Clean and Jerk
_For Tyd_e **Clean and Jerk** "Come on, you beautiful spotted bastard. Just a few more inches." Meat-ripping teeth bared in a fearsome display. Broad strong paws gripped, tighter and tighter. Arms tensed, straining against a force they had never...

After Team Tryouts
_For Skruf_ **After Team Tryouts** Skruf headed down the dark windowless corridor, a hurried bounce of the paw in each of his steps. His new football coach had asked for an urgent meeting, and he certainly did not want to be late. He was not...
Fur Wash
For Tyde Fur Wash They're cheering. Even through the shimmering azure haze of the world around me, I can hear it, see it, feel it in my whiskers. Up I rise, and in an instant the world returns to focus, the colours balance, and there before me stand...

For Tyde **The College Contest** By Ziegenbock Dawn broke over Oakmount College Sports Campus. A variety of animals, some tall and lean, others big and brawny, crisscrossed the grounds. The college colours, black and gold, were adorned...
