The real source of Harm

Casper looked up at his guardian, bored and almost yawning. His guardian was telling him off for ripping up her slippers. She was shouting at him, pointing emphatically to her chewed slippers and saying, “Bad dog! No!” Following that, she took away his toy, refused his treats and even ignored him for a few hours.Continue reading “The real source of Harm”

Living in Peace

Two dogs were eyeing each other, growling and circling around a dead rabbit. Keeping one eye on the prize and the other eye on each other. Snarling and baring their teeth, they continued their ritual dance. Frank stood on one side, head cocked and wondered what was going to happen. One dog made a dashContinue reading “Living in Peace”

What I do not know

Benji was resting in the garden, mulling about life and such. He was just lounging on the patio deck, absorbing the gentle warmth of the sun. Unbeknownst to him, his little sister (from another mother) was lying in his comfy bed that he usually guards religiously, wrapping herself in his favourite blanket and busy tearingContinue reading “What I do not know”

Anxiousness

Odin walked tentatively to the door, licking his lips and glancing from side to side. He was at the vets again. He did not like it. The last time he came, the vet stuck something sharp into him while smiling and pretending to be friendly and helpful. Odin wanted to be home, to be safeContinue reading “Anxiousness”

The Snowflake

Buddy looked up. The sky was full of cotton wool falling and flying around. He barked excitedly and jumped to try to bite one. It tasted cold. It was not wet like the rain he was used to. It moved differently from the Tears of God. It uncharacteristically flew around with the wind. One fellContinue reading “The Snowflake”

How does life affect you?

Flint hopped on his three legs, looking around for rabbits to chase. He had been knocked down by a car last week. As a result, one of his legs was crushed and had to be amputated. He had always lived his life vicariously. In fact, the reason for his accident was that he was chasingContinue reading “How does life affect you?”

Failure inflates Fearlessness

Jock stared intently at his frisbee. His front feet shuffled restlessly on the edge of the bank as he tried to reach for it. It was balanced precariously on a branch just above the running river below. He made a jump for it and fell short. His lanky legs flailed in the air before droppingContinue reading “Failure inflates Fearlessness”

Never be a puppet

Willow tugged at his lead. His guardian was trying to lead him to the field for a walk but he wanted to explore the woods instead. He looked at his guardian as though saying, “I am a woodlands dog, not a grass walking mutt! There are no trees and shrubs for me to shove myContinue reading “Never be a puppet”

M.I.A.

Jack leapt up for the fifteenth time, his jaw snapping into empty air. He readjusted and jumped again. He has been trying to get to the treat that his guardian had held up for him. It was a little bit out of reach. However, Jack being Jack, does not give up. He barks at it.Continue reading “M.I.A.”

Resistance is essential

Tim was heaving, keeping his head above water.  All four legs were paddling vigorously. A mild current in the river meant that he had to work harder than just swimming in a still river. Tim kept swimming towards his floating toy. He was determined to retrieve it as he had always done. It was important.Continue reading “Resistance is essential”
