Interesting. A quick glimpse of Tempest's life. Clever how you tied the young wolf needing your care to feed on milk as a pup with her growing into the provider of milk later on in life.
Congratulations with winning.

A wonderful, sweet story of Tempest and her pups. The picture you chose was shrinking and probably a close resemblance to her. Animals are usually very devoted to their offspring guarding and caring for them. Humans can learn from such examples.

My one critique: Use paragraph breaks more. This makes it easier in the eye and will give you the higher ratings you deserve. Two or three in this short text would be fine.

All my best,
Sally

Is that a photo of Tempest? Beautiful animal. And really beautiful character, too. I loved reading this poem. It's the first 6 stars I've given. I wish I had met Tempest.

    I thank you so much for the stars and the review. I am truly humbled that this piece would receive your first six star rating. I sometimes refer to her as my sheep in wolf clothing, as she had such a sweet and gentle nature.

What a great story! Thank you for selecting my photograph to accompany it. Your opening line was enticing and held my interest to continue reading. Your story telling made it easy to visualize the events. The ending is so bittersweet!

I touching tale. I wish you had more than 300 words to work with, as I think this is a longer story. Hard to cover an entire life in so few words.

Best of luck.

Peace, Lee

Sometime later, while raising her first litter, my Shar Pei, Wrinkles, also whelped her first.--For clarity sake, I think I might replace the pronoun 'her' with Tempest. Just a thought.
