Chapter 3 Collard

Jake woke up at the same time he always did. It was no surprise that Hannah was still asleep, and he didn't know what time she normally got up, but he figured his crew would soon look for him. He jumped off the bed, let himself out and did his business in the dog run. He thought about running back to his place, but then thought better of it. They'd just see a wolf and call animal control. He would be better off to stay with Hannah-a human that trusted him. She was currently his potential best hope to break this curse.

He wiped his feet and let himself back into the house as Hannah was coming out of the washroom-still nude-still gorgeous. "Thank you for letting yourself out, Jake. Come here. Let's get some breakfast." It was only a few steps to the kitchen area, but Jake followed behind. Why wouldn't he follow behind? Hers was beautiful! Hannah toasted two bagels, then a third. She cut and buttered them all, but only took one and put 2 in Jake's food dish. She went and collected her clothes hamper and started the laundry, then returned to the bedroom and got dressed. To her surprise, Jake showed restraint and ate only one of his bagels. "Jake, I need to go to class. There's no one upstairs to give you any hassle, and I'll stop and get your license today. The rest of the lasagne is in the fridge, you're welcome to it. You're smart, I'm sure you'll have no problems getting into it. Please don't make a mess and I'll be home around 4." She then gave him a kiss, put on her jacket and collected her stuff before hurrying out the door. Her laptop was still there, though, but she had a password and he didn't know it. What he needed was his own laptop. Then he could tell people what had happened, rather than waiting and hoping they could piece everything together. She had a smart TV, but the remote control was just too difficult to operate with his enormous paws. He needed a stylus of some sort, just something to push the buttons with. At least if he had news, he could see if they were looking for him, or if nothing else, he could watch a movie. With the thought of movies, Jake realized what he needed more than anything was those dog collars that could translate the dog's speech from that animated movie with the balloon house. He then laughed, thinking he'd get the wonky collar and his voice would be all funny. Jake went outside and sat on the patio, looking down towards his house, then across the valley to the neighbourhood where the witches lived. Jake wasn't a violent person, but at that moment, he would've loved nothing more than to see Gabbie walking down in the valley, where he could hunt her down and kill her. It was one possibility to break the curse, so it wasn't off the table. Hannah's house had a grove of trees on the side with the dog run, but had neighbours next door on the other. Fortunately, they had a privacy fence on both sides, and a black chain-link fence facing the valley so as not to obstruct the view. If Jake wanted to leave, that fence would be easy to jump. But leaving the yard with no collar or identification could see him captured and that would kibosh any plans of breaking the curse. He'd have to just be patient. Hannah said she was picking up his license today. He ran around the yard for a bit, practicing quick redirections and jumping over the fence. After a while, he checked out the doghouse, noticing it had an electrical cord coming out of it. As he went inside, he found it had a heated mat that actually felt really comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, that he fell asleep. He awoke to his stomach grumbling. So he went into the house and ate the second bagel, but was still hungry so he opened the fridge. The lasagne was in a glass casserole dish. Jake didn't want to break it by letting it fall on the hardwood floor, so he went and grabbed a pillow off the couch and put it on the floor, then pulled the dish out on top of it and slid it onto the floor before returning the pillow to the couch. The cold lasagne tasted great and sated his hunger. As he was deep in thought, staring across the valley to the community where the witches lived, he heard the doorbell. A quick glance at the video device on the kitchen island showed a delivery guy had left a large box, then pushed the button, took a picture and drove off. That was probably his food and toothpaste. That would give him something to do, and would help Hannah. Jake went outside, then up the poured concrete sidewalk between the two houses. As he reached the top of the stairs, he encountered the gate. It was one of those heavy wrought-iron gates. Fortunately, it had the horizontal lever-style doorknobs so he could manipulate it. Jake pulled down the handle and with a slight push, the gate opened a slight bit, and it stayed in that position. He pushed it open further and the gate also stayed there. Wow! Talk about a level gate! He pushed the gate all the way open, so it was against the house. Again waiting just to make sure it wouldn't automatically close. He then proceeded to the corner of the house and looked