Homer Homer is a fourteen-year-old mutt that we got at the Animal Rescue League twelve years ago. He is not the brightest bulb on the tree‚ but he is personality plus and part of the family.

The only sounds he heard were the hypnotic ticking of the clock‚ the occasional chiming of the bell the hung above the door‚ and the falling rain.

While listening to the rain drops gently pattering against the coffee shop window‚ his thoughts drifted back to her

Tired eyes could not contemplate the barren surroundings. They blinked once. Twice. Three times. And still‚ the gray walls did not metamorphose into the equally unfamiliar golden blades of grass.

He trembled with fear‚ while simultaneously quietly whispering for her to “calm down”. Which
