Tess suddenly sat up in bed, struggling for her eyes to gain focus as she roused herself from her nightmare that had been her close companion since she could remember. Her pink rose snap-down nightshirt was bathed in sweat and her fragile heart was thumping in her chest as she grabbed her two squirt guns in her left and right pockets, displacing the kleenex.

Katya hunkered down behind the Great Eastern Hemlock tree, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. She whispered a loud ,"Sssshh!!," at her younger fifteen year- old sister, Elisabeth, who lay next to her. In this admonition, she most likely made more noise than if she hadn't issued the warning. Elisabeth was the recipient of a spray of spittle that rained down on her blonde hair. Elisabeth toyed with the idea of giving her sister a swift kick, but had learned from experience that the ...

My life is sometimes quiet and oftentimes filled with boundless joy, but that has not always been the case. The happiness derives from the close and interdependent relationship I have with the person with whom I share my life.This bond has in turn enriched the experiences of countless others. I am referring to the celebrated and time-beyond memory pact between man and dog.I am the more loyal and loveable dog of this pairing..I don't do anything crazy-such as talking or driving like dogs on television...
