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 the Ladies; Cutest Mate Traits

 

Dawn: My Goodness...I'm going to have to reach out to a lot of family and friends for this ask. I actually feel a bit bad about it. As for me...well, there's so many things I find adorable about Vernon, and I find even more things almost daily. That said, it makes it really hard to pick just one thing he does I find to be unbearable cute...*Giggles* But if I had to pick just one....well...hmm...I think the way his tail often betrays his true feelings is pretty adorable.

Malcolm: *Laughs* I wouldn't say that's unique to Vernon. I mean, that's a canine trait in general, but with the Hunter Pack, it seems to come through really strong across the board.

Dawn: *Giggles* To explain for those out there who aren't all that familiar with canines, what I mean in this case is when Vernon's tail starts wagging even if he doesn't want it to. Like he's trying to hide that he's excited, or if he's trying to downplay how much he 'loves' it when I scratch his neck fluff or behind his ears. *Snickering* Despite his best efforts, his tail wagging is a dead give away every time that he doesn't mean what he says. *Giggles* my absolute favorite is when he's trying to appear stern or stoic, to stand his ground on something. But when I start trying to convince him otherwise, and get all soft and sweet with him, his tail is the first thing to falter.

Malcolm: My favorite thing Xavey does is when he just starts prattlin' on and on in legal speak without realizin' nobody understands. *Chuckles* He gets so excited, and then immediately he get's all embarrassed after he realizes what he's doin'. Granted I'm the only mammal who's too bust thinkin' it's adorable that it don't put me to sleep. *laughs*

Ada: Mookie is...a hard nut to crack. *Laughs* Yous know how's he'd never, evas want to be seen as cute or adorable. It only makes him madder. Of coarse, I'm da only one who finds him getting' flustered and upset adorable. *Cackles* Da more he tries and fails to be intimidatin' or actin' tough, da cuter it is!

Val: I don't do...cute. That's not my style.

Dawn: Well I wasn't asking if you did anything cute...although I'm sure Kodi has a laundry list of things he finds cute about you...*Mumbles* Not that any of them would make sense to sane mammal.

Val: Well I don't find anything he does 'adorable'. He's just a dork, so you and him have that in common.

Dawn: The act was already worn out back when Vernon first introduced us, it only gets more tired each day you keep it up. Come on now, we're sisters now...technically...There's gotta be something your willing to spill.

Val: Oh now when you're desperate to fill your whole 'podcast' quota I'm your sister? Convenient. I guess I shou-.

Ellie: She's brought up a few times how Kodi kind of...nibbles on her ears when they are cuddled up.

Val: ELLIE! WHAT THE HELL MAM'!?

Ellie: Eep...

Val: I told you it was annoying not cute!

Ellie: Y-you did say that...but your tone...

Val: I had no tone!

Ellie: And you brought it up so often...

Val: Cause it's annoying!

Dawn: Looks like we have another one for 'Things Kodi will find adorable about Val' list...

Val: Oh rut me you fuzzy little fascist...

Qali: Sometimes...when Trenny's asleep and he's snuggled up to me...he'll start licking me...*Giggles*

Ada: Wait, lickin' yous like how? *Cackles* Was we allowed to get x-rated wit dis one? Cause if so's I wanna change my answer.

Qali: No! no...it's not a rutting thing...*Giggles* It's like...okay, so he'll be sleeping, maybe his chin will be nestled up on top of my head, right? And his tongue will kind of pop out a bit, and he'll just sort of...lick at my fur without realizing. *Giggling*

Giselle: Wait? Like he's um...what do they call it online? He like...is 'Mleming' you?

Qali: That's it! It's not like full licks, like he's grooming me. It's just this weird little...tic he has. *Giggling*

Melanie: You want to talk about tics? *Laughs* Gussie has no shortage of those. But I do find just how self conscious he is cute...I mean, I do feel bad for him. I know his horn bothers him, and his fainting, and all his other health problems. But I love him anyway...and so it's cute to watch him get flustered when I tell him that after he's been complaining about his insecurities...*Giggle*

Giselle: I don't think Wade specifically has a...neck fetish....

Ada: Debatable...he's datin' a giraffe after all! *Cackling*

Giselle: *Giggles* Oh hush. I just mean when we are sleepin' together, he's end up wrapped around my neck since it makes up the most of me body. But he clings to it so tightly...like for dear life. It's kind of adorable...

Ada: Sounds like he's tryin' to choke you. *Laughs*

Giselle: *Giggling* He couldn't choke me even if he wanted too. Do you know how strong a giraffe's neck muscles are?

