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.

Found AU Ask; Zach's Helicopter Parenting

 

Dorian: Everyone's takes to bein' a parent differently...it's really somethin' ya gotta learn on yer own...That said, Zach's behavior don't exactly surprise me...Auddey was kinda similar with the boys when they was growin' up...

Audrey: So!? A Momma has to look out fer her pups!

Dorian: There are limit's Darlin'...ya gotta give yer pups enough leash to learn through experience...ya gotta let 'em scrape their knees from time to time...to get their hearts broken...

Audrey: *Huffs* I know...I-It's just hard sometimes...is all...Ya don't want to think of yer pups growin' up...

Vernon: To be fair...I don't think Ma was ever as bad as Zach is...

Zach: Oh c'mon now! Ma wouldn't even let us drive the family truck without her in the passenger seat till we was eighteen!

Yuri: Ma didn't try to paw cuff us to keep us from goin' on a vacation with his aunts and uncles supervisin' though. 

Trenton: And the curfews stopped when we were fourteen...and weren't as early as seven PM...

Zach: He's a growin' pup! He needs his rest!

Vanna: *Sighs and Rolls her eyes*

Dawn: *Giggles* I also don't remember hearing about Audrey wrapping any of you in bubble wrap while learning to ride your bikes without training wheels...

Yuri: Though she always had a meltdown when she caught me doing stunts on my dirtbike...*Snickers*

Audrey: Sweet Sawgrass Yuri! You built a ramp outta junk from the barn to try to jump onto the barn roof! O'course I was gonna stop ya from doin' that! You coulda kilt yerself!

Yuri: Bah! I could have been a neighborhood legend...

Trenton: Yeah, the wolf who snapped his neck trying to jump a barn with a dirtbike...truly legendary...

Vanna: To be fair...Zach has been doing a bit better in terms of his...helicopter parenting. We've...been really working on it together...

Yuri: So does that mean y'all don't have to do anymore cuff and tackles on him?

Vanna: *Winces* Well...eh...we're down to once a week tops...

Group: *Laughs*

Zach: *Whines* I just wanna look out fer my son!

Vernon: Lookin' out fer, and keepin' him in a lock box er' two different thangs...at a certain point it's abuse...

Zach: *Whines louder*

Vanna: In regards to your other question...we've been...working together to properly prepare Zach for the talk.

Ada: Honestly, he's should just lets youse do it...

Zach: No, it has to be me...*sighs* I'm his Pa, and it's my job...It'll be my Kitten's turn when Ro-Rose...*Eyes widen slightly*

Vernon: *Rolls eyes* Lemme guess, y'all just realized Rose is gonna eventually grow up too?

Zach: *Eyes now watering* YEEEEES! *Whines*

Ada: Oh yeah, it's lookin' real good for him keepin' his composure togeddah while tryin' to talk to Marcus about da boids and bees.

Dorian: The talk is a lot to handle fer a first time father...but as rough as it is, I do have to agree that talk should come from Marcus' Pa. It just...it helps to hear that sorta thang from yer Pa over yer Ma...

Vernon: It's certainly less awkward...although in Zach's case, I'm not entirely sure.

Zach: I can do it damn it! I can! Alright...*huffs* I-It's...*sniffle* Just wait until y'all have to have the talk... then you'll know how it feels...

Yuri: At least we'll all have you as a yardstick going into it to teach us how 'not to' do it...that's fer sure... *snickers*