around the neighbourhood to make sure no one was going to scream and call animal control. With the coast clear, he stayed low as he approached the entrance, which was simply one step up from the rest of the sidewalk. The box was large and had HEAVY stickers on it. The box just ripped when he tried to pull on it. Hannah must've bought the big 50-pound bag. Resigned to pushing, he put his head down and began moving the box off the step and toward the side of the house. It took him quite a while to get the box pushed around the corner and beyond the gate. Then he went back and pulled the gate closed, before proceeding to push the box down to the patio where he parked it just outside the door's arc. That would be much easier for Hannah since the box weighed more than half of her own weight. That minor project must have taken more time than he thought as he soon heard children entering the neighbours' back yard. School must be out, which means Hannah should be home soon. Sure enough, a little over an hour later Hannah came home, as Jake was still sitting out in the yard enjoying the warmth of the sun. Hannah smiled when she saw Jake. "I watched you push the box down here for me. Thank you so much, Jake. Let's get it inside and unboxed. Adriana will be here soon." She opened the door and tried to pick up the box, but it was too heavy, so she opened the box and pulled out two small containers and a black collar. Then she went and picked up a single 8-kilogram bag of wilderness dog food that had a picture of a wolf on the package. Then she returned and pulled a second bag of dog food out of the box. Because Jake was smart, Hannah felt she needed to explain. "Supposedly, this food is of high quality and inspired by the diet of wolves. So hopefully you'll like it. It comes in its own re-sealable package so it stays fresh, so once one bag is empty, I'll order another bag to replace it. That way, you won't ever have to go hungry, plus future deliveries will be much lighter! It looked like you really struggled to get that box to move. Thank you for doing that for me." She made a quick trip to her storage room and came back with a scoop; then she opened the bag and filled his food dish, then sealed the bag back up with the scoop inside. She picked up the lasagne dish, put it in the sink and filled it with water to soak. "Thank you for not making a mess with the lasagne. Also good job on getting it out without breaking it. I realized that after I got to school. How did you do it?" Jake went to the couch, grabbed a pillow, and put it outside the fridge door. Hannah picked up the pillow and threw it back onto the couch. "You are such a smart dog, would you like a treat?" Jake nodded. Hannah stripped off her clothes and sat on the couch. Her legs were wide apart as she spread her pussy open with her fingers. Jake needed no further invitation as he began licking her sweet honey slit. "Oh Jake, that feels so good." A few minutes later, she began to orgasm and squirted a bit. Jake happily savoured every drop she let him have. Once sated, she got up, kissed Jake again and said, "You are the best wolf in the entire world. I love you." Then went and hopped in the shower. Upon hearing her confession, Jake felt pangs of guilt. Hannah really seemed to love him-as her dog. How would she feel once she learned who he really was? After all, they had met in the past, albeit not formally, but he had cut the grass and shovelled snow for her parents for years. Jake just hoped she would forgive him and still love him. He'd really have to think about how to handle things on a full moon. Hannah got out of the shower and dressed in a simple sweatshirt and sweatpants. A knock came at the door and Adriana let herself in. Jake estimated she was about the same age as Hannah, 5'2", maybe 110 pounds, brown hair down just past her shoulders, green eyes and measurements about 34C-25-31. Hannah said, "Hey! Nia will be here shortly." "That's your new dog? He sure looks like a wolf!" "Yup, that's Jake! I don't think he's an actual wolf, he's too smart and well-trained to be raised in the wild." The brunette kneeled down and scratched his neck fur and behind his ears, then pushed him over to lie down and then scratched his belly. Jake could see why dogs always lied down when a person gets down to that level. Belly rubs and ear scratches felt incredible! Hannah was still getting ready as the cute brunette kept rubbing his belly. Her hands kept getting closer to his junk until she actually started stroking his sheath, prompting his cock to make an appearance. This was even better than belly rubs! "Wow, he IS huge!" She said with wide eyes and a big grin. Hannah came over and saw what she was doing. "Adriana, don't get him horny. Nia won't let him fuck Sasha." Adriana just smiled and stopped stroking him. "Yeah, for a wolf, he's very well-behaved." Jake sat up and she gave him kisses and hugs as she roughed up his neck fur. "You don't have a collar for him yet?" "Oh yeah! I also picked up his dog tag today. I was going to put it on his collar first." She got the collar