History: Tessie was forced to bear Gumbo's children. As her stomache grew she hated her children and Gumbo more and more. When Tessie finally had the pups all that hate vanished. She still lashed out at Gumbo though. Afraid that he would spoil the happiness that she had found within their children.
Their first litter grew up listening to their parents argue and fearing both of them at times. When Gumbo offered Tessie the right to leave she stayed. The pups were shocked, especially when they noticed the fighting had stopped. The pups watched their parents fall in love.
The second litter was born, leaving mixed feelings about within the first litter. Winter came soon afterwards and the family found themselves playing in the snow. Slugger, then climbed out onto the ice. Gumbo raced after the pup fearing that he would fall through the early winter's first freeze. The ice began to crack and Gumbo saved Slugger but a moment after Gumbo fell through. He escaped from the ice and ran back to shore.
Tessie tried everything she could to keep Gumbo warm that night but in the morning Gumbo was frozen and dead. Tessie went a little nuts after losing her mate. She had relied on him heavily, and now he was gone. Tessie had never been to town by herself before and she was too proud to ask anyone but her mate for help.
Nobody would've helped her anyway. Everyone in Nome found the female to be odd. Cricket stepped up to help her mom and was thanked every day for it. Weevil abandoned her family in hopes of keeping herself out of the turmoil. Wasp stayed with the family, feeling that he was now the man. After his father's death Slugger was severely harrassed by Roach.
Growing up being hated by his brother, Slugger became really scared of his other siblings. Except for Cricket. Slugger though couldn't stand the guilt he recieved whenever he looked at his mother and eventually ran away.
