{dog people}

once upon a time there was a girl named Lauren. She lived with her mommy and daddy and brother and sisters. they had a perfect little puppy named Chuck. Lauren and Chuck were best friends except when he bit the back of her shirt and swung her around in circles when she was just a wee little lass, or when he trapped her on the swing set and threatened to bite her knee caps if she got off. Well, Chuck the dog and Lauren the girl got over their differences and grew up together. then one day tragidy struck and Chuck went to heaven after a long doggy sickness and a bout on a doggy ventilater. Lauren was a very very sad girl because she missed her pal Chuck so much, she cried for days and days. She could never again love a dog the way she loved Chuck.

fast forward a few years: one morning Lauren woke up to find that her dear brother had brought home a barking mess of a puppy named Tundra. Tundra peed on the floors and acted crazy all the time. Lauren's hearth ached for Chuck but she decided she would try to love Tundra. Lauren grew to love Tundra almost as much as she loved Chuck. Just as she was learning to love Tundra a new dog named Shadow showed up and swept Tundra right off her paws. Lauren didnt know if she had any more room in her heart to love another dog but soon she loved that she could muster up enough love for Shadow as well. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into years and although she still missed Chuck very much she also loved Tundra and Shadow as much as one girl could. but then Shadow got sick. he got so sick that he could live no longer. And Lauren was so sad all over again. she hoped that Chuck and Shadow were having fun together.

back on earth Tundra started to fall apart. she missed Shadow so very much that she fell into a severe doggy depression. she sat around all day feeling as bad as could be. Lauren couldnt decide if she was more sad about Shadow dying or Tundra being doggy depressed. Lauren decided that to help them both cope she would give Tundra a make over. Lauren bought her some new clothes and even attempted to paint her little paw nails.


It took a few months, but slowly Tundra started to act like her old self again. However, Tundra's new found happiness was cut short when Lauren moved away to college. Lauren did some back to visit often but Tundra was never the same again.

and then the unthinkable happened. Lauren came home for spring break to find this sleeping on the couch:

Lauren wasnt sure if she was in the right house but then realized she was. She wondered how that thing got in but then she remembered... a tragic turn of events led this thing called Callie to come live at Lauren's house for a few months. Lauren wasn't sure who to feel more bad for: her daddy for having to live with it or Tundra for having her turf invaded by a *whispers* feline