off the island and attached a metal tag to the large black buckle collar and then put it around his neck, making sure it was loose, but also asking Jake if that felt OK. Jake just nodded. He wasn't about to get out of his collar. That tag would be his saving grace if he ever got picked up by animal control. Hannah's phone dinged. "Nia's here!" She then looked at Jake and asked, "Do you want to go to the dog park with Sasha?" Jake stood up and started walking toward Hannah. The three of them left the house and locked it up, then walked up the sidewalk to where an ebony beauty was standing beside a blue Toyota Tacoma with matching blue topper. Nia was slightly taller than Hannah or Adriana at around 5-foot-7, with black hair and brown eyes. Nia looked at Jake with wide eyes. "Uh Hannah, that's a wolf! Wolves kill dogs like Sasha." "Jake might look like a wolf, but he's a big softy. He won't harm Sasha." "He better not!" was all she said as she opened the topper and opened the tailgate. "Get in!" It was a good thing Jake had practiced jumping today, although this required a bit more precision. Fortunately, he made it on the first try. He lay down on a blanket in the truck bed as she closed the tailgate and topper behind him. Sasha, Nia's Golden Labrador, was curled up in a dog bed at the front of the box. She monitored Jake, but he couldn't tell if she was scared or simply uninterested. Fish Creek Provincial Park did not allow any off-leash animals, so they went for a short drive to the off-leash park. Upon parking, Nia opened the backend of the truck and both Sasha and Jake jumped out and waited until the girls attached leashes to their collars and they walked through the parking lot. Once in the off-leash area, the leashes were removed and Sasha immediately ran off, but only went about fifty metres before turning around and running back. Hannah looked at Jake. "You need exercise-go-run!" As Sasha returned, Nia took out a tennis ball and threw it. Jake ran after the ball as well, not to retrieve the ball, but just to keep up with Sasha. She was fast! Jake worked on his running, since he couldn't really do that in the backyard. He made it look like an attempt to get the ball, but always let Sasha take it. He really didn't want to put that drool-covered ball in his mouth. The girls walked along the path and kept throwing the ball ahead, eventually nearing the end of the dog park, which wasn't far from where the provincial park merged with the Bow River. Jake was enjoying the running, even if he was just running back and forth, pretending to play fetch. As they reached the end of the pathway, Nia threw the ball almost to the fence. Well, it wasn't much of a fence, just a rope fence between some posts to show where the off-leash area ended. The girls had stopped walking, and Jake was being petted and roughed up by both Adriana and Hannah, leaving Sasha to retrieve the ball on her own. Suddenly Nia shouted. "Sasha, stop!" The girls looked and saw a wolf that looked just like Jake, except scrawnier, running to intercept or attack Sasha. Recognizing Brent and unsure of what he was going to do, Jake took off at a full run. Brent was biting the back of Sasha's neck and trying to fuck her when Jake arrived and tackled Brent off of Sasha. The scrawny wolf was furious at getting cock-blocked, as he regained his footing-growling as he turned around. Brent then realized who had pushed him and relaxed. "Fuck Jake! I was wondering where you went. I thought maybe you got caught." He then noticed the collar. "Whoa, you are someone's pet now?" "Yes, I managed to make friends with some humans, so don't go doing something that's going to disrupt the plan to break this curse. They trust me! Remember? Dean's plan, but with human backup." "Yeah, yeah, you've completed step one of your plan. Kudos. Have you seen Larry or Nina? I haven't seen Nina in a long time, but I usually see Larry every other day or so, but haven't seen him in days." "Nope, haven't seen either of them." Sasha had already grabbed the ball and ran back to Nia, so to the girls it just looked like a wolf stand-off, since they were speaking telepathically. Hannah eventually shouted, "Jake!" Jake looked back at Hannah, then at Brent. "Gotta go! Be patient. My communication is pretty limited right now, but we're getting better. Hey, she knows my name! I will tell her the entire story on the next full moon. Then I figure the girls can get the ball rolling on confronting the witches. I'm hoping to be human by the full moon after next." "Good luck, Jake!" Brent said as he turned and sauntered away. Jake then trotted back to the girls and Nia even got down and gave Jake a hug. "Thank you, Jake! I guess being a big bad wolf has its advantages." Sasha had received a cut on her neck, so the walk back to the truck was quicker, with no ball throwing. The dogs jumped up into the truck and they were soon being dropped off at Hannah's place, with Nia saying she was going to take Sasha to the vet to get checked out. When they got home, Jake had just lain down in the dog bed. All that