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!

Ask Auddey and Dorian; The Hunter Pups Meet Santa Claws

 


Ask Vernon; Joel's Logan Maul Energy


 

Joel: You called in the middle of the night for this? You're still getting these?

Vernon: Well, to be honest it was an old one. But regardless, y'all know you and Megumi were awake anyway. Y'all tend to keep nocturnal hours.

Joel: *Sigh* I appreciate the concern, even if it's back-hooved, but come on, Logan Maul Energy? I may have looked a little touristy when I first showed up, but I wasn't walking around in a cartoon hat throwing fish at mammals!

Vernon: What about that...er...statue incident?

Joel: I paid the fine! It was a once in a life time chance to ride on a Gunbunn's shoulders! At least I didn't go poking around in the suicide forest purposely looking for a dead person to get ratings! And I'll add, unlike somebody else's relative, I didn't cause an international incident that got my family banned in two countries at once!

Vernon: HEY! Y'all know Ulric ain't...er....right...And sides', me and Dawn managed to appeal the Norwulff ban...

Ask the Guys; No Nut November

 

Vernon: I guess we're a little late on this one. Granted I don't think any of us have given' that a try. I mean in regards to my brothers anyway. I dunno about maybe...Gus, er' Broomie?

Gus: Yeah, Mellie made sure that was completely impossible. If I even wanted to try it, she'd go out of her way to foil it.

Broomie: Wait, what? Like how?

Gus: I mean, I don't do it. Like I've never done No Nut, but if I ever told Mellie “I think I'm gonna go all Novemeber without rutting”, she would absolutely find a way to make me break that personal bet. It'd be like a challenge for her, and you know how she loves challenges.

Joel: I used to do No Nut November.

Gus: You can't count the years you didn't have a mate, that's just rutting celibacy.

Joel: Uh, hello, I still took care of myself. Geeze, it's like you guys think you can only get off with the help of a Dam. But I mean, taking a month off isn't hard.

Broomie: Considering the games you play, I find that hard to believe dude.

Joel: *Snort* I play other games. It's not strictly Animalme Hentail games.

Vernon: OH wait, Ully might have done No Nut November too...granted I think he purty much did 'No Nut Never' fer the majority of his life...at least till Honey came along.

Gus: *Chuckles* Now there's a daunting and pointless challenge, bedding you mess of a brother.

Found AU; Dorian on Mr. Dice

 

Dorian: Y'all want my honest opinion? I don't like the mammal. Every time I'm even near him my Hunter's intuition starts screamin' at me like there's a five alarm fire brewin' up around me. I can tell he's up to somethin' bad, but fer the life of me I haven't been able to pin the mammal down fer anythin' I've been suspectin' him of. And, as a mammal of the law...I do things by the book, regardless of my...personal feelin's. So until I can get real, hard evidence on the guy, I'm just gonna have to keep as far away from him as possible. And that goes fer my family too...and any mammal I feel might be the kind he'd prey upon. Maybe that last bit y'all could argue is oversteppin' considerin' what I just said, but...I know these folks in the Meadowlands. They're good folks, and I swore an oath to look out fer 'em all. And even if I can't see the full scale of whatever operation he's got goin' on, I owe it to my neighbors to give 'em a heads up.

The way he smiles....*Shudders* It's like...It's a mask...and iffin' y'all look close enough, you can just barely make out all the sins tryin' to crawl out from behind it. Leakin' through the seams. A man hiden' that kinda darkness in him always sees his sins come to bare, one way or another. Mammal's that live like that...well...things don't end well for 'em. Just ask ol' Aster Bellwether...

Ask Gideon; Popular Yule Baked Goods


 

Gideon: might seem kinda straight forward, but our most popular item durin' the whole Yule season would be the classic 'Yule Log'. That's generally a chocolate cake with a sweet cream cheese sorta fillin' and different type o' gnash' on top. O'course we do other flavors, but I mean, most mammals don't celebrate Yule without a classic Yule Log.

Sharla: Coming up second is our peppermint chocolate forest cake. It's your classic dark forest cake with sort of a peppermint bark twist. It's proven very popular around Yule, and a lot of mammals tend to get it as a secondary cake for big family gatherings.

Gideon: Well It'd probably be awkward if everyone in the family brought the exact same Yule log to the get together.

Sharla: After that it's some of the traditional holiday staples, like chocolate chip and sugar cookies.

Gideon: And o'course classic Peppermint Bark. Granted that's barely a baked good. Aside from my 'special' ingredients, y'all just melt white and milk chocolate, miz the white chocolate with peppermint bits, and layer the chocolate together.

Sharla: Simple, but tasty.

Gideon: My lil' Black Forest Cake here is a big fan o' peppermint. She was kinda the inspiration fer the peppermint chocolate forest cake. She suggested it, and it really took off.

Sharla: I wish I was still a big a fan of the idea as I was before we started making it officially. By now I've had so much Peppermint and chocolate my tongue is probably red and white striped. *Giggles*


Ask Audrey: Snarllör Pack

 

  

Audrey: Well, that's cause the last few years my Ma and Pa have been spendin' their retirement years travelin' around Animalia in an ol' RV. It was somethin' my Pa always wanted to do before he kicked the bucket, and my Ma well, she never could say no to my Pa's crazy adventure plans.

Dorian: I imagine she's mostly along for the ride to patch him up then? *Chuckles*

Audrey: Last I talked with 'em on the phone they were up in Nun-a-Vulp trackin' down our roots on the native side of our family.

Dorian: Ain't that mostly arctic mammals there?

Audrey: We got arctic blood in our families veins iffin' y'all go back far enough.

Dorian: That'd explain why Trenny's such a snow dog.

Audrey: As fer the family Ranch in Alpine Glade, my...er brother is currently livin' there. And well, me and Garret never exactly got along very well. Y'all could say we well....we got along a lot like Yuri and Vern used to growin' up.

Dorian: Doesn't help the fella kinda leans more into native wolf beliefs than the rest of the Snarllör pack.

Audrey: Aw now he ain't that bad. He ain't Callin' other wolves Beta's and Omega's and the like.

Dorian: I thought y'all didn't get along! Now yer defendin' him?

Audrey: I'm only gonna call out my kin fer the unforgivable stuff. Like that time he mashes a mudcake into my hair when we was pups!

Dorian: Unbelievable...

Audrey: There were worms in it Dori! WORMS!
