I decided that Flower really deserves her own story. Enjoy.
My name is Flower Whiskers. I'm the dominant female of my family. People call me the "Iron Lady". I'm about to die. - - - - I started life as a cheeky little pup. I was born into the Whiskers, back when it was young. I took over the Whiskers with a male named Youssarian Vivian. At first he was my mate, but then his brother stole my heart. His name is Zaphod Vivian. Zaphod and I ruled the Whiskers for many years and had many children together. Under our leadership, the Whiskers grew into a very large and powerful group. We've had our ups and downs, but through it all, I led them.
For a long time, the Lizuli were our arch rivals, but after Big Si died, they became a much smaller threat. Then, I met our new arch rivals, the Commandoes. Their leader is a cyclops called Hannible. They evicted us from our territory and we had to get a new one. Our new neighbors, the Zappa, were noot much of a threat. We outnumbered them more that 3 to 1. Although they attacked the burrow once, I was not afraid of them. My biggest fear in our new home, was the lack of food. I had to split up the group because we were too big a group and there was too little food. I had to leave my babies with the larger group. My little Squiggy's foot was messed up, so he wouldn't have been able to keep up with my nomadic group. While away, I visited our old home for a quick drink from the watering whole that we used to visit often. I missed this place. I kept watch while the rest of the group took their drinks first. I took mine last. That's when my old nemisis Hannible showed up. As much as I wanted to bite him for making us leave, we retreated. We were to small a splinter group to take the Commandoes. Later, we met back up with the family! i found my daughter Rocket Dog in charge, and my daughters Daisy and Maybelline were both pregnant! Plus it turns out that my poor babies Len and Squiggy had both died! Rocket Dog submitted right away and bowed to me, saying "Mom, I'm so glad you're back! You're the true leader. I don't know how you do it. I'm so sorry about Len and Squiggy." I forgave her. I was heartbroken over my babies, but I did what I had to for the group. It was just so good to be home. Soon after, I had my pups. I felt a little guilty because they were not Zaphod's. I still feel guilty for cheeting on him with Houdini, even if he was asking for it. Then today, after playfighting with the group, the Zappa showed up, looking to take our land. We kicked their butts! But they left their pup Axel behind. Mitch brought him to me, it was my decision to make. I took pity on the little guy. He was too small to be a threat. Besides, he was just too cute! Then, a cape cobra showed up. We tried mobbing it, but it escaped into the burrow where my pups were! I had to save them. I went below ground and killed the snake. But it bit me in the head during our struggle. ---- I'm fading quickly. I'm not going to make it. I wish I had the strength to apologize to Zaphod. I wish I could tell my family that I loved them and have ole last group hug. I wish---uhh, many things. At
least now, their will be no more pain or hunger. Everything will be peaceful, and I'll get to see all of my lost loved ones. My worries are over. Good-bye Zaphod. Good-bye my children. Good-bye kalahari...