running had tired him out. The girls were discussing movies, while Hannah started making popcorn and Adriana grabbed some sodas and set them on the coffee table. She then crawled over to Jake. She was not wearing a bra and her shirt was very loose fitting. Jake could see her breasts. Adriana smiled as his cock exposed itself. "See something you like, Jake?" Jake nodded. She pulled a breast out of her shirt and Jake happily licked her nipple, then she exposed her other breast and he repeated the action. Then she started rubbing Jake's belly and working her way down to his cock. Soon she was stroking his cock and Jake's cock was itching for action now. The microwave dinged to signal that the popcorn was ready, so Adriana abandoned what she was doing. She licked the precum off her hand and then joined Hannah as they settled onto the couch. Jake's cock still itched. One nice thing about being a dog, though, is it was easy to lick yourself. It wasn't the same as a blowjob, but it actually felt pretty good and made the itching stop. Seeing Jake licking himself, Hannah questioned Adriana. "Did you get him all horny again?" "Who, me?" She said with mock surprise. "Jake's a big boy! If you keep giving him blue balls, he may just get frustrated and fuck you!" Adriana smiled. "Would that be so bad?" Hannah kissed Adriana. "You slut!" "Yeah, but you love it! Besides, you gotta admit. Jake has quite the package." "Yeah, he does. I don't think I'm ready to go that far yet." "Have you let him lick you?" "Yeah, he's pretty good in that department." "And you're calling me a slut? Get him to do it, I want to watch." "Just a second. Let me go change." She said as she got up and went into the bedroom. Coming out moments later in her nightshirt. "Do you have another nightshirt?" "Right side, second drawer down." Adriana then went into the bedroom and came out a minute later wearing a nightshirt. Before she returned from changing, Hannah had spread her legs apart and Jake was licking her sweet slit. Adriana emerged from the bedroom and watched the scene before her. Eventually rubbing Hannah's clit as Jake licked away. As Hannah orgasmed, Adriana slid a finger inside and made her squirt even more. Jake licked with fervour. Adriana then mimicked Hannah's position as Jake moved over and began licking her pussy. She had a thin brown landing strip above her clit and she definitely had a distinct taste from Hannah, but she was even juicier. Adriana had been using the fingers from one hand to spread her nether lips, but Hannah used both hands and gaped Adriana's pussy wide open. This allowed Jake's extra long tongue to delve deep inside her honey pot. It did not take long before Adriana was cumming all over Jake's tongue. "Wow, that was intense!" Adriana said as she tried to get her breathing under control. Then she looked at Jake, who was happily panting away with his cock peeking out of its sheath, watching the half-dressed women. Adriana looked at Hannah and then at Jake. "You have to admit he has a pretty impressive package-and I'm curious." She then got down on the floor, began rubbing Jake's belly and eventually his cock. Coaxing more of his length out of its hiding place. "Curious? What are you going to get down on all fours and let him fuck you?" Hannah said as she watched in fascination. "I know girls do it and I've even seen a video on the Internet once. I remember dogs get attached to the females somehow and you have to wait." Hannah was curiously watching what Adriana was doing. "What's his cock feel like?" "It's got a bit of a different feel than a guy's cock, but it's warm and hard and reacts just like a guy." She then licked her hand, which was covered in precum. "His precum tastes about the same. Slightly salty, and there's more of it." Hannah reached out and touched his cock, followed by licking the precum off her hand. She raised her eyebrows and agreed. "Not bad! I'm still not sure I'd let him fuck me though." "Jake deserves some relief." Adriana said as she turned around and leaned on the couch with her elbows. Her ass facing Jake's direction. Hannah asked, "Are you really sure you want to try this?" "Yes. Come on, Jake, fuck me!" Hannah looked at Jake. "Are you OK doing this, Jake? Do you even want to do this?" Jake nodded. Hannah smiled and said, "This slut is all yours! Make her pay for getting you all horny. Get your rocks off!" Jake moved behind Adriana and gave her pussy and ass a good lick as Adriana spread her ass cheeks apart for him. "Mount me, Jake." Because of Jake's enormous size, he could step over Adriana with his paws still on the floor. After a couple of exploratory thrusts, he suddenly found his cock engulfed by Adriana's warmth. With the target acquired, Jake thrust as deep into Adriana as he could. She just squealed in surprise, but she did not move away. Jake was so happy to fuck a woman again, even if he was getting used to this new form of doggy style. He pounded her pussy relentlessly, all the while being careful not to scratch or hurt her. It only took a couple of minutes of furious fucking before Jake