Ask The BellHunters: Ask; School Hours for Pups

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!

The original Ask Dawn And Vern Tumblr! This blog is a continuation/reboot of the "AskDawnAndVern" tumblr, as I am permanently locked out of the Tumblr at present.

(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; School Hours for Pups

Dawn: That's about right, in terms of hours. Everything before high school is relegated to a roughly five-hour period. With an hour for lunch.

Vernon: In High school, the hours stay the same, but y'all get an added day. So, Monday through Friday, skippin' Wednesday. The added day is largely dedicated to pre-college er' tradin' school classes. Basically, that's the time set aside fer young pups to help 'em figure out what they got an interest in doin' fer a career, and help them get a foothold in that.

Dawn: I'll admit, depending on the family it can be quite stressful to manage your work week around the odd scheduling in terms of hours and days. With Vernon and myself, we're quite blessed that one of us is...well for all intents and purposes, a stay-at-home parent.

Vernon: Dawn gets our Pups up...and me too...*Chuckles* Preps 'em fer school, sees me and the pups off, and is right there waitin' when they get home.

Dawn: While not every parent has that luxury, it's considered the best situation for the healthy development of a lamb, and makes sure they feel loved and connected to their family. And I'm grateful Puppy and I are in a situation where we can do that.

Vernon: O'course it helps that much more I only work in office four days a week. And I'm gonna be whittlin' that down to three soon enough.

Dawn: Oh, are they cutting your hours down?

Vernon: *Chuckles* Naw, there's just less of a need to be in the office these days. The better technology gets, the less time we gotta spend actually chained to a desk.

Dawn: OH wonderful Puppy! The Lambs will be so happy to get even more time with you at home! *Dawn flutters her eyelashes suggestively at the wolf* And so will I for that matter...

Vernon: *Tugs at his collar* Phew...Thank the gods fer the internet!

Wasty: I appreciate the well wishes. Granted this is quite old by well...anyone's standards at this point. I'm currently doing better...certainly getting by at a reasonable pace as of late, though it's been hard to balance all the work on my plate in terms of Asks, Fics, Commissions, Personal Projects, Et Al...As you can tell since I've totally floundered at keeping up that 'weekly' goal. I'll still do my best to try and crank out asks as my side gig, but I'm making a dedicated turn toward putting that energy towards fic writing so I can get on a more reliable schedule with long form stories. We'll see how that plays out I guess with my health...

Thanks for your ask!
