carton of cigarettes' to their therapist someday.

Vernon: Well, we can ask around fer ideas on how to handle it. Maybe get some feedback from our friends, er' yer mom, or therapist...and then we can just...pray we never have to cross that bridge...

Dawn: I've already got my hooves crossed.