felt this incredible pressure in his balls as he thrust as deep as he could. Suddenly he howled as it felt like his cock exploded deep inside Adriana, causing her to scream her orgasm as well. Adriana clenched her fists and buried her head into the couch, simply saying fuck, repeatedly. Hannah just stared at her friend with a bit of worry. "Are you OK?" Adriana caught her breath and looked at Hannah with an ear-to-ear smile. "Oh, my god! That was incredible. My pussy feels so full! It's like being fisted, but with the added sensation of warm squirts of doggy cum flooding my womb." Hannah tried to push Jake off, but Adriana just groaned. "Uh Hannah ... remember when I said dogs get stuck in the females? I think we're stuck." Hannah looked confused. "What do you mean?" "Can you look? My pussy feels so full right now and I can't really move." His upper body was just resting on Adriana's back, but he could still feel her pussy wrapped snugly around his cock. Jake made some slight movements, but her pussy was not letting go. It felt good, so he was happy to prolong this experience. Hannah moved around behind, lifted his tail, and looked down between their legs. "Well, his cock doesn't look that big. In fact, it looks like it's not much bigger than a finger!" "Well, it sure feels big!" "Let me try something." Hannah then pulled Adriana's labia apart, eventually causing squirts of cum to escape the seal. "Oh my god, it IS huge!" She continued to spread Adriana's pussy open until eventually his cock popped free of the confines of Adriana's pussy, along with a hefty puddle of cum. As Adriana was inspecting her pussy, which was leaking a copious amount of cum, Hannah was staring at Jake's cock. "I can't believe he's that huge! Wow!" Jake had to admit, his cock even impressed himself! His cock was enormous and there was this big knot near the base. That was what got him stuck in Adriana-mind you, she felt fantastic! Adriana simply smiled. "You should try it! I'll definitely let him fuck me again." "Seriously? His cock got stuck inside you and you want to do it again?" "Think about it. He's loyal, won't blabber to his friends, and you can have sex whenever you want it. Plus, it feels absolutely incredible-so primal!" Hannah looked back and forth between Adriana and Jake, unsure of what to say. Finally she said, "You're bigger than me. I'm worried if he fucks me, he'll break my pussy!" Then she laughed. "Wouldn't that be an awkward conversation with the doctor? Yeah doc, I hurt myself trying to fuck my dog." Both girls laughed at that, but then Adriana came up with an idea. "Nia's fisted me before. It feels incredible. Fucking Jake is like getting fisted, but with the added sensation of hot cum squirting into you. You should seriously try fisting. It'll ease your mind about him breaking you?" Hannah smiled. "Nia fisted you? We've never tried that before." Adriana got on her knees and turned her ass toward Hannah. "Go ahead, I'm sure there's more than enough doggy cum inside for lubrication." Hannah was on her knees, fingering Adriana's pussy and spreading the lubrication around, starting with three fingers, then four, and finally tucking her thumb into her palm and slipping her entire hand into Adriana's pussy. Adriana just moaned her approval as Hannah fucked her fist in and out. It didn't take long for Adriana to cum from that. As Hannah withdrew her cum-covered hand, both girls licked the juices. Then, with a smile, Adriana reminded Hannah that some of that cum was Jake's. Hannah then sat on the couch and rubbed his cum all over her pussy. Adriana crawled over and began working her fingers into Hannah's quivering quim. It took a bit of work before Adriana could even broach the point of fisting. Hannah was biting her bottom lip and must've been holding her breath, because when Adriana's hand sunk in to the wrist, Hannah's eyes shot open and she exhaled. "Holy fuck! I feel stuffed." "Do you want me to continue or stop?" "Keep going." Adriana slowly twisted her hand, not really moving it in or out, just twisting. Hannah moaned in appreciation as Adriana pulled out and push in slowly. Hannah's pussy looked obscenely stretched around her friend's hand. As Hannah relaxed and got used to the sensation, Adriana could pick up the pace and eventually it was full extraction and reinsertion as Hannah's pussy made a slurping, sloshing sound. Eventually she orgasmed, closing her legs and preventing Adriana from withdrawing her hand. Adriana slowly withdrew from the petite blonde as she and kissed Hannah passionately. As the kiss broke, they both looked at the popcorn and simultaneously said, "Movie time!" They went to the washroom and cleaned up, but were soon back on the couch and going through the movie selection, eventually choosing a movie Jake hadn't even heard of. The movie didn't interest Jake at all, and all the running was catching up with him as he just went to sleep in the dog bed. When he awoke, the movie was over, and the girls were no longer there. A quick glance at the clock revealed it was nearing midnight. After getting a