Elli was so excited. She knew a lot of the girls would go towards the fluffy or cuter animals, so hopefully there wouldn't be much competition for some of the feistier creatures. She wanted something exotic, something she wouldn't see on the farm back home.

She prepared herself to dart to the Sanctuary and look at all the tiny babies. Maybe there were bigger babies, too. Ellie always wanted to care for a larger newborn, even one larger than herself.
