He had expected to feel really hot as a wolf, cause his coat was quite thick, but he was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable that part of the experience was. Avoiding being slapped in the face by the dog's wagging tail, Zeke docked and dodged until suddenly he had a paw on his nose again. Instinctively he licked at it, because how else was he supposed to reply to the gesture? His own paw/hand/thing was about the size of the dog's face.
He was still confused about what the dog was trying to communicate, or was it just spacing out? He peered behind him again, but saw nothing. Was there something dogs could see that wolves couldn't? Or was it listening to something? Focusing intently, Zeke tried to hear all the sounds in their vicinity. It was actually pretty amazing how well he felt he could hear, but there was nothing of any real interest there.
It was only when the dog started CLIMBING on him that he figured out what it had been about. It wanted a wolf-back ride?? Zeke laughed internally at the thought, his bushy tail wagging from side to side a couple of times as he felt the small dogs claws inch their way up his back.
Unlike the sudden bite on the tail, he didn't feel much in the way of anything more than padding on his back, like someone was trying to massage him with the blunt end of a pencil. Feeling the figure stop moving and pat him on the head, Zeke did his best to rise to his feet without jolting his passenger too much. He had been itching to stretch his legs after all, so stuffing around in a corridor was not how he wanted to spend this precious wolf time if he could help it.
The barking was all the motivation he needed to get going, and so he did... slowly at first, still getting used to the feet/hands thing. In his mind, he had to liken it to how children played 'dogs' or 'horses' down on all fours, and so he consciously counted out his steps at first until he was able to gain momentum.
Would the dog stay on alright if he bounded down the stairs???
Time would tell.
Zeke howled with delight before taking a somewhat sharp turn to descend the first lot of stairs. And they were off!
