Shake & Fingerpop - True Blood 2.4 recap by Jacob p6 | TWoP: Lynda Barry has an interesting thing to say, which is that
some dogs are so beaten by the time you get them, you could spend a lifetime training them to stay off the bed, go to the bathroom in the proper place, not be scared of strangers or men, stop shivering when there's nothing to be afraid of. Stop barking when people try to pet you. You could go nuts waiting for them to pull it together.
And in these cases -- and for us all -- there exists an alternative, which is to go back to the beginning. You let that dog, no matter how old or stinky or terrified or angry, just be a puppy again. You let her have the chance for another mother, a softer and more loving one. You hold her you take the giraffe in your arms, and you rock him. you rock him, speak in soothing tones, and you let her have her way long enough that she realizes she's got a second shot. Now, it's only temporary, and in the wrong circumstances -- and most of the time they are -- this would be disastrous. why. what is the disaster. what's wrong with being like a child again. michael jackson. what's wrong. But if the dog is broken enough, sometimes it's a way to heal.

when I awoke, the animals were there all around me. the giraffe, weeping like flowers in the moon.
inconsolable.
