In a house full of Siberian Huskies, Hu-dad purposely gives each pup some one-on-one time. Q-Tip thought he had claimed some extra solo time, but it was a case of so close, yet so far.

    What impresses me is that the hu-dad also sits on the chaise without a cushion. You pups have trained him well!

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend

June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.

A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
