Evolution Part I: Chapter Thirteen
He was right, of course. Just as he'd been right about everything. I just wished that he hadn't been this one time. It took just over a week for the black lab's premonition to come true. It was about half an hour after breakfast and I was lying...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Eleven
I was badly hurt after the fight. When the shepherd-lab finally removed his awesome bulk from my body, he and everyone else ignored me. I didn't dare to move because it hurt so much. My neck and my leg were bleeding freely, but I'd also been crushed...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Ten
I brooded on the thought of my stolen squirrel most of the night. I wasn't hard. I could hear the lab shepherd chewing greedily on the gristle of it like chewing gum on the other side of the yard. The sound of it made my blood boil. So much so that the...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Nine
To this day, I still don't know what possessed that squirrel to land right in the middle of a pen filled with dogs. It might have just been looking for food, or it might have been suicidal. I harbor a secret suspicion that it's even possible a human...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Eight
I didn't know it yet, but my diet had quite the opposite effect on my life than I'd intended. It, in fact, had set me on course to match with the very largest of dogs who lived in the yard. The humans never came out and said it (well, they might have,...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Seven
By the end of a week, the large bruise on my tummy had mostly cleared up and I was moving more easily. However, my wrenched paw took longer to heal, despite the fact that my lacerations had scabbed over nicely in less than a day; they wouldn't leave...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Six
I didn't roughhouse for a week after I'd suffered my defeat at the fangs of the brown lab. As for my relationship with my antagonist, it was little different than how it was before. He held no grudge against me nor I him. I showed him deference when...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Four
By the time I was eighteen weeks old, the pen had become as much a home to me as anywhere else I'd been in my life and in many ways it was far superior to the now fuzzy memories of mother and her sweet milk. I was feeling more and more adult, and that...
Evolution Part I: Chapter Two
For the betterment of my social and psychological wellbeing, the four dogs of the litter, including myself, were moved to a large communal kennel away from where the brooding bitches were housed individually. There, all the other male pups were housed,...
Evolution Part I: Chapter One
If you haven't guessed it yet, i'm a dog, a golden retriever to be exact, or at least mostly. more than half certainly, though the breeding gets rather complicated the further back you go.
Nothing Will Hurt You
As i do, the golden retriever walks over to me. i barely get to prepare myself as they crouch in front of me. i close my eyes and wait. "kit?" my fur bristles. i open my eyes and am greeted by the sight of bright blue eyes staring back at me.
Eiko, the shy and timid Golden chapter 2
Chapter 2: Team spirit Two weeks had passed since Eiko started her new school life. So far no unfortunate incidents had occurred, and as far as Eiko was concerned she was passing perfectly fine as a girl even though her voice every now and then...
