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 Bogo; Life, Career and Family Reprised!


 Bogo: Ugh, I've already told you that I'm not comfortable disclosing that information publically. Not only am I a very private mammal, and I respect my family's privacy, but putting their information out there would put them and their safety at risk.


Nick: For real? Don't you think that's a bit...excuse me for saying so Chief, overdramatic?


Bogo: You don't spend twenty-five years on the force, ten of which were spent acting as its Chief Officer without making a few enemies. Murderers, mafiosos, just plain maniacs, I've put away quite a few of them in my time, or at the very least acted as a constant thorn in their side. For any of them to catch a whiff of the names of those closest to me...well it would be like a drop of blood in a shark tank.


Nick: Oh, well...I guess I can't really argue against that logic...

Judy: But surely there's some little tidbit you can leave us with? Something vague enough, or non-incriminating enough to avoid aiding some maligned revenger plot against you?


Bogo: *Snorts* Alright...alright fine...but this is all you're getting from me. *Grumbles* I am mated, my mate is female, and we adopted several calves together.


Nick: Several big? Or more like...a couple of?


Bogo: I'm keeping it at 'several' to remain vague.


Nick: Okay.


Bogo: Hmm *Scratches chin thoughtfully* Oh, alright this is probably safe. Officer Clawhauser and myself have known each other since high school. We also went to the academy together, and essentially plotted ahead to work as partners, much as Hopps did with you Wilde.


Judy: Wow...you knew Clawhauser that long?


Bogo: Awkward outcasts attract. *Chuckles* Well...I was the awkward one...Clawhauser was the more social of our little pair. The issue being his far too hyper to the point where he drove off most other mammals. Luckily for him, I didn't talk much...so he got to do most of the talking for me. *Chuckles* That kind of personality gave him a great bedside manner on the beat when it came to consoling victims, cheering up calves, that sort of thing.


Nick: Seems like Benji's bread and butter...or rather, his croissant, cream cheese and lox. *Laughs*


Judy: But now you've got me curious, just why did Clawhauser switch to lobby work?


Bogo: Again, that's not my story to tell. It's his. But if you do broach the subject, please tread carefully. *Glares at Nick* That means no one-liners from the peanut gallery. 


Nick: Oh C'mon Chief, I would never! *Flashes Bogo a wide, cheesy smirk* Would this fox ever lie to you?


Bogo: *Huffs* Constantly...and then he lies about lying...thankfully Hopps is here to keep you honest...well as honest as a mammal like you can be. She may be pretty good at keeping you in line...but she's not a superhero...despite trying to play the part.


Nick: Ouch! Be honest Cheif, it's the fox thing, right?


Bogo: I am being serious here Wilde! It's a...delicate emotional subject for Clawhauser...and it has all the right to be. A mammal as sensitive as he is...*sigh*, let's just say that day was the first time I actually saw the value of being as socially detached as I was...but for benjamin, his greatest strength became his greatest weakness...


Judy: Sweet Cheese and Crackers...

WT: Hey, sorry for basically pulling a re-answer here. I've had some of these asks sitting here for a bit and I forgot when I answered the first Bogo Question, there was another in a similar vein. Anyway, thanks for the ask!
