The sun was setting over the lake, painting the sky in a mix of orange and gold, and the air was filled with the sound of crickets singing, when suddenly

‘Don’t you dare,’ he said, warning me to stop.

How could I stop, it smelled amazing, I wanted to have that on my fur. My tail wagging, I finally stopped, rolling in the beautiful mound of stench. I mean, it was delicious, the heady aroma of fox. Sticking to my fur, I was the happiest dog ever.

He didn’t have to swear.

The window was wide open, I mean, I like fresh air, but that was rediculous.

‘What did you have to that for?’
