The rain didn't stop through the rest of the night and continued as the sky began to lighten outside the concrete box. Although I'm sure that most of us would prefer to be dry, that wasn't going to stop the dogs of the yard going out to meander and...

I awoke several hours later in the middle of the night. The storm was still raging outside and the area around the portal to the house was damp and abandoned. It looked like it was going to go on the rest of the night, but I had to whizz so I braved...

It took more time to bring Pink Nose, Terrier-face and the shepherd-lab up to my level of understanding of language. During that time, life was busy but fairly uneventful save for another litter of male pups being delivered and three more dogs being...

A week after the shepherd-lab returned, Pink Nose and I were beginning to share simple conversations. He'd mastered the basics and was steadily gaining vocabulary. Watching him learn was probably the best thing for Terrier-face, Fatty and the...

Heavier bodies of the obese canines surrounding us on all sides seemed to make an even more solid wall than it had been earlier this year and they kept me from being able to move around the shepherd-lab in the way that i naturally wanted to, given my better mobility

He pulled this way and that, making up for my lack of mobility. it was fun and took my mind off of my aching stomach and other matters for a time.
my brother grew bored after a while and dropped the rope to wander off.

I was badly hurt after the fight. When the shepherd-lab finally removed his awesome bulk from my body, he and everyone else ignored me. I didn't dare to move because it hurt so much. My neck and my leg were bleeding freely, but I'd also been crushed...

To this day, I still don't know what possessed that squirrel to land right in the middle of a pen filled with dogs. It might have just been looking for food, or it might have been suicidal. I harbor a secret suspicion that it's even possible a human...
