- SUNKI NESTS

once a pup reaches the ripe old age of four months, they are, with much ceremony, bustled off to the haystacks where the sunki sleep. directly below the beds of the three winemas, the lively youngsters can often - and will often - be a pain, but they usually drift off to sleep by at least moonhigh. after all, they work all day with their teachers. with about one puppy to every hay bale, there's plenty of room, and the hay is warm and snug and keeps the wind out, which is why the dogs favor it as bedding. the hay at the top tends to be the wettest and coldest, and around the sites, the sunki tend to be stepped on and jostled by adoettes retiring to their dens in the rafters; so it's a warm, cosy spot in the very center of the heap that is most prized. over the moons, the sunki have begin cycling around regularly, with every pup getting an equal chance at the honored place.
