I remembered that the ovens that I’d seen had holes at the back for chimneys. I made mine the same way. I waited for dry month that summer--haying w...ather! to dry out that big-assed lump of clay, then I gradually fired it in steps. I burned out the internal supports, then kept feeding it and feeding it. I kept that thing roaring hotter than hell for three days and two nights before I let it go out.

Squealing with laughter, the girl got out from under, but the dog kept chasing her, trying to pin her again, until she ran from the room. Then there was another showing a small dog humping his owner’s thigh while she, fully dressed, languidly laid on her bed reading a book and letting him do it. And, there was another, very blurry one, where a dog leapt onto a bed where two girls in just panties and bras were fooling around and climbed astride one of them who was lying face down. The other girl.
