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.

Dog for Students
A dog is a domestic animal. A dog has powerful jaws so it can quite effectively eat flesh; it has four legs, two eyes, two ears, a tail, a mouth, and a nose. These are an ingenious animal and are useful to catch robbers.

Killer
”His name’s Killer,” said the man who lived down the street. I blinked at him. My wife’s response was to crouch down and baby-talk the black and tan dachshund: “Aren’t you just a ferocious little beastie, yes you are—oooo yes, you are!”

It Has Been 6 Years, I Still Miss My Dog
It has been six years since Reno died. On his death day, I have an awful day. For the first two years, I did not go to work on that day. Now I go to work, but I am not very productive. I never healed enough to get another dog. I have gotten cats, but no dogs since Reno. He was sixteen years old when he died from prostate cancer.

Pooch and Pocket-Hole
A woodshop, after all, is like a serial killer’s foxhole from an 80s paperback. The table saw holds a knife to my neck and dares me to slip up and send a finger flying. The noise is terrible and industrial and droning, and the noise can gum up the ears and make them buzz. At night, laying in bed, my ears buzz. Handling the machines for so long, the vibrations become part of the hands, and the hands feel tingly and dead. Like gums at the dentist when they’re shot up in anesthetic.

Chocolate Heaven. Top Story - July 2021.
Lottie’s twitching nose dragged her slowly from her afternoon slumber. She had been enjoying an active dream of rabbit chasing and at first was reluctant to rise from her incredibly comfortable position on the sofa. Warm patches of sunlight coated her furry body and she felt deliciously relaxed. Rising into a graceful downward dog, she took her time with the stretch and added a pink-tipped yawn for good measure. She plopped herself down onto the carpet, landing just beside the brownish stain that she vaguely remembered being responsible for some time ago. She bent her head and sniffed at it. Yep, that one had definitely been hers.

His Gift To Me
As I approach the old barn, I take a moment to breathe it all in. The yellow paint that has somehow degraded to a sick green color, the windows barely hanging on, the wood creaking with gusts of wind. My hands squeeze the beautiful red collar that belonged to my best friend, Charlie. Even though my eyes witness an abandoned barn, my heart feels nothing but bittersweet memories, warmth laying on my shoulders, and relief in my breath.

The Graduation Present
He awoke at first light and flung his arm over the edge of the bed in a panic and felt for her. She was where he had left her the night before. She had not stirred nor moved. He pressed his face against the pillow with all the hope and dread of the world joined in an infinite second and laid flat his palm to her belly and cast aside his atheism to approach prayer. Her soft fur rose and fell, briefly and shallow but a breath at that. He looked over the bed and stared longingly at her and she on her side half turned her head to meet his gaze and ask of him what he wanted.

Life with a reactive dog
Dogs are renowned for requiring lots of time, work and patience however when you have a reactive rescue dog the amounts needed are more than doubled. These animals have more complex needs and thus require so much more understanding and time patience than most dogs. Many reactive dogs are rescue dogs and often their past experiences are not known meaning that we cannot predict the way in which they will react to different situations. Having rescued a very nervous and dog reactive dog two years ago this is something that has been reinforced with every new situation we have experienced. Some he has found extremely enjoyable whereas others he found stressful and was incredibly reactive. Over time we have enjoyed many good times as well as many situations from which we have learnt. Dogs need chance to overcome their issues and in order to be given this chance they need love and understanding. Despite this need for love a strong leader is also required of the handler as they need to teach the dog to look to them for reassurance and guidance.

Diving into a new hobby can feel so much like traveling to a county that doesn't speak your predominant tongue, or trying to make sense of a complex mathematics problem when your brain runs off literature and language.

Blue: An Adoption Story
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved animals. I used to envy my friends who were allowed to have pets. My mother was allergic to cats and dogs so we couldn’t have any, much to the sadness of my younger brothers and me.
