Reciprocal Assistance 1
Pete must have been called out, or something, as he was gone before I got up in the morning. I thought it somewhat unusual, but figured that's how things go sometimes. It was a rather dreary morning, as happens with winter coming on, the light wind...
Liferings
I must have fallen asleep in my chair that night as when I woke the sun was just washing through the big picture window, Christina was snoring in my lap, Pete was sleeping slumped over with his back against the couch, with Ghost and Maverick curled...
The Legend of a Sleepy Hollow
Later that morning I got up and pondered while dressing. I put on casual clothes and then fed the dogs and headed out to see how my guests were doing, the morning chill a little brisk but I didn't really mind, being mostly a cool-weather person myself....

Tales of Ishim 1: Home at last

Arguments, Concerns, and Love

Secondhand Lions, Strange Surprises
Secondhand Lions, Strange Surprises Jerry wasn't around as I strolled up out front, which was just as well. I wasn't really there to see him, but instead to see just how bad Big John was acting around Honey. If he was harassing her too much I'd have...
New Friends and Old Battles
New Friends and Old Battles I woke up still cuddled with Julie, Cleo having moved to a different spot overnight. I nuzzled Julie's neck some and kissed her nosie. "Good morning, sleepyhead." Julie wriggled and gradually gained consciousness. She...
Roaring Road Trip 4: Take Me Home, Country Roads
Roaring Road Trip 4: Take Me Home, Country Roads Julie woke me and it was still dim out, and still raining fairly heavily. I looked over the edge of the bunk and saw Hercules standing in the aisle. "I think he wants to go back, Jim," Julie said...
