The Dog (pt 7)
The morning came quickly and with rain. More rain. She should have known with all the heat and humidity of the last few days it was bound to happen. She got up early and let Doone out without any encouragement from him. She didn’t want him to feel as if it was a burden. She […]
The Dog (pt 6)
So much for good dreams. Dreaming that you have a cut on your arm and bugs coming out of it wasn’t really her idea of “good” and she awoke feeling rather spooked. Doone picked up on this and nuzzled up to her, but she just wanted to be left alone. “I have to go out” […]

The Dog (pt 4)
She’d been anxious quite honestly for a long time. Since the arrival of Doone, things had really hit an all time high. It was a different kind of anxiety and she wasn’t sure what exactly was going on. She fidgeted nervously as she glanced over at her SMTWTFS pill box, and wondered if its contents were […]
Music to clean by…
In honor of Doone, she cranked up the volume…loud…to the Baha Men singing Who Let The Dogs Out in which she saw her poor puppy take his paws and actually try and cover his ears. Hahahahaha!
The Dog, Housework, Real Life (pt 3)
She realized that despite the fact there was a telepathic dog now living in her home, she had housework to do. If she was going to have to cook for Doone, she was going to have to clean the kitchen. An abundance of dirty dishes had accumulated in the sink, the dishwasher was full of clean […]
