Furnishing the house had the cougar up all hours of the night as well as the worry of financing all of it. Her mate was a generous and resourceful fellow in providing her the funds to go shopping. She really appreciated it, but it was still hard going. The feline hated shopping, as it felt like a waste of time to sift through various things she had no interest in. While she put a brave face on for most of the time, sometimes she just felt stressed.

A friend had come over to see the work in progress that was the home. Trying to be a gracious host, the cougar tried to give a thorough and fun tour. It was a bit difficult for her to do it smoothly as she just kept seeing flaw in everything. They'd only been there maybe two weeks, but the cougar wanted the house complete. At the end of the tour, the aardwolf took her hand, giving it a friendly squeeze.

"You need a break," he said spotting the springy large plush toy in the 'Random Things' room. "You need some fun."

The feline mewed in protest, thinking about all the little fixes and other things they needed. "I can't! I need to -"

He yanked her up, holding tight to both her hands as he begun to bounce. "Nope."

"But I have so many things -"

"And this is one of them as well," he said bouncing with a big grin.

The cougar sighed once more, resigning herself to her fate. However it wasn't long until she begun to smile and giggle a bit with her friend.
