dog

It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.

Theodore
College freshmen will do some crazy things, but my friends and I, we housed a puppy in our dorm without getting caught. For $100 Teddy could have been your secret too. Now of course after buying a bed, toys, food, and the vet bills he’d be more expensive. How much all that truly cost I can’t remember now. What I do remember are the close calls of hiding Teddy under a coat, or in a backpack to avoid the RAs. I remember us handing him between third floor windows as the RA knocked at the door. I doubt they ever believed me about my TV’s volume being the culprit, but they never stopped us from building a family around our new fuzzy friend.

The World According to Bear
About me: The first thing they usually look at is my teeth and mine are pretty gnarly. You see, I got bad teeth from chewing on the 24 x 24 x 24 metal pen I eventually escaped from in Lock Haven, Inglewood.

Escape Artist Extraordinaire
June 3rd, 2020: Mom has been working from home 4 months now. It’s great because I can sleep in or lay beside her wherever she is, she gives us treats throughout the day, and I can go outside whenever I want. This last thing drives Mom crazy because I learned some new tricks from Tatiana.

Before I had a dog
Before I got my dog was a strange time in my life. It was a time when everything seemed to be moving past me at warp speed, blurred around the edges and blowing harshly in the wind. Everything seemed just a little scary. There were shadows in every corner and question marks at the end of everyone's statements.

Every Day's a Party on My Block. Third Place in Life Unleashed Challenge.
There’s an unofficial dog park on our block It’s really just a large lawn, mostly flat but sloping gently toward the middle, originally put there by the developers as an aesthetic way to handle drainage. It’s bounded by streets on two sides, by an alley on one, and by an expanse of cattail-studded brush on the other, the haven of red-tailed blackbirds and white-tailed deer that stretches between the outskirts of our neighborhood and the river.

Bigger Than Her Body
Nibbles lies on a fluffy bed near the back door. Her breathing is rapid and shallow, her creamy brown pelt drenched with sweat. She whimpers occasionally, but the sound is barely audible. More a sigh than a whimper, really.

Dog Walker
I always find that when I take longer walks with my dogs in the morning and evening that it becomes almost meditative exercise for me. A time that I can work out things in my mind that are going on in my life. I have two dogs, and I can tell you that they are always in favor of longer walks or going to an open place that they can run around. When I am on these longer walks, usually 25-45 minutes, it turns out to be a time that I can work out a problem I’m having in my life or help me to refocus myself, put together a plan for the day, or work out a decision I need to make whether it’s something in my personal life or in my professional life. I find these longer walks are especially helpful if I am upset about something or having difficulty with one of the people in my life that I am close with.

The Glitter Bomb
I awoke to the smell of glitter. Bleary eyed and yawning, I stumbled downstairs. The morning rays were diffracted by the antique glass windows of my old home. The diffracted light painted the walls orange, yellow and red.

Night walk
Our family dog is a Keplie cross German Shepherd. He is one of the most loving dogs I’ve ever had in my life and our whole family loves him to bits. He has such a beautiful personality despite his past. He was rescued from the pound as his previous owners just told him to run away as he was the runt of the litter. And due to his previous mistreatment he only gets along with one or two other dogs. However, we are doing our best to teach him that other dogs are alright to be around, and he doesn’t need to be so hostile to other dogs. I just can’t wait to work hard with him and continuing his training to bring much more of his fun loving side out of him. I truly believe one day we may be able to go and allow him to have more doggy friends and truly enjoy life much more.
