It was situated so that a nice breeze would come off the water and keep the mosquitoes away. The fire grate was in a good location and the tent pad wa... well drained.The designated campsites were equipped with a square shaped wooden box with a round hole and a cover. The box is the place where you are supposed to deposit your biological functions. It's not the most pleasant experience in the world, but it is necessary. I thought back to the time when Sandy went up to use the wooden box while I. Our old one what had come with us from the Carolina low country wuz just too beat up ta use anymore. None of the kids could make the trip, so Wildflower an' Holley stayed behind ta look after them. I left four dogs with them fer protection.Salome an' Sheba had each dropped a litter, so I had trained 11 new dogs as war dogs. I wanted ta sell some of them because we really didn't need that many, so we took 15 dogs with us on the trip. That's a hell of a lot of dogs, but I wanted ta let it be. My fur hid the damage mostly. I was probably bruised all over but it was only places where they had broken the skin with the fur matted with blood that you could see the damage they had wrought.Sandra came to rub salt in my wounds, with another round of her "training".By the end of the day I had gone from barely able to move to completely unable to move. Fresh wounds dripping blood on the straw of my cage, a bowl of dog food my only meal.Sunday was just as bad if not worse. Pain became my whole. "But it's still worth quite a bit," Mike mused, his eyes seeming tonearly gleam with the obvious greed. "I bet I could find a buyer noproblem. In fact I bet those guys you saw were black market dealers..."I shook my head at that, seeing the wheels turning in Mike's head.Neither of us would risk using this thing, but Mike didn't seem to havea problem with selling it to someone who would. There were a lot ofdesperate people who'd jump at the chance to use this thing no matterwhat the risks.
