We Don't Recognize Jolene - Anna Blake
I worry about us humans. Too many of us are idiots. Mister says some humans are poor in spirit. Edgar Rice Burro taught him that.

You get to a certain age and give up trying to please people. Just like good dogs eventually become old dogs, and sometimes bite children.

Hungover, Jolene Meets The Weather of Her People - Anna Blake
We have a Vallhund hangover. Jolene knows it's just me and Mister now, and to be fair, we are a little slow and dull-witted.