Ada: Nope, but I'm sure Wade has given da rest of da Hunta boys a first pawed account.

Giselle: Fresh! *Laughs*

Vanna: Zach's terrible jokes...

Ada: *Cackling*Hard to tell you like dose considerin' how much you roll your eyes at dem!

Dawn: We...all do...*Giggles* Sorry Vanna.

Vanna: It's fine...I realize I'm the...minority here. But I mean...there's something cute about his bad jokes and puns...endearing I guess.

Ada: Sounds like Stalkholm Syndrome to me... *Cackle*

Honey: When Ulric is unexpectedly thoughtful...that's my answer.

Dawn: Ulric can be thoughtful?

Honey: I know it seems like he's all...dedicated paranormal investigator 24-7, but he can be...semi-normal. Sweet even... *Chuckles* Just last week he bought me this really nice computer chair because I mentioned once or twice off paw that my old chair was digging into my back a bit. He didn't offer me a chair, or even mention it. Just showed up with some fancy desk chair with massage stuff built in, after assembling it himself. It's like...is it's weird to say that's how he expresses he cares? Like through weird off the cuff things he does?

Dawn: No that's rather sweet...*Chuckles* Some of the best, and worst things Vernon has done have been off the cuff things...Seems to be another...shared Hunter trait. Thinking with their heart for better or worse...

Audrey: *Giggling* I'd say that's all from my side, but Dori can be a sweetheart too. He's just better at puttin' up a tough front then the rest of the boys are. Y'all know he can be purty stoic and a calm, cold customer. Unlike Vern though, that ol' wolf has mastered control of his tail, so their ain't no dead giveaways there...unless I'm the one plyin' at him. *Giggles* That's where I have my fun, meltin' down them defenses of his. When he's grumpy, and don't wanna talk, I'll snuggle up close and start plantin' lil' kisses on him. And I'll know it's workin' when he starts lettin' out them soft, adorable lil' whines while I'm doin' it. *Giggles*

Ada: Ooh...dat's good. I wonda's if dat would woik on Yuri?

Judy: It's very rare...as Nick has always been quick on his feet in terms of keeping up with a snide conversation, but every so often I can get him flustered enough to slip up. *Laughs* Like I'll catch him off guard enough that'll he'll try to fire off a comeback before thinking it through, and it comes out incomplete gibberish...

Dawn: I can't picture Nick doing that...the way you two...I mean the conversations you have...I can't keep track most of the time I'm around you.

Judy: I was like that too...I had to get better at it by virtue of just being around Nick and that silver tongue of his. But watching him botch a comeback, and then get immediately flustered over it is probably the most adorable thing he does. It's one of those rare moments where his usually confident demeanor falters, and gives you a look at the real Nick hiding underneath.

Bonnie: This is gonna sound a lil' mean...but...Stu's Naivete can be as adorable as it is frustratin'. He can be so weirdly innocent about the strangest things, and completely oblivious to others...

Judy: Like how you were able to pick up on how I felt about Nick, but Dad had to be told?

Bonnie: Exactly...*Chuckles* I can't tell you how many times that's happened with your brothers and sisters and their mates. Oh gods, and the first time one of yer sister's came out as a lesbian...goodness...he thought her and her long time partner were just 'real close friends' fer the longest time. Not that her sexuality was an issue of course, Stu just...he couldn't pick up on it at all until it was spelled out for him.

Mrs. Wilde: Nick's father was very much like Nick in the way he...tried to put up a front. John was very suave, or at least tried to be. Always a gentlemam, always trying to be sophisticated when it came to 'wooing' me. But what won me over was every time he 'flubbed' his attempts, revealing the actual dorky fox hiding underneath his 'suave' persona. *chuckles* He was such a sweetie...

Colleen: The way my Dear Dommy gets so excited about history. Honestly, I've...never been a massive history buff meself, but, his zest for historical stuff is adorable. I could listen to him go on for hours about ancient history, and while I may not reatin a portion of it', I never get tired of seein' that smile of his.

Clover: Cameron talks to himself...*Giggles* A lot...

Val: That sounds like my Dad. He likes to call it 'thinking out loud.'

Clover: He hates that he does it, especially when he's caught doing it. Of course, that just makes it more adorable to me.

Sharla: I feel bad saying this...I think Giddy's chunkiness, and his self-consciousness surrounding it is the cutest thing. *Giggles* First off, let me say I've always liked my males on the hefty side, so Gid's weight has never bothered me. But the way he frets over it...it's really cute.