drink of water and a bite of the dog food, which didn't taste all that bad, he went into the bedroom and found Adriana was sleeping in his spot. He had suspected that was going to be the case, so he just let them rest. They both had classes tomorrow. Jake had to go to the washroom, so he let himself outside. The night air was cool, but with his fur coat, it actually wasn't as chilling as he expected. As he was doing his business in the dog run, he still couldn't believe Adriana let him fuck her. Fucking as a dog was definitely a unique experience from doing it as a human, but the orgasm was nothing short of spectacular. As he was about to go back into the house, he heard a wolf's howl off in the distance. Jumping the fence, Jake ran off in the howl's direction, which was west toward the Bow River side of the park. Moments later he found Brent fucking some strange dog, but she was fighting him and he wasn't having much luck. Jake's arrival distracted him and the bitch got away. "Jake, what is it with you constantly cock-blocking me?" "Sorry man, this is the first time I've sneaked out at night. I just ran in the direction I heard a howl." "Well, I didn't howl." As if on queue, they heard the howl. It sounded further towards the Bow River end of the park. "Maybe it's Nina?" Brent said as he turned and ran in that direction. Jake followed him. It felt good to run. As they passed the unmarked perimeter of the park, they continued to follow the green space that bordered the Bow River as it flowed south through the city. Eventually coming upon a female wolf that looked like she was defending a deer she had killed from five coyotes. Brent informed Jake. "That's not Nina, she's an actual wolf!" Jake and Brent sauntered between the coyotes and the wolf. The wolf eyed Brent and Jake, realizing they were not part of her pack. While the coyotes, seeing their numerical advantage disintegrate, decided better than to try fighting the three larger wolves and ran away. Jake wasn't about to eat the deer, but Brent tried to sneak in for a bite. The wolf just growled, but didn't really show any signs of further aggression. Since Brent wasn't showing any aggression, she eventually let him come in and tear off a chunk of meat. Jake's stomach turned at seeing the carnage of eating the raw meat. He had to break this curse somehow. They did not deserve to be turned into dogs just because they were men. Every time he got thinking about what that witch had done, it upset him more and if he didn't find something else to think about, he'd eventually work himself into a frenzy. A part of him that got so upset he just wanted to go bust in her door and rip her to shreds. As Brent and the female wolf were eating, a bear wandered out of the trees and started towards them. The female wolf bit off a sizeable chunk of meat and then ran away. Brent either didn't notice the bear or didn't care. It wasn't until the bear made his presence known that Brent got the hint. You don't mess with a hungry bear! "Jake, you didn't get any meat. You should've gotten some while the getting was good." He then spotted the tag around Jake's neck. "Oh yeah, you're someone's pet now. You get store-bought food or leftovers and fresh water all the time. How's the plan for breaking the curse coming along?" "It's been 2 days! It's going to take some time. I seriously doubt I will accomplish anything until the next full moon. Any idea when that is?" "There's half a moon in the sky, so I would say we're about halfway between moons." Brent said, before his ears perked up and he ran off to the North. Jake didn't hear whatever Brent did. Looking around, he didn't see any immediate threats. Either way, he didn't want to hang around too long alone, so he ran back to the house, although as he passed his own house, he jumped the fence into the backyard. He tried the door handle again, but found it still locked. His parents probably did that as a security precaution or from a suggestion by the police. He really wanted to tell them he was OK. He walked around the side of the house and saw that they had recovered his work truck, so there was that. It also meant they would suspect foul play. Hopefully, they traced his phone and looked in the cloud backup. As he was just about to jump the fence and go back to Hannah's, he stepped in some mud. His dad must've drained and cleaned the hot tub. Probably to save electricity, since his mom and dad rarely ever used it. Jake used it several times per week. Having muddy paws, Jake got an idea. Using the mud from the hot tub, he wrote his name in mud on the patio. Surely, if his parents saw the mud, they'd look at the surveillance cameras and see a wolf writing his name. They had a doorbell cam, a cam watching the garage and a cam under the balcony that watched Jake's patio and the backyard. It was just one more way to tell them he was OK and to keep looking. Having left the message, Jake hopped the fence and sauntered back to Hannah's place, making sure all the mud was off his paws, but then deciding to just sleep in the doghouse with the heated mat.
