"Come on and play, Flute!"

Ash seems to say.

Flute may be saying, "Hey, Buddy, take care. I'm pregnant!"

The photo of Ash racing and leaping in the air makes me laugh. He'll try anything to entice Flute to play. Clearly, Flute is unimpressed.

Ash is a playful boy and Flute usually does like to play with him. Not these days, though. Flute is being pretty careful with herself and her pups.
